"Nisei is Wrigleyville’s oldest tavern (it opened in 1951). And this dive bar holdout in a neighborhood primarily full of sports bars has no signs of slowing down—you can often find longtime regulars grabbing their unofficial assigned seat at the bar or some first-timers playing pool. The only things you’ll find here are booze and beer nuts, but they’re BYOF, so feel free to bring in food from nearby places like Cozy Noodles, or Bolivar and Lincoln." - john ringor, adrian kane
