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.- 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.
Dana JensenSeptember 29, 2014The Malort-arita is oddly good tasting. Friendly bartenders, popcorn, darts, and less annoying than 99% of Wrigleyville.
Friendliest bartenders, board games, always a good deal, and always something interesting happening!
Melissa BlackAugust 23, 2014Cool, dive atmosphere!! Friendly bartender and fellow drinkers were fun.
Josh ClancyApril 27, 2013Only 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.
- Get a shot of Malort from Dougie, you'll mostly not regret it.
P SNovember 24, 2012Only bar that carries Pac12 channel. During Oregon v Oregon State game it's like an episode of Portlandia in here.
Better than average juke, even now that they have Touchtunes.
Evan JacksonMarch 6, 2011The alcohol is watered down. Seriously, I guarantee they add water to their hard liquor bottles.

"Awesome spot. Loved the beer selection. Personal fav is the draft Negra Modelo. Food is great too: cheese curds come with buffalo ranch dressing (yum) & the buffalo chicken quesadillas are great."

"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! :-)"
