chippers tavern is the go-to spot for wings in Erie. they have so many different flavors of wings to choose from (all being amazing) and have tasty appetizer. the service is so great the bartender makes great drinks and the lady who takes my order every time is always so sweet. The vibe of the place is so nice everyone is always happy and having a good time. they've got a jukebox which is a huge plus. 5 stars I would highly recommend eating here read more

I'm writing about the service at this spot. I went here as a tourist with my partner who loves wings but the bartender has a real chip on her shoulder. When we ordered a bloody mary, she asked us what that was. When we ordered blue cheese dip, she asked us what we meant. When the order she put in came out wrong, she argued with me, saying we did not order correctly. When I tried to clarify, she doubled down and blamed us, and refused to problem solve. I don't know what her problem is, but I've had better service at a gas station. I walked out without an appetite. Who owns this spot? Whoever manages this place needs to teach proper service if they want out of towners to spend money here. Ambiance was also problematic. They were power washing the exterior which was noisy and water was splashing on me at the table inside. Also, the bloody mary I ordered does not look like the photo here. She poured the last bit out of a bottle and when it wasn't enough, instead of opening another mix, she added more ice. So service is not only rude but dishonest, subpar and disrespectful. read more

Great experience cold drinks and the wings were fantastic. Just ask the bartender Woodsie for recommendations on the flavors. Check it out. It's a lot more welcoming since the last time I was in there over 30 years ago. I will definitely return.. read more

Bar food was good, had a burger and fries. Drinks/Beer served cold. Very limited seating. read more

Chippers Tavern - Bloody Mary - Chicken Wings Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

See all

We went to Chippers because we heard they had great wings. Upon arrival we were not greeted by any staff or even recognized as customers. Felt invisible. After about 10 minutes I went up to the bar and asked if I could order there. She replied "if you want to". We ordered drinks and appetizers. The bartender/waitress and cook delivered these to our table. We asked if we could order wings she replied yes but after taking 2 of our parties orders she said "I can't leave the bar unattended you can order at the little window over there". I went to the window to order and the cook was there. I asked to order 10 buffalo wings all flats and the cooks reply was "we don't do that here. What makes you think we do?" he proceeded to point to a menu stating "this is our menu and what we have". I then asked if they had a chicken tender and fries meal and his reply was "can't you read?" And again pointed to the menu stating "you can order the tenders and a small or large order of fries". At this point I said never mind to the cook and proceeded to ask for my check. Very rude employees. Not one but two of them. I would never recommend Chippers to anyone nor go again. read more

Definitely isn't what it used to be 7/8 years ago. You still have the afternoon regulars that love to drop N bombs. You still have that redhead that bitches about being there the entire time she's there. Same old lazy night time Bartender that isn't happy unless you're as miserable as he is. You got a new woman "no lady" who's tweaked out and jumpy but can fetch a beer in less than 10 minutes. Looking in the kitchen I see sanitation hasn't changed. With all that something doesn't feel right anymore. I honestly didn't think new owners could care less or maybe just as inept as the old ones but with that I am impressed. Don't go patting yourselves on the back to fast. The recent influx of business is only due to the lack of options in that part of town. Those wing recipes aren't your own and have been made by mutants with fewer brain cells than morals. Everyone that's ever worked there has them and readily shared them. I got the dill dip recipe from a dip behind the bar last month. Hope you didn't sink your life savings into the place because any minute someone could throw up a liquor license and put you out of business with you helping them. Last week we sat there. No drinks. Made direct eye contact with the big guy, and nothing. That's fine. We got up and got our own. I hope the 3 people at the bar tip well because I won't. I also won't be back. read more

Used to be a darkly lit hole in the wall that played country music. Now it's diverse, equitable and inclusive. And it's well lit now. If your eyes linger too long on the stunning and brave female couple, you may get an earful. I love it. read more

Best wings and friendly environment. I am a cook in the kitchen on weekends and I can say the customers have nothing but good things to say about the food and the service. Chippers is a place where everyone feels welcomed and Respected. Family friendly/kid friendly. Tons of food options and Don't forget to try the homemade house dip ! Highly recommend for casual drinks, Saturdays are the funnest ( try the Cajun cheese fries ) read more

Chippers Tavern - Dining room, where we prefer children to be at. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

No seating available. We stood at the door 10 minutes and were never acknowledged. We left in disgust.

Decided to try one last time. They really suck wings dry. Salty. And. Crap. Will never return

Friendly people. Pretty solid tasting wings, with over 75 different flavors. About $12 for 10 wings.

This place is like if the Death Star was from Mississippi. I want to put "blimp" as my ethnicity on documents after I eat here, as it's wings are menancingly delicious and have caused at least 50 people to become diabetics. It is externally simplistic, with plastic green diamond tablecloth, lit up beer signs, a small, simple bar. The service is incredible, it is a family run business with a tight nit clientile. I have not been there in years and I miss it ever so. Check out Chippers Tavern. read more

There's just something about Chippers: the divey small two-rooms with a bar that seats no more than eight. The simplicity of the beer menu, stubbornly resisting the craft movement. The smell, which reminds one of the home of a friend we all had growing up. When I say it doesn't LOOK like much, well... you'll understand what I mean when you see it. But its an old school neighborhood dive bar with a friendly and inviting staff and, oh yeah... did I mention they have some of the best chicken wings in Erie? There's dozens of flavors, most of which are worth trying. If you really want a recommendation, try my favorite, the Plizards, for something spicy, sloppy, and tasty. A dozen go for a little over $9, which is a bit pricey, but becoming the new norm (I miss you $3 for dozen wings days). You can't call yourself a wing lover of you haven't at least tried Chippers. read more

The Original, and still best, home of Chicken Wings, in Erie. The coldest - and cheapest - beer, cheapest liquor, down to earth, shot-and-a-beer taverns you'll ever see. Award winning wings, you gotta try 'em!!! read more

Great dive! Went there on a whim because I was in the mood for wings and I heard they were good. They were great! Large wings. Nice flavor selection. Cold beer. Good service. Decent prices. It's a dive...don't judge, just enjoy it. read more

Best wings in town. Warning when it says hot And spicy. Be warned they are. Good wing recipies all around. Drink prices are a bit high but not cornerstone high. Beer in general is competitive. A moderate selection. Not wide spread just the favorites. Customer service is good. read more

Small little bar with a large choice of drinks and a great wing menu. Be the hidden gem of the place is the best bar tender Doug !

As long as I have lived near this place I never had an opportunity to try their wings until this past Super Bowl. I heard good I heard bad but I'll tell you this I am a wing connoisseur. Who isn't? but they hands-down have some of the best wings I have tried in the city. So many flavors I couldn't even attempt to name them. Very good wings. Nice people as well! read more

If you like slow service, over cooked and over priced food this place is for you! Wings were scrawny and fries were frozen. I will never go back. read more

Been here many times and can't say a bad thing about the wings-they really are the best! But our experience tonight was just aggravating. Waited over an hour without the server even checking back as our drinks sat empty and we literally only ordered 2 dozen wings. I think I could have let it go if she at least acknowledged us once after placing our order and obviously waiting a long time but we were ignored as others around us received refills at least. I delayed letting my husband complain as long as I could but then I had to say something and said we were going to just pay for our drinks and leave. Still received no apology. No explanation for the wait (I've been a server and if I had to guess she forgot to put ours in right away after taking a couple orders at one time). No nothing. Again, their wings are EXCELLENT and on every other occasion the lackluster service was just something you dealt with, but we will not deal again. read more
