1734 W Division St
Chicago, IL 60622
The Zakopane Lounge, located at 1734 West Division Street in Chicago, is a historic tavern recognized for its connection to polka music and cultural heritage, having hosted iconic performances like Li'l Wally's concert with The Polkaholics. Once part of a lively strip known as Polish Broadway, it stands as the last remaining Polish bar in the area, a testament to the neighborhood's rich musical legacy.
Despite its welcoming spirit, newcomers may find the atmosphere a bit intimidating, reminiscent of its lively past with numerous honky tonks lining the street over 60 years ago. The lounge's location also adds a layer of local charm, being situated across from the spot where Li'l Wally launched his career.
