Visiting from Philly heard good things about this bar . From past reviews and locals , wanted to play pool the bartender said he only serves beer and not shots . Especially a green tea shot . What bartender doesn’t make a green tea shot , so I thought maybe because he closed in 30 min he said he don’t know how to make one anymore …… what does that even mean . So can you make it or not , then proceeds to tell me and my friend to go next door if I want that . I just wanted any shot . I just think you should avoid it at all cost and what’s with the Christmas decor not very jolly , if you ask me ,

The best bar in Wrigley and one of the best in Chicago.

The only thing this place is trying to be is Nisei Lounge, and it’s doing an amazing job.

Came in here around 11 or so on a Thursday night and had a great time. I tried the peppermint Malört shot they made which was the best shot of Malört I've ever had but still terrible, which I think is the idea. Being able to play darts was a lot of fun and the general atmosphere in the bar was friendly and open.

What Big Suz doesn’t realize is the unofficial motto is Nisei is “Try TO suck today” and darn them if it doesn’t work out perfectly (also she must’ve came during a Cubs game eh?)

Great hope in the wall that even has a back patio. Malort infusions, the Cubs, and an Old Style without breaking the bank. What's not to love?

If you wanna have a great night, get what I call a Nisei Red Eye - A shot of coffee malort chased by a red bull!

Very rude bartender. I went in there earlier to ask a simple question about an inquiry online I made. Just to confirm/ask if a reservation would be needed. To come in this Saturday for a little birthday get together. And he says he didn't handle the emails there. And that he wouldn't be there Saturday. Ok? Then says this is a dive bar no reservation is needed. I understand that and we've been there a few times. I just went in there to ask and make sure. Since many bars in Wrigleyville have things going on during the weekends or are busier right now. I was still being polite but as I was leaving he looked irritated and shrugged his shoulders. When I said ok all good. I understand working in the industry is often stressful. I work in the industry too. But it's not like I went in there when it was busy and asking them tons of questions. Which I wouldn't have done. I asked two questions and him being a rude prick was uncalled for. We definitely won't be back there. Thank you to the person who was polite in the email reply.
