Well it's definitely nothing fancy, but it is the Elder Statesman of post-game revelry. Bar staff is patient. So be patient w them.

Nisei Lounge is a historic "dive bar" near Wrigley Field and the oldest baseball bar in Wrigleyville, known for its great atmosphere and affordable drinks. This local favorite has a rich history, having been a gathering spot for post-WW II Japanese-Americans. Expect a "gritty feel" with pool tables and darts, and a lively vibe, especially during Cubs games. The bar is praised for its good service, friendly and open atmosphere, and community involvement, including an annual fundraiser for Make-A-Wish. With cold beer, peppermint Malört shots, and a nostalgic charm, Nisei Lounge is a must-visit spot for those looking for a unique Chicago experience. No trip to Wrigleyville is complete without a stop here.
