"Broken Barrel’s massive patio and three indoor dining rooms are all equipped with their own bars and plenty of TVs—the ideal setup for catching a game. But even if you have zero interest in screaming profanities at a screen, the wings alone make it worth stopping by this Lincoln Park spot. They get an extra flavor from being smoked over oak logs before hitting the fryer, and come with all sorts of sauces ranging from a mild bourbon BBQ to the spicy ”sex panther” made with ghost peppers and habaneros. Make sure to get a few grilled wings, too—the extra char pairs perfectly with their tangy smoky chipotle sauce." - adrian kane, phaithe norman, john ringor
