Nisei Lounge

Nisei Lounge The Facebook home of the oldest bar in Wrigleyville. We're more fun in person. Wrigleyville's oldest tavern, established at 3439 North Sheffield in 1951.
(538)

A classic Chicago neighborhood dive bar with an excellent selection of retro beers, craft beers, and cocktails, along with a good pool table, a great jukebox, and free darts and board games for customers. Always open at least 2 hours before every Cubs home game. Otherwise usually around 5pm daily, unless there's good football, we open earlier for that in the fall. Otherwise? Open 363 days a year.

We are THRILLED to announce that for a FIFTEENTH straight year we will try to be a popular (and other almost as fine Ohio colleges and universities) football bar.

While we will almost inevitably fail in this (again) we owe it to O-H-I-O šŸˆ to try. See you 11am Saturday!

In case of Sunday Night Baseball rain delay we stand ready to help.

Also we really appreciated ā€˜s career (truly) even as a Cubs nemesis. He played hard (even when lost out in left field), and was always fun to watch and a good intetview.

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the iconic Nisei Lounge in Chicago’s Wrigleyville, we brewed a special american pale ale named…wait for it…Nisei Lounge 75th American Pale Ale! It’s 5.3% ABV and loaded with a metric sh*t ton of Simcoe hops with a nice balance of Amarillo hops for balance of fruit and bitterness. Get it on draft and in cans in both locations and in cans at Nisei. They be old, and we be loving them.
