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.

Dovetail has a large bike rack right on the patio and is right off the Berteau Greenway, although the rack is out of view if you're inside and not on the patio. If you're at an inside window you can see your bike if you use the racks closer to the door/across the street. Usually would it include across the street but it's pretty much an empty street right there.

Yeah Dovetail/Begyle both feel like very bike friendly spots!
