CHICAGO — Chicago’s oldest leather bar Touché is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this week.
The bar kicked off the celebrations on Wednesday, Nov. 1, at the bar itself. The bar had drink prices from 1977, a performance from Sharon McKnight, a buffet and birthday cake.
The celebration will continue through the weekend.
