Previewed on Mar. 9, 2004 as 'Nattspil' while Chris Berge and a group of artists were still renovating the former Little Village Café / Duniya space; open 'about a month' before May 6, 2004 with no sign, no phone and cash only; 4:30 p.m. to bar time; 'primarily bar' with a brick oven, a DJ booth and pizzas at about $7.
Spelling: the name (Norwegian 'night play') appeared both as 'Nattspil' (WSJ preview Mar. 2004, 2004 listings, Daily Cardinal, the Facebook page and nattspil.com) and as 'Natt Spil' (WSJ and CT features 2004–2020, the stone above the oven); the corporation is Natt Spiel, Inc. The owners said having more than one spelling 'fits perfectly with what this place is all about'.
