What makes Jackhammer special

Upstairs, Jackhammer is a normal bar with a patio, free pool and darts. Down in “The Hole” it gets darker and louder, and further rooms such as the Rec Room and Den are geared towards leather and gear. The bar is a destination in itself, as the rest of the scene is far to the south. Theme nights alternate on a weekly rhythm.
