Lottie's is a great neighborhood bar and a great Kansas Jayhawks bar. For Kansas games this place is packed but hands down to the wait staff, bartenders, and chefs. They took care of everybody in that bar and you didn't have to wait to long for drinks or food. The vibe is great and a great place to watch sports. read more

Waiting on food. This place is so chilled. Just what I needed. Great service and really good food. read more

Lottie's is a quintessential Bucktown bar. A true cornerstone of the community. A bar with a petting zoo may be off putting to some, but it gets the people going. They are known for their ever popular trucker hats if that suits your fancy. Stop in, pull up a seat or the bar, and cool off with a draft summer shady. read more

Lottie's Pub - Outside - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We inadvertently planned to visit Lotties on its 91st anniversary which meant the menu was limited and it was packed because 91 cent starts and sliders. Service was great considering how busy it was. We did have to sit outside and it was a bit chilly but nothing too terrible. However, it meant our food didn't stay warm more than a few minutes. I hate eating cold food that's supposed to be hot. We'll go back another day when we can sample more and enjoy some of the Chicago TV show vibes. read more

Cute vibe! Attentive server! My mom and family member wanted to come. Big Chicago med/fire/pd fans. Music was slightly loud for their geriatric ears but it was immaculate and just the vibe for a Friday night! We got some grilled chicken Sammie's and cheeseburgers. Delicious! Thanks a bunch! Keep killing it! read more

It's a simple place with simple drinks and simple food. I love their chips and salsa and giant pretzel. I wouldn't get any other food there besides the appetizers. The steak tacos had no seasoning whatsoever! Good places to grab affordable drinks and watch a game. read more

I like the dive atmosphere. The chicken tenders and waffle fries were great. The crowd is incredibly fratty. Not sure I'd go back. read more

This place is definitely worth visiting if you like beer, dive bars, and the show, Chicago Fire. The staff is super friendly and will be honest with their thoughts on what type of beer you may like. The decor is almost identical to the show, so it feels like you're having a drink on set. There's also a bunch of shops and restaurants nearby, and it's in the perfect hidden location just about a block from the main street. They even sell shirts and hats so don't forget to leave with some swag too! When I come back to visit Chicago, I'm definitely stopping by here again. read more

Cool place you got to like in the middle of a residential area of Bucktown. It's very much a neighborhood bar but it's welcoming for the most part. Lottie's has been around a long time. Has a couple parts to it. There's a basement and there's the upstairs with the bar and kitchen. A lot of bars like this are mostly visited by those in the neighborhood, and this is pretty much the case here. It's actually surrounded by housing so it's no surprise. This is a few blocks away from any other bar or restaurant, so it's basically the most convenient to get to. Now that more people know about it, there's bigger crowds. Of course that brings in more business though. It has lots of beer. Lots on tap and many more in bottles and cans, as well as plenty of liquor. It's about $8 for most typical cocktails. The food is basic bar stuff. A lot of fried items. It's $5 for chips and salsa. A bit of a Mexican menu. There's also quesadillas. If not wanting Mexican there's also wings and that kind of grub. They get food out pretty fast it seems. Good place to get away from most of the hipster stuff in Bucktown. It has much better prices. There's still plenty of those who come here and it's not as good as it was but it's still better than most places around it though. read more

Decent music, you really, really need more bathrooms. Single bathrooms at a bar is ridiculous

We were excited to snag a table and spend the afternoon on the patio today. Unfortunately we had to leave because nobody ever came to our table to take our order. 2 waitresses passed us multiple times over the 15-20 min we waited at our table to even get menus. Great location, and if only the service was even remotely adequate it would be a really fun spot. It's not though read more

Amazing service, Ashley was the best bartender ever; so sweet and informative of the bars history and culture. Food was both quick and delicious, we got cheese curds and waffle fries -- which sound basic, but the cooks whip up some incredible aiolis to go with them! Ambiance was every Chicago Fire watchers idea of what the atmosphere Molly's has would be in real life -- a nice neighborhood bar. 10/10 recommend stopping in! :) read more

Lottie's is one of Chicagos best bars and the food is awesome too. Love that they make any sandwich I ask them to in a wrap and the tots are always on point. The servers are all awesome too! read more

It's a dive bar. The service is good and it's a good place to be any night. It does get very busy. We ordered some tots to accompany our beers. Merchandise is available for purchase! read more

Really nice outdoor seating and service was quick and friendly. The hummus was surprisingly some of the best hummus I've ever had but the dark n stormy was possibly one of the worst drinks I've ever had. Absolutely trash and our waitress agreed it tastes like drinking straight up dishwater. Ended up giving the bar another try with an ammoetto sour which was slightly better but still not great. For a dive bar, I would have expected better drinks but the real highlights were the atmosphere and the hummus. read more

