The Aberdeen Tap

This River West bar has some of the best chicken wings in the city. The naked wings alone already have a pleasant smoky char, and get even more flavor from housemade sauces like spicy jerk or BBQ. The Buffalo is especially delicious—a perfect balance of buttery and vinegary, plus a little bit of sweetness. But if you don't really care about wings (you should), other dishes like their gator or duck sausages and the BBQ adobo chicken grinder are also delicious. Come by to catch a game, unwind with some friends, or relax with a beer on their patio.
