Serious EatsMay 21, 2013Bird's Nest serves some incredibly solid wings: juicy, flavorful, and crisp. Even the celery and blue cheese were good. And at just 70 cents per wing, that's a serious deal.- Brynn ConnellyJuly 17, 2011Best bar in the neighborhood! Cheap drinks, great food, and the service is great. Best tip: if you're a douche, you probably won't get great service here. take your fist pumping to wrigleyville.

Sandy HOctober 8, 2014Wings are great and the garlic fries are the best...I come here just for those fries!
- AngelaOctober 8, 2014Awesome chicken wings, fun staff and the best garlic fries in Chicago. Great spot to watch football too.
Todd BernierMarch 7, 2015Best wings in Chicago. Occasionally hard to find a seat, but otherwise my favorite dive bar in the city.
Emily HubbardApril 5, 2013Great wings for 45 cents on Thursdays. $8 pitchers of miller or miller hi-life. Good place to watch the hawks game if you can snag a seat!
- Wings and Beer deal on Thursday and Sunday is great. 50¢ wings and $9 pitchers
Amazing wings. Get buffalo. Wash it down with house tequila or $2 PBRs.
John B.September 21, 2013Tell the bartender "the bird is the word" to gain entry to the actual nest.
Anthony JamesJanuary 17, 2013If you come for dollar burgers you have to order a beer. Just a FYI since they don't tell you that beforehand
Ryan YepsenJanuary 3, 2010Wings are delicious and make it worth coming to this otherwise lame bar with typically disappointing service.
Someone didn't listen to CP and made Patty angry, now she's gone :(
