Best bloody Mary in the city, all their food is incredible, highlights are: flaming wings, egg sandwich, steak burrito, meatloaf and buffalo chicken sandwich. Check out their lunch special!
Faithe MasonDecember 7, 2014This place was really cool. They have a million different whiskeys and a $2 mystery beer grab bag. Good looked awesome but I was there for the whiskey. Very nice staff and a super cool setup.
Redeye ChicagoDecember 17, 2015Twisted Spoke just celebrated its' 20th birthday, officially making it a classic Chicago pub for a laid back night. Make sure to try the fatboy burger and to check out the amazing rooftop! Read more
mary hodurMarch 19, 2018Bloody Mary's are killer! Food is fun and sooo good! Staff is awesome.... And sit on the rooftop on a sunny day - you won't want to leave! Plus, look at the fun decor! Love it!
ChicagoistDecember 23, 2014Egg-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.

Tempura Bacon = amazing & a handful of delicious Bloody Mary's to choose from. Read more

Scott KleinbergJanuary 15, 2017The Bloody Mary here is out of this world -- among the best in all of chicago.
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.
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.
chibuezeFebruary 13, 2014Awesome rooftop summer brunches. Can't miss. And their extensive beer & whiskey selections keep you warm & tucked in during the winter months.
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.
Bob DeGraffSeptember 13, 2014Nice 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.
Badass drinks. Esp the Fellini they change for the seasons. Sat night. Porn n breakfast served at midnight. Oh ya with heavy metal music! Yes I'm a chick who isn't lezbo or 28929392 pounds lol
Eric VenkerFebruary 8, 2015"an airy rooftop beer garden, a standout whiskey selection...a beer selection that lives up to the rest at this not-so-subtly biker-inspired bar" - Thrillist
Marquise NealJune 14, 2013Their burgers are great! It was really big and juicy. What more can you ask for?!
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!
The cheese curds are the best I've had in the city, and the honey mustard they serve it with has a nice kick!
Great burger deal for lunch! Legendary Fatboy burger which includes a select beer or soda for $10! Also have 3 limited dogfishhead brews on draft! Get'em while the gettins good!
Order the McGangBang (off menu) - not for the fearful - Double Cheeseburger stuffed with a Buffalo chicken breast and homemade Kimschi
JENNIFER HUMBRECHTApril 18, 2011The 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!
Kirk HerlitzDecember 30, 2014Good beer selection, but the food is the real star. The gumbo is amazing, as well as the chili!
RyanSeptember 26, 2014If the weather is nice, go spend some time on the roof. If empty, it's a great place for a big group.
Time Out ChicagoSeptember 14, 2010Picnic 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. Read more
Jennifer StraubMarch 21, 2012Typical biker bar. Amazing rooftop patio in the summer and an endless selection of never-heard-of-that-before beer.
Chris ShackletonAugust 8, 2014Top 5 favorite burger in Chicago. The whiskey selection is a cut above anywhere.
Wings y'all. And Southwest inspired egg dishes for weekend brunch w/ Bloody Mary's.
Heather KristinJune 25, 2011Some of the best hand-cut shoe-string fries in the city. Bloody Marys provide a meat skewer and side-car (small beer back).
Ask for a whiskey sour from the bartender with the elongated earlobes. You won't be disappointed. Or sober for long.
JG BMarch 14, 2010Unmissable. Get the classic bloody mary, best anywhere. Burgers are massive and excellent. Salma-bloody, not recommended. The nightly drink specials are a great deal.
Jessica EliasDecember 31, 2013Bartender is very knowledge about her whiskeys and bourbons. Large bourbon list
Vincent JohnsonAugust 1, 2011Bookers whiskey, neat. With a cold ale. 136 proof never tasted so good. DO NOT SHOOT IT! This whiskey needs to be enjoyed.
Derrick WhiteheadMay 3, 2021The burgers and beer were excellent however the wings were subpar. The quality of the wings were suspect as they were old looking, small, and visible porous skin. Minimal Buffalo sauce. Not good.
Brunch. Brunch. Brunch. (Corned beef hash and fried egg sandwich are dope.)
Anthony EddingsOctober 6, 2010If 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
Cannot go wrong with the Lavache Poire for Brunch! Do it!- Frank ClarkApril 14, 2012Get the classic manhattan or bloody mary. If Justin is working you can't go wrong.
Hillman PhilistiaSeptember 3, 2014Decent bar food. Roof top seating. Quality control could be better. Good weeknight spot.
Best bloody on Earth, best staff in Chicago, phenomenal beer selection...'nough said #RideTheRail
Ben BlockJuly 13, 2016We heard great things about the Bloody Mary, but the waiter told us it's made with beef broth! So disappointed.
