Biker Bar Near SoMo. Get out your leathers!

Actually it's not THAT kind of a bar, it's supposedly intended for us lycra-wearing types. Here's the email:

Hey man thought you would be interested. Scabbaged from my motorcycle forum:


Spokes! (The Restaurant/Bar)
Spokes is coming soon!!!

For those of you who haven't heard, a fellow biker (bicycle biker) has been working to open up a bar and restaurant near Central and Dobbins. For those of you familiar with the area, this is the quaint little building on the west side of Central, south of the Coyoacan restarant and immediately north of the Circle K on the corner of Central and Dobbins. A great location for mountain bikers and roadies finishing off rides at South Mountain.

Anyway, I just wanted to give y'all a heads-up that Spokes will be opening soon. I'll try and set up a beer night when the doors officially open. Spread the word! It's going to be a pretty bitchin' little place. Lots of cool metal work in there, including a custom sign that he'll hopefully be hanging outside soon...


Later bro…hope you are having fun in CO….I wish I was with you instead of here.
I’m bored!

Looks interesting!! It's a bit on the wrong side of SoMo for me, but sh!t ... if the beer's cold and food's hot, I'll change my ways. If and when I find out the opening date, I'll post it here. Maybe a group ride & pint is in order.

That sounds about where Los Dos Molinos is (or was- haven't been down that way in a while). If that's the case it is where Tom Mix's house was in Phoenix.

At any rate, there are several different ways to get there via trails and you can always take the canal back if the "slosh" factor gets a bit on the high side.

A group ride is definitely in order!

Sounds like trouble...

Sounds like a great before and after hangout when your shuttling SoMo DH trails.

the guy that is opening this place is pretty cool, he bought a 10,000 dollar livestrong trek road bike from us just to show in the bar.

[macko]

any idea of when opening day will be?

[stinkyboy]

Did this place ever open?

Did this place ever open?

Yeah it did and it's supposed to be a pretty cool spot. I still haven't made it there. Maybe I'll try to hit it up over the weekend after a ride come back witha report.

Wanna ride down? Haven't been through Lil' Mexico in awhile.

Rolled down to Spokes on saturday for a couple drinks. A few bikes on the wall, crank arms for door handles, a mixed crowd of mountain and road bikers coexisting in harmony, great menu and a very cool bartender named Mike leads me to a rating of http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a344/stinkyboy/Smilies/5stars.gif

Do yourself a favor and stop in.

What are the hour of operation? Also, does anybody have the phone number. Is there a dress code like spandex and the little italian hat with the visor flipped up? I'm thinking of going there this week if they are open for lunch.

[stinkyboy]

I asked about the hours at night and if there is no one there, they will close. There was talk of a regular night ride down there this summer.

I'm sure they're open fer lunch.

The second visit:

A few monkeys rolled National sunday and hit Spokes after. Marksee and Screech were less impressed with the joint. Crazy Jeff got drunk very fast, but seemed to enjoy his biscuits and gravy. We all enjoyed the cute and chatty bartender.

She smelled like Biscuits and gravy!:drool:
