Twenty Second Tailgate

Food • Drinks • Contests • Community

We put the spotlight on the local businesses & causes that make Berks County worth talking about.

Apparently another influencer with poor taste said Spectators Bar & Grill in Kutztown wasn’t good…

So obviously, I had to check it out. 😂

69 wing flavors. We tried 4:
🍗 French Toast — maple, bacon & powdered sugar. Dessert wing without the heavy feeling. SAY LESS.
🍗 The General — basically General Tso’s, but better.
🍗 Spectators — spicy garlic, just enough heat and garlic.
🍗 Bees Knees — sweet, savory, salty… the whole damn package.

Zero ranch needed. That says a lot.

Mondays = all-you-can-eat wings for $22.99 + a b**r.

And the Garage Bar? Shuffleboard, games, TVs, Connect Four and plenty of seating. Perfect local hangout.

But what really gets the Twenty Second Tailgate stamp of approval is how much these guys support the community — Dine & Donates, sponsorships, benefits and more.

Good food. Good people. Local supporting local.

We’ll absolutely be back.

Taco wings and PB&J wings… we’re coming for you. 👀

And to that other influencer…

Thanks for sending us there. 😂

Round 2 is coming in HOT... Get it?

Comment/tag these spots so I don't get the "we didn't know we were up" again from some of them... We have almost 8k followers - let's hit that 10k and I'll do another giveaway...

Voting starts Friday and runs through Monday.
We’ve got 2 matchups every day, so PAY ATTENTION and make sure you vote in BOTH matchups each day.

Here’s what we’ve got:

FRIDAY — SEPTEMBER 11
🍗 The Pike Cafe vs Brick House Pub
🍗 Ktown Pub Taphouse/BBQ vs Liberty Tap Room/Ale House

SATURDAY — SEPTEMBER 12
🍗 Bertie’s Inn vs The Westy

It’ll also make these matchups easier for YOU to share and get your people involved.*****

And PLEASE invite your friends to follow Twenty Second Tailgate.

The more people we have voting, sharing and getting involved, the bigger this thing gets — and the more eyes we put on every local business in this bracket.

That’s the whole damn point.

The Wing Bracket is rolling, but once we finish we’re going after PIZZA. So share this post to the the word out...

We need the 32 best locally owned pizza spots in Berks County.

And before everybody starts crying about who got left out, here are the rules:

• Locally owned. No chains.
• Multiple locations? Fine. They count as ONE spot.
• We need 32. If we get more we will sort through and narrow it down.
• Once we have 32 we will sort them into the bracket (not fully random we learned our lesson from the wing challenge).

So start nominating.

And don’t just throw the name in the comments and call it a day. TAG THE PIZZERIA. Send them this post. Message them. Tell them when you’re standing there ordering a large pie.

Get the damn message to them.

Because when this bracket comes out, I don't want to hear from businesses and their following:

“Wait, we could’ve been in it? We didn’t know!”

BS. 😂

You know now.

So who are the 32 best pizza spots in Berks?

Drop them below. Let’s see who belongs in the bracket.

Wing champ first.

Then we settle the pizza debate.

People really out here complaining that we use AI… 😂

And honestly? I don’t give a cluck. 🐔

We’re here to have fun, get local businesses some damn exposure, and give YOU guys a say in who’s the Best of Berks.

Because at the end of the day, we’re the hosts of the TRUE Best of Berks contest — the Best of Berks Bracket Challenge. No judges sitting in a room. No secret panel. No “expert” picking the winners.

YOU vote. YOU decide.

So stay tuned… we’re getting closer to finding out who takes home the title of Best Wings in Berks 🏆🔥

And trust me… the wings are just the beginning. We’ve got some BIG brackets coming next. 👀

Local Supporting Local. Always.
