Chill bar with impressive selection of whiskey and liquors. Delicious spicy bloody Mary’s with beer chaser Wisconsin style- love that. Breakfast burritos are fat, filling and tasty. The Scrapeheap Gumbo was one of the best tasting gumbos I’ve had- flavorful and spicy. Colleen was awesome behind the bar- efficient, attentive, cheerful. Great spot for breakfast and drinking. Highly recommend.
Love the half off food on Monday deal, cocktails were fairly priced and tasty, bartender was kind. Loved the warmth from the sun coming in through the windows. It’s a good Monday bike spot for my group!!
Finally had the chance to stop in to Twisted Spoke for a quick drink with my partner and her coworkers. When I walked in I instantly loved all the cool decor that hung on the walls and from the ceiling. The drink prices are very reasonably priced and strong lol. Our server was super kind and personable. One thing to note is that in the back area where we were seated it was very chilly so just a heads up if you’re swinging by during the winter like we did.
Great Pub, Great Good, Great Service, Great Roof Patio . I dig this Biker Bar !!!! Stop in have a beer and a shot enjoy great food and walk around and look at alittle ole’ skool biker history before the hipster and yuppy took it over . cheers!
I went on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and it was packed! The bartender needs more help tbh. I had the chillaquilles and they were so good. My daughter had the cheeseburger really liked it too. They don't take reservations and the space is pretty tight but we were lucky to find a seat at the bar. Definitely worth trying.
This place is an awesome spot with a great vibe! The food was delicious, especially the burgers, and the drink selection was top-notch. The rooftop seating added to the experience, making it a perfect place to hang out. Friendly staff and great service—definitely coming back soon!
I love their Bloody Mary and burgers. The atmosphere looks like a bikers bar but it's so much more than that. Staff is friendly like talking to a friend. They have a huge list of bourbons from every level.
Very cool spot at the corner of Ogden & Grand. If you like motorcycles & liquor…this place is for you! I enjoyed this place 20 years ago, and it’s still as cool as ever. The food was beyond my expectations l- super delicious. The waitress was so sweet telling us about the gumbo, which we will definitely try next time! I also see a Bloody Mary in the review photos that I absolutely need to try!! I am looking forward to coming back soon!
