My favorite bar in Chicago. Bartenders great, drinks cheap , vibe genuine. I've never left without making friends. Nisei is a community. A community deeply, deeply rooted in Malört .

Virginia Thomas

My favorite bar in Wrigleyville. Grab a craft beer (at a decent price) and a shot of Malört and enjoy. Always get the Malört  infusion.

The Malort-arita is oddly good tasting. Friendly bartenders , popcorn , darts , and less annoying than 99% of Wrigleyville.

Melissa Black

Cool, dive atmosphere!! Friendly bartender and fellow drinkers were fun.

Shanna Griffus

Friendliest bartenders , board games , always a good deal , and always something interesting happening!

Only been here once, but it had a really great/friendly atmosphere. I appreciated that it wasn't super crowded and I could actually talk to the people I was with.

Say hi to Lou! Best bartender in Chicago!

Parker Mynchenberg

Get a shot of Malort from Dougie, you'll mostly not regret it.

Matt Lindner

Malort shots. Take them if you dare

Only bar that carries Pac12 channel. During Oregon v Oregon State game it's like an episode of Portlandia in here.

The alcohol is watered down. Seriously, I guarantee they add water to their hard liquor bottles.

Great jukebox, people, and smoke. This place is a time warp in a great way. When bars were bars, not libraries. $.75 hard boiled eggs. Get in on that! :-) - Marty Merida
