    Bird'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.

    Best 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.

    Best wings in Chicago. Occasionally hard to find a seat, but otherwise my favorite dive bar in the city.

    Great 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 are delicious and make it worth coming to this otherwise lame bar with typically disappointing service.
