“End game” in German is “Spiel beenden” Beautiful language, ain’t it?” Which is our way of telling you we are almost out of tasty Oktoberfest draft beers. So get in here tonight for $4 @HalfAcreBeer @SpitefulBrewing and @RevBrewChicago Oktoberfest drafts because soon?

Oh shit! Our bar’s jukebox has a Druid infestation!

Cubs clinched a post-season berth during a DAY BASEBALL game? Yeah we probably should’ve opened for that. We are not a well run organization. Onward…

🫡🇮🇹🇺🇸😎⚾️🍻🙌

OFFICIAL NISEI LOUNGE STATEMENT:

Well our last Oberon keg of 2025 kicked this week so time to make way for another tasty seasonal beverage… Bug welcome for @HalfAcreBeer Lagertown drafts! $6 all weekend. Don’t be fooled by the picture. It is an Oktoberfest not a pumpkin beer.

Now THAT was a weird Sunday at the bar. In other news we’re open at 5pm and it appears Oberon keg deliveries are done for the year so come drink up our last barrel of that tasty seasonal beverage. Open at 5pm.

Motherf*****! Who needs an angry blown lead beer?

On Red Line run 888. Yet Cubs have a day game today. Irony? @niseilounge.bsky.social

We stopped carrying sake many years ago because even with a Japanese language bar name people were skeptical of our sake quality. Fair. But when you can sell sake in cans with a kind of pissed off face logo on the black as our souls can? Gotta’ do it! Now serving…

Cal Ripken Jr. played in his 2,131st consecutive game 30 years ago today, breaking the record previously held by Lou Gehrig. These are the players that have appeared in every game this season. Will they play in all 162? 👀

The Cubs DAY BASEBALL is on @AppleTV but fret not Luddites…we get that too! We also got a stacked lineup of infused Malorts and $4 @HaymarketBeerDAY BASEBALL cans all day! Make haste to our Surly Confines!

Wrigley Field DAY BASEBALL…TODAY! So cancel your Zooms and take that Microsoft Teams “You’ve missed X meetings this week” reminder widget and jam it up Microsoft Clippy’s ass and get here for a dandy Friday afternoon! Open at 11am!

Open shortly for your Chicago Cubs vs the Unincorporated Cobb County Braves. $6 Oktoberfest drafts and lots of ice cold @oldstylebeer tallboys too. See you soon.

A well rounded brunch is crucial on a holiday weekend. And we’re here to help. Open now. $4 Oktoberfest drafts too.

We’re open. Come drink one of several tasty $4 Oktoberfest beers like that @HackerPschorrUS one right there being served…in a glass we must have swiped while in Wisconsin last month? Anyway…lots of great $4 draft deals all weekend. Make haste here with your patronage!

Got a case of the No Cubs baseball Mondays? Cheer up buttercups! Bevause not only are we open? We’re pouring $2 @oldstylebeer drafts all night! No need to thank us for the liquid largesse, give thanks instead to that nice clutch hitting NICO HOERNER! 👇🍻⚾️🙌

This Anaheim based reboot of “Eastbound and Down” looks promising!

Good morning! In lieu of DAY BASEBALL can we interest you in six different $4 Oktoberfest beers on draft? Yes, yes, very good. We thought so. See you starting at 11am-ish. Biergarten open too! @OffcolorBrewing @paulanerusa @SierraNevada @SpitefulBrewing and more!

Note to self: Paint something ironically whimsical on alley wall in case our rear end ever gets @everylotchicago.bsky.social famous too.

Watching a heavily bearded guy at Wrigley eat a Italian Beef that he keeps dipping in ketchup while sending beef fragments all over. This is like watching the Krill fight a Blue Whale to a draw. 🤯

Nomar jersey spotted today. The streak abides.
