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.
Paul CatalanoJune 3, 2011Perfect neighborhood dive. One or two good drafts, one good menu item -- wings, and a pool table with nary a wait. If you're going to critique the service or the food, you've missed the point. It's Read more
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 :(

"Great jukebox, people, and smoke. This place is a time warp in a great way. When bars were bars, not libraries. $.75 hard boiled eggs. Get in on that! :-)"

"Loads of beer on tap, whiskeys, and cocktails, which are very good. The poutine was fantastic & an excellent twist on the Canadian Classic. The Octopus wasn't all to tender and the sauce wasn't great."
Kevin Dulin - 9.2
"A must for any baseball fan, visited from Texas and immediately fell in love with the ballpark. No glitz and glamour like modern ballparks, but a simple, incredible atmosphere."

"Holy smoked wings! This is the go to wing spot for me now. Best sports bar food in the area by a mile"
