Twisted Spoke is Closing Soon, Marking the End of an Era
After three decades in West Town, Twisted Spoke is set to close at the end of August. The bar and grill has been an icon in the neighborhood, with its welcoming atmosphere and Whiskey Wednesdays. It has been a part of many unforgettable stories of customers who have witnessed the atmosphere of this bike-themed bar.
In a social media post, the bar announced its upcoming closure, stating various reasons for the same. With August 31, 2025, being the last ride of this establishment, locals have just a few more days to make their last visit. The announcement comes amid broader economic challenges that have impacted many local businesses.
“August 31st is the last ride. No more Fatboys. No more wings that could raise the dead. No more Road Rash Mary to cure your sins,” reads the post.
Lease and Other Reasons for the Closure
On social media, the reasons stated for this closure are many. The reasons include a lease expiration, a desire to spend more time with family, and health considerations, making the decision final.
Though longtime patrons will miss the bar, the owners say the time has come to move on. As shared in the post, “Everything dies,” and right now it is time for locals to say goodbye to Twisted Spoke. Locals are encouraged to stop by for a final Road Rash Mary, wings, and a last look at what made Twisted Spoke a staple.
“Everything dies. Bars, rock’n’roll, reputations—even the hard men who built them,” reads the post. “After 30 years of blood, grease, and bourbon, Twisted Spoke is grinding to a halt.”
An Invitation to Enjoy the Last of the Bar Before Doors Close
The post invites customers to its last four Whiskey Wednesdays and four rooftop brunches. As the 30-year journey of Twisted Spoke marks its end, locals have the opportunity to make their last ride to the bar.
“4 Whiskey Wednesdays left. 4 rooftop brunches in the blazing sun. That’s it. After that? We’ll be sitting in the wreckage, chain-smoking and scheming. Bad ideas never die.”
Whether another concept emerges remains to be seen, but Twisted Spoke’s legacy will be hard to match. Locals still have time to visit and be part of Twisted Spoke’s final chapter before it closes for good.
