• Twisted Spoke - look for the motorcycle on the roof with a skeleton rider.Really good bar food - burgers, nachos, etc. Open late - watch for the "smut and eggs" specials on the weekends. It's soft core porn movies and food to crash at night.Where else can you find a place that has Jim Beam on tap?

• Solid brunch. Plenty of whisky and solid beer list.

• Always caught my eye when I'd drive past and finally got to go as bar of the Chicago Bar Bracket. Tempura Bacon = amazing & a handful of delicious Bloody Mary's to choose from.

  by Eric V.

  
  

• Great late night option.

  by T Callahan

  
  

• Good beer selection, but the food is the real star. The gumbo is amazing, as well as the chili!

  by Kirk H.

  
  

• Egg-y brunch is definitely an option here, but why be distracted by scrambles and toast when you can get a famous Fatboy, which is customizable with a variety of toppings at no extra charge.

  by Chicagoist

  
  

• Burgers, beer & old motorcycles.

  by Tom H.

  by Eric M.

  
  

• If the weather is nice, go spend some time on the roof. If empty, it's a great place for a big group.

  by Ryan K.

  
  

• Nice craft beer list, unfortunately they seem to be out of a lot of it. They came through in the end though with a nice recommendation. Don't skip the bloody mary.

  by Bob D.

  by Hillman Philistia

  by chibueze

  
  

• Fatboys. Bloodies. Beer. Awesome.

  by August R.

  
  

• Whatever hype they may have left, don't believe it. Disinterested (at best) service, served up with plenty of "attitude." Sad, because the food's decent and there's still not much else in the hood.

  by Christopher Marty

  
  

• Bartender is very knowledge about her whiskeys and bourbons. Large bourbon list

  by Jessica E.

  
  

• If you're thirsty and want Kick Ass service then look no further!!

  by Lorena F.

  
  

• Deck up top open during summer; the Hangover Hospital is a brilliant brunch menu. Bloody Mary is among the finest in the fair city. You won't regret heading out west to get there.

  by Ryan C.

• They are filming an episode of Check Please right now.

  by Darren B.

  
  

• The burger is very good. But you don't have to have it every time. Its craft beers are quite good. I can even urge you to go for the random "Butch's Beer Special" should you want to cheap it out.

  by Steve ‘Pudgy’ D.

  
  

• Bookers whiskey, neat. With a cold ale. 136 proof never tasted so good. DO NOT SHOOT IT! This whiskey needs to be enjoyed.

• They have the Pappy Van Winkle 15yr for only $12. Try it on Wednesday for 1/2 price.

  by Jason K.

• Joining the masses of people recommending the "Fried Egg Sandwich".

  by s.

  
  

• The road rash bloody mary is phenomenal. If you like buffalo sauce, you have to try the chicken tenders. They make their own buffalo sauce and it kicks the crap out of bottled buffalo sauce. Yum!

  by JENNIFER H.

  
  

• Bloody Marys with beer chasers and meat sticks are best in Chicago. #winning

  by Kerry S.

  
  

• I think the names of their drinks are chessy, and some of the graffiti on the bathroom walls are juvenile. But they have a repatriation

  by Randi C.

  
  

• The absolute best chilla-killas in the land. Chorizo or chicken...you cannot lose!

  by Erin W.

  
  

• The Bloodies are delicious, the roof is the best and there is nothing bad on the food menu (although the falafel comes unassembled, which is tricky). Tuesday's dirty dozen can't be beat!

  by Robert p

  
  

• Great Bloody Mary's loaded with tons of meat and cheese. Brunch menu is amazing. I do the Lavache Poire, but also highly recommend the corned beef hash. Sit at the bar, too! Awesome staff on Sundays.

  by Aeroschiquita

  
  

• Patio is great on an Indian summer day!

  by Renee J

  
  

• If you're a daring man, try the Double Fatty. It's enough to kill ya. I actually finished one off w/ the fries and my beers. It's a mean burger

  by Anthony E.

  
  

• Picnic tables and a great whiskey selection make this teeny rooftop, overlooking a fairly blah section of the city, a laid-back spot to catch some sun.

  by Wild Scotsman

  
  

• Go to Twisted Spoke on a Wednesday for half-price on all whiskeys. Try George Stagg. The portobello sandwiches are addicting as well.

• I snorted my bloody mary when I read "woman peas (formerly known as chick)" in the ingredients for Hummus.

  by Kathryn J.

  
  

• Unmissable. Get the classic bloody mary, best anywhere. Burgers are massive and excellent. Salma-bloody, not recommended. The nightly drink specials are a great deal.
