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.

Our Nisei Lounge condolences to the Sianis and families on the passing of the legendary Sam Sianis. May his memory be a blessing.

He was the Michael Jordan of Chicago bar owners, the all time Chicago Tavern G.O.A.T. 🇬🇷🇺🇸🐐🍻🫡😢

That’s fun. ⚾️
