Nisei Lounge
@niseilounge
Chicago’s oldest baseball bar.
Before anyone asks if there will be a special Malort infusion for our Oktoberfest beer kickoff…Ja, und wir haben Gewalt gewählt!
If a DIY banner reference to a 35 year old U2 album won’t bring young people in to slam delicious Oktoberfest beers on…checks notes…August 7th… we give up! Just kidding. We never give up. We’re exhausting that way. Open at 1:20pm. Lederhosen encouraged but not required.
Un-fucking-real Cubs 9th inning game tying homer DAY BASEBALL. TEXTBOOK! #GoCubsGo
Go for the Gusto…one last time with us as we offer our last @SchlitzBrewing tallboys for your discerning palate’s DAY BASEBALL enjoyment. One case for sale today, one more (our last) for sale tomorrow and that’s all she wrote for the beer that made Milwaukee famous here.
This week we salute Dodgers radio voice Rick Monday, one of the greatest players ever to don both Cubs and Dodgers jerseys. Grab a $10 red, white, and blue bedecked boilermaker and toast the all time first overall MLB draft pick on a heckuva career and a life in baseball.🏟️⚾️🇺🇸🔥🏃🏻♂️🙌🍻
George Costanza spent a decade trying to take the Yankees dynasty down from the inside. This is the least we can do.
Our fan favorite DAY BASEBALL pilsner is going, going, (almost as) gone as a PCA dinger. But fret not fans! We just got a fresh delivery of our Haymarket 75th Anniversary Extra Pale Ale which is also eminently chuggable! So order one next time you’re in! #Nisei75
We’re open. Grab a rain poncho and get over here for this week’s $4 drink specials including @offcolorbrewing.bsky.social Apex Predator drafts. Because booing the Cardinals on TV can make for a mighty thirst you need to slake…affordably. #NiseiCares
The Cardinals return to Chicago so that means in honor of two team star Jim Edmonds (the 2nd greatest Cubinal) we’ve tapped a keg of @maplewoodbeer Juice Jorts! Open soon, come enjoy one! (Wearing of your own jorts not required, actively discouraged in fact). #NiseiFacts
Guy next to Internet Dad asking him during top 9th how many homers Cubs hit today… “A shit ton.” “How many?” “Lots. Many. A SHIT ton.” Anyway here’s Internet Dad’s final Cubs scorecard if you want to add them up. Presented by Staples, a pen he swiped from the Westin Times Square, and DAY BASEBALL!
Just here for DAY BASEBALL and booing the Mets! And we’re just about outta’ daylight!
Yes, we are back on our 100 bottles of Malort on the wall bullshit. Starting NOW! Hurry on up to the Draftkings sportsbook while you still can to wager on how long it will last!
Our Nisei Lounge condolences to the Sianis and Billy Goat Tavern families on the passing of the legendary Sam Sianis. May his memory be a blessing. He was the Michael Jordan of Chicago bar owners, the all time Chicago Tavern G.O.A.T. 🇬🇷🇺🇸🐐🍻🫡😢
DAY BASEBALL RICK MONDAY COLD BEER AMERICA #NiseiFacts @obvious_shirts style. Thank you Rick Monday on the 50th Anniversary weekend of you star spangled save!
We’re mostly here just to boo the Mets. They tried to kill Santo. Twice. Once by black cat attack. Once by toupee flambé at Shea. Never forget. Never forgive.
Preperations for visiting Phillies and Mets fans are well underway at #NiseiLabs
New April beer specials! Yeah we actually raised the price of one of them…because Internet Dad is a stinker! Still good deals though!
For fairly obvious Wrigleyville reasons no darts or pool until late tonight, if then. Please don’t ask.
Screw it. We are too excited to wait until 2pm to announce this! Ladies and gentlemen of DAY BASEBALL your pleas and imprecations have been answered! The Nisei Lounge L purging plunging penguins are BACK for the 2026 season! Let’s go Opening Day L purging plunging lads!
Middle aged first time Nisei visitor guy advising his lady friends “This is not the kind of bar you want to order prosecco in! Who knows how long it has been open!” Sir! We’re Nisei Lounge! We got the finest little bottles of fine prosecco for all the fine ladies! #NiseiCares
The toast at the bar this first weekend of March Madness 2026 is “May Sister Jean bless and keep us”. Pass it on. She was a good one. RIP. (All credit to Riley for reminding Internet Dad of our pious Sister Jean duty)
High functioning bar forgot to advertise our green 75th anniversary ☘️ shirts from @obviousshirts.bsky.social for sale yesterday. We are not a well run organization. Nonetheless get yours at the bar today and tomorrow! $30 including tax and oh so soft & stylish!
Open by 11am. In honor of St Patrick’s Day we will NOT be offering pool or darts at the bar all day Saturday. #NiseiCares