Don't bring anything of value in there bc it will get stolen. Had a backpack with AirPods, keys, and water bottle in it; after misplacing it, it just so happens they found it behind the bar after I searched for an hour and the backpack was empty. When asked why it was empty, they said that's how they found it. After using find my iPhone and tracking the AirPods, I had pretty good suspicion (someone going to Lottie's and a residence for multiple days) that an employee stole them. They even called the police on me bc that night and they said I couldn't look anymore even though the find my device location kept updating that it was still at the bar. read more

Always have a good time here. Foods good, good selection of beer, prices are fair. Haven't had any problems with their service. There's is nothing bad to say about this place. Solid corner bar with a good atmosphere, plenty of TVs to watch a game, and a long bar with plenty of space. Also offers outdoor seating! Check out out, you will have a good experience! read more

Great fun bar with good service and surprising good bar food. Not sure how long they've had arepas but they're steak was great!! I'll be back again next week... as usual read more

Fun neighborhood dive bar in Bucktown with an outdoor patio and a lower floor open on busier nights. If you come on the earlier side and order food, the sandwiches are great! read more

Staff couldn't be more rude. Awful service. Place is trash with glass broken everywhere. Stay away

Old bar. I guess it's featured on the show "Chicago Fire." Whoop de doo. It's a neighborhood bar. The city used to be full of them. Daley II had most shut down. You can see makeshift houses that were neighborhood bars at one point. Clearly this had zero impact on crime. Anyway, the place is nothing special. It's expensive. Six dollars for a bottle of beer. That's right. Six dollars for a beer. Tito's is even higher. Get someone else to pay the lease or the property taxes. Hey let's do a tax appeal with the assessor's office and the board of review. On the upside, the six dollar beer was cold. Bartenders were fine. Security people were very friendly. Chicken pizza was tasty. read more

Amazing neighborhood bar. I sat on the patio and had some food one night with Sammy was my waitress, she was amazing and even brought out water for my dog! Definitely would go back just because of her read more

Really cool and famous dive bar with great bar food and staff. Gets really crowded at night, but a wonderful place to go on a late afternoon with your kid. Love that place! Been going there for many years. While other places have come and gone, Lottie's Pub remains! That should tell you all you need to know! Great draft beer selection too. Always fun, and welcoming to all different kinds of people, plus "old guy" and family friendly. A truly Chicago tavern destination! read more

I've never had a worse experience like this before. This was the first time I've seen a male harass multiple women and people trying to get the bartenders help and was so disappointed. Such a let down from such a great place read more

Best damn bar in Chicago!! Our bartender Joshua is by far the most bad ass bartender I've ever met period. The vibe was amazing, music was on point, drinks were served up to perfection and everybody in there was friendly with my wife and I. Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Chicago or permanently residing there. Molly's by day. Lottie's by night baby! read more

Small place but there is some outdoor seating and a basement level that opens up when it's crowded. For some reason we usually only come here for their anniversary parties, which are insanely packed! But they do have a good food and drink selection at a decent price for the area. Service has always been quick, too! read more

As a woman, I don't get this often. Jerome was not only professional but so kind. I was a female by my self and I have never experienced such a kind human. The bar is great, energy is amazing, but Jerome is what made my night. Go there and see this amazing human. Tell him how patient, kind, and humble he is. Truly the best one could ask for read more

Stopped into this cool neighborhood bar as Chicago Fire fans. I half-expected them to be annoyed by more tourists in this otherwise local pub, but they were great and have merch available for sale as others have noted. Food was just OK but drinks and service were impeccable. read more

I felt like such a fan coming into Lottie's with phone in hand snapping all the pics. It was perfect. I love the Chicago series and had to come visit Mollys aka Lotties Pub. The gal at the bar was super sweet and answered all my questions about the place while she poured me up a shot. I wish I lived in the area because I would definitely be a regular. Great vibes and even better atmosphere. read more

Such a fun bar! The atmosphere is vibrant, decorated nicely and clean. Tons of door staff so you always feel safe and they are super nice. The food is pretty good too, especially the wings, they're huge! The music is fun and the floor gets packed on weekends, getting drinks is always pretty quick even with all the people they need to serve. They have a super cute outside area that is decorated for the season and even has a fire pit and tons of other fun things, too much to write, you should look them up. For sure such a fun place to be! read more

I will never ever step foot in this establishment again after what happened last night. First off, I would like to start off by saying that I've been to this establishment many many times to dine and enjoy their food hence I have been a frequent patron here. However after last night's event, it proves that racism still exist. As we all know Lottie is not a super large space when it starts to become jam pack with people so there is barely any space to stand/walk. TLDR; as a group of minority we got kicked out over the other group who threw a punch at me when I didn't even lay my hands on them. When we tried to talk to security, they said the manager told them to kick us out. read more
