Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Speaking of favorite bars...

What your favorite, bike oriented/friendly bar?

I like McSorleys in NYC on a Sunday afternoon after a ride because of the atmosphere, ease of keeping my eye on my bike right outside, and the fact that I never get weird looks because of my bike outfit.

best bar in Chicago that is totally biker friendly!

Hell yeah the Handlebar!

For me The Triple Rock Social Club, on the west bank here in Minneapolis.

Not only do they encourage alternative forms of transportation (look at the bottom of their homepage), but they also have a burger/pint for 5$. Not just burgers, but veggie burgers for all of you vegans out there. Not to mention tuesdays are 2 for 1's much drunkeness has occured within those brick walls.

Of course any bar which you can succesfully navigate home from after a couple of beers is good in my book.

I am with you goatmeal. The whole navigating home after a long evening is the key part!

mmmmmmm beer.....(insert Homer Simpson sounds as appropriate)

the Zeitgeist, in San Francisco.

Hell yeah the Handlebar!

Weren't we going to have a Chicago SS/fixie meet there last year? ...hey, did everyone go without me? :(

I don't think it ever happened. Weather is getting nicer, and we should make this for a weekend. The weekdays will suck for me.

Ride first, then eat?

In one of those rare moments in life, I concur with 165 about meeting on a weekend.

Also: the handlebar is cool and all... but once in a while a guy needs some meat. (165, I don't want to hear some gay bar joke out of you. I do in fact mean beef, as in hamburger.) How's about getting them to but some black angus on the menu? Then, the bar would be awesome!... Not that I wouldn't commit to hanging with you guys there anyways.

Nevertheless, Quenchers is my new favorite bar in Chicago.

A great little pub/bar is Jury's. Neighborhood atmosphere (not a 'biker' bar but nice), great burgers, good beer selection and a rear deck. Lincoln Ave and Pensacola Ave.

true - however, quite frequently i get that extra vegan-powered tailwind, everything helps.. especially heading north on the lakepath. :)

McGlinchys....awesome! I go there a lot... Cheap beer and lots of fixed gear bikes chained up outside to look at. If you see the "nocoins" bike with a raingutter as a makeshift fender outside, you will know I am inside.... and probably drunk. I live a few blocks down from that bar.

I dont know McKenna's.... where is that? ...$1 pints...and its not PBR...sign me up.

yeah mcglincheys!! $2.35 pints of guinness and a ms pacman machine. soo good!!
Bob & Babaras on 16th and South. Dag Queen Thursdays and PBR and a shot for a 3 dollars, very fun and lots of bikes
