Nisei Lounge
Ancient, updated and off the clustered Clark Street path, Nisei Lounge has been diving since 1951 and, despite new owners, remains a true Wrigley wonderland. Competitive prices and a complex crowd of habitués and stumblés give us more good on game day than twenty TV sports bars ever could. You might miss the ruckus and the grub (although you can order in), but a stellar beer selection and jukebox bring Nisei full circle.
