Bird's Nest

Super GemLincoln Park · Bar/Wings Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2500 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Bird's Nest opened in October 1995 and has barely changed since — a classic corner sports bar a few blocks from DePaul, where the wings (10, 20, or 30 to a basket, in the house hot sauce or five other options) built the reputation that's since spun off a first branch in Arlington Heights.
