I’ve been going to this bar for a few years now and from day one I was welcomed with open arms, I love all that bartenders that work there and the manager. I always have a great time with lots of laughs and memories to last a lifetime. Also shout out to the karaoke djs , they always make sure everyone has a good time, and if you stay long enough you might get a chance to hear the bartender sing a song or 2.

Just reading the establishment’s responses to some of the negative reviews, I’ve decided this is my kinda place. Keep it savage. I’m on my way!

If you enjoy having a drink with the locals of Lisle, Illinois as I do myself, this is your place. Nell's has become one of most well-known speak easies to visit in Lisle, Illinois. My man's brother remembers his grandfather taking him there when he was young, regularly. That's pretty strong. I look forward to going back there once again to see family and friends.

Went here after dinner so my wife could sing some karaoke. Bartender was hilarious, people overall were really cool, totally dig this place. Karaoke sound wasn't great, but not a huge deal breaker. Great drive bar with good people and decent beers, what's not to like? We plan on heading back this weekend, as hard to find any karaoke places these days 😉

First Time at Nels Old Time Inn on Thanksgiving to watch the Chicago Bears.

Doesn’t look like much from the outside but it’s the total opposite in the inside!

Very cozy and well lit interior serving quality drinks at a reasonable price!

The bartender is very outgoing and makes sure all the guests are attended to.

Definitely recommend this bar to all locals for a good time!
