LOBO (Lights Out, Barks Out!)
LOBO is a monthly furry and pup club night operating simultaneously in Washington DC and Chicago. Founded in DC in July 2019 and expanded to Chicago in February 2020, it bridges the furry and pet play communities with regular events, a performing dance corps, and over $15,000 raised for charity.
What to Expect
LOBO's two cities offer different vibes:
- Washington DC at Green Lantern: Circuit sound, brighter energy
- Chicago at Cellblock: Darker house, underground feel
Both are LGBTQ+ bar venues. The LOBO Dance Corps performs at events. The atmosphere welcomes furries, pups, and kinksters.
