Someone told me about Rumors but I always forget to go there. that’s pretty damn close to me. I’ll have to talk Lushie into going out for wings. Thanks for the heads up

Whoops, how about a name? The name of the place is Rumor’s. Been going there for 7 years now, back when it was Nicki’s Roadhouse.

Agree. Eli’s does have some of the best wings. I don’t even bother getting wings at places like Quaker Steak, mostly because they’re overpriced and disappointing.

If you want something a little closer to the ‘burgh, I can recommend a good dive bar in New Sewickley. 5 minutes from Cranberry. Good selection (30+), and cheap on wing night (Mon & Thurs). Better in the summer when you can sit outside (away from the smoke). Still go there in the winter though, it’s that good.

Well it was good advice because I have yet to taste wings better than his.

Now see, this is the information that needs to be on a tour guide! thanks loco! We’ll be up the weekend of the 17th for a brewfest at BrewErie. Hopefully the first session. I need to break sickpuppy into the Erie ways. We’ll let ya know!

“extra crispy sloppy” is how I like my wings… and porn I used to frequent Park Tavern as a kid after playing baseball. I forgot it was still around. Bootleggers has good wings? I always went there for the cheap beer and women back in the day. I heard great things about Fat Boys and was bummed last week to see that it was replaced with a wine bar. An upscale wine bar in Erie still amazes me. If Hooters can’t make it how will this place *haha*

Eli’s is all kinds of awesome. I’ve had wings from all of the places you mentioned and they can’t touch some of the Erie dive bars. At work we have a wing club where once a month we get together and try a new place. It gives the married guys an opportunity to get away from the wives and the single guys the chance to get all full and drunk. Keep these places in mind next time you’re back in town and need a wing. You’ve probably heard/had most of these, but if you haven’t I’d put these guys on par with Eli’s

1.) Park Tavern – Not many flavors but how many bars give you the option of getting your wings “extra crisy sloppy”? Great title for a porn and a great way to order your wings.

2.) Coach’s – They use the same recipe as the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, birth place of the winged chicken dinner. Bonus points: They have lots of tv’s and on those tv’s are lots of sports.

3.) Chippers – They have somewhere around 2,500 flavors…or so it seems. Dive bar, excellent wings.

4.) Fiddle Inn – If you can handle the trains rumbling by while you eat, you’re in for a tasty winged treat.

5.) Bootleggers – New to the wing game, but you’d never know it. Flavor country, they name is Bootleggers.

HOF Award – The best place in my opinion is the now defunct Fat Boys. It’s memory is ruined by the fact it was replaced by an upscale wine bar.

Next time you’re in Erie and feel the need to devour bird parts, the wings are on me.
