Twin Anchors Restaurant & Tavern 8.5
Old Town
Vibes: Comfort Food Classics Group Dining Gatherings Family Friendly Favorites Hidden Gems Heaven
Twin Anchors has been a Chicago rib tavern since 1932, turning out baby back ribs with house barbecue sauces in a wood-paneled Old Town barroom. Locals and visitors come for fall-off-the-bone slabs, chili, and the Sinatra-era atmosphere that still feels like a neighborhood hangout rather than a museum piece.
Must-Try Dishes: Full Slab Baby Back Ribs with Prohibition Sauce, Rib & Chicken Combo, Our Acclaimed Homemade Chili
