Best Biker Bar

Tour De Brew
Chicago Magazine, August 31, 2004


The bicycle hanging from the ceiling is just one sign that the Handlebar (2311 W. North Ave.; 773-384-9546) caters to a biking crowd -- though one that clearly prefers Schwinns to Harley-Davidsons. There are bike racks out front for the bar's patrons, the nonsmoking environment forces puffers outside to the cozy beer garden, and the inexpensive vegetarian sandwiches, pastas, and salads provide fuel for the ride home.
