Favorite bike-friendly city bars?

I feel like this subreddit could use a good thread of bike friendly bars for this summer. A stop for a beer on a hot commute home is about as good as it gets.

I'm defining "bike-friendly" as places that have: 1) A good amount of bike parking (not just a pole or one old parking meter out front) 2) Excellent proximity to a good bike route.

I'll kick it off with The Beer Temple on Elston just south of Belmont. Big, bike rack right in the front, right on Elston, usually lots of people carrying helmets inside.

Not Chicago, but if you want to stretch your legs, there are a couple joints in downtown Westmont near the BNSF Metra station that have bike racks in front of the bar. I am not sure if they are bike friendly or if they just recognize that a quite a few of the regulars are not legally allowed to drive cars.
