We were visiting friends who lived in the area and decided to go to this bar with these friends. We wanted to check the bar in the back and the guy manning the bar in the back said they were enforcing a theme tonight which is leather or uniform theme. All four of us were disappointed because we wanted to check the place out. We stayed in the front bar and like most group of friends, we ordered drinks, talked and laughed. Our friend had an idea how one of us could get in. Somehow we had leather we could use to gain entry. As I approached the guy, he said he didn't care what I wore and accused our group of making fun of people in the bar and that he was offended. He told me I could not get in. I didn't say anything to him but got really surpirsed and upset about his accusation. First of all, how can he make that judgment when he could only see us from a distance and could not hear what we were saying. Second, my friends and I are all professionals and do not judge or make fun of people like how he was accusing us. I felt he was DISCRIMINATING us because he didn't like how we looked or how we didn't fit in the crowd for him. I asked the guy in the entrance about the other guy in the back manning the bar in the back. It turned out he was the manager named DAVID!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! WE WILL DEFINITELY NOT COME BACK TO A PLACE WITH A MANAGER RUNNING THE PLACE LIKE THIS!!! VERY JUDGMENTAL WITHOUT VALID FACTS!!!

SO Much Fun Every Time

Every time I've been to Chicago the last few years I always become a regular at Touche. The vibe and crowd are always down for some good times and my particular skills (ahem....) are always in demand and appreciated in the back room. LOVE this place. GO!

Leather bar????

Leather? Where? Who? Disappointed big time after a visit - although the crew was nice and friendly

Awesome!

I loved this place. Made my first visit, not only to Touche, but to the leather scene in general. I am hooked. The back bar was very cruisey, lots of action, hot and sweaty, men of all types from cute little twinks to large muscled leathermen, and bikers, cowboys, and everyone in between. I cannot wait to visit again. I'll have to get a room nearby so I can stay until 5am. I had to leave early to drive back to MKE. Poor planning on my part.
