While some Chicago bars self describe themselves as cool (think “Finn McCool’s”), others just are others, like the Twisted Spoke. “The Spoke,” as locals refer to it, is much more than just “biker friendly” as it is often described in many of the standard, mind-numbing reviews. At the Spoke, you’ll find some of the best burgers in town, one of the few rooftop patios around, a 190-strong beer selection, excellent Bloody Marys, the largest whiskey selection in Chicago, and the strangely alluring “Smut & Eggs.” The Twisted Spoke comes to you out of the same madness from which sprang Twisted Spoke Wrigleyville and Bone Daddy (both sadly gone), and, by itself, the original Twisted Spoke has become one of the best bars in Chicago.
