Crispy and tasty tendies
Michelle M.

We had a great experience at Lottie's and will definitely return. The (typical bar) food was really good. The place was loud af and packed when we were there, yet the service was great. It's a very fun spot

Great neighborhood bar, featured on Chicago Fire. Had a very local vibe to the place. Lots of beers on tap to choose from. They offer the Chicago Fire burger and the Chicago PD burger.

Looks just like Molly's, minus all the firefighters.

Great place to get a burger and drink. Lots of FD history here. And the staff was outstanding.

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.

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

Sliders and Cheese Curds
Linda P.

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.

Whiskey With Chips And Salsa

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.

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

Steak Arepa... surprising AWESOME!
Shahrooz E.

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

Very crowed at nights on the weekends. Probs would only go back maybe during the day. High noons were a little over priced

What's the parking situation near the pub.?

Limited as it's in the neighborhood but we had no trouble in the afternoon!

How safe is the neighborhood?

It's a really nice area

Kids ok for lunch?

Yes, but be cautious of any events going on the day of your visit. If your intention is to bring the family to see "Molly's" from Chicago Fire, it's best to plan ahead or risk being disappointed. Lottie's is a bar: and during Wisconsin Football,…

Warm and lovely British pub with delicious pies and efficient service…read more My dining partner and I tried the mushroom and kale and the rocking vegan pies. The mushroom and kale pie was nice and cheesy and the rocking vegan pie was more savoury, with a variety of vegetables and chickpeas as stuffing. The crust was neither too soft nor too crunchy. The highlight of the meal was the curry chips: potato wedges lightly fried with masala and curry leaves. The dipping sauce that came with the chips reminded me of tikka masala sauce, and paired beautifully with the chips. Dessert was toffee pudding: the caramel sauce that came with the pudding was delectable - the pudding itself was excellent and not overly sweet. We tried a variety of NA beers, and I was pleased with how many options they had. Service was quick, and we were well looked after. The ambiance is warm, with dim-ish lighting and a lot of dark wood. The restrooms were gorgeous - special shoutout to the lovely floral wallpaper. Overall, I highly recommend Pleasant House - the vibe is chill and understated and the food is stellar.

A lot of these were my first time trying, and everything was good, though I'm realizing pub food might not be my favorite cuisine. That said, I can see why people love it, and the food was solid across the board. The vibes were the real highlight for me. Cozy, warm, and just a fun place to hang out. I was also pleasantly surprised by how affordable everything was. We were way too full for dessert, but I'd happily come back to try the sticky toffee pudding!

This spot has been around forever, and as I'm visiting Chicago for the first time, I try to hit all…read morethe staples and iconic locations, so we went to Millers for lunch. Dark, grungy, feeling like a German Octoberfest Pub with beer signs and signed pictures on the walls, I love it. At first we were seated in a small table next to a family who was letting their kids run wild in the restaurant, slamming plates and glasses, so that wasn't going to fly. Asked the host to move us, he said no problem, and we got a much better table away from said family, and it was great, totally changed the experience for the better. Our server was friendly, helpful, talkative, and was prompt with delivering food. I got the Chicken Pot Pie, which wasn't like any other I've had, super creamy, nicely filled with trimmings, light bread crust, and warm to the soul. My girl got a Chicken Sandwich and she liked it as well, a filling lunch and a cozy spot. Love it.

The decor looks historic with dark wood walls, beautiful molding, and of course antique sports memorabilia. It is in Chicago after all!! The menu items that were highlighted was the prime rib, while supplies last and the ribs. I tried to go with the prime rib but at 7:30 it was sold out. The bartenders suggested the French dip sandwich with shaved prime rib but went with the ribs instead. Smoked daily the ribs were tender and moist with a very sweet homemade BBQ sauce. I prefer my sauce on the spicy side but it was delicious, the shrimp were fried and crispy, served with fresh cocktail sauce. I opted for the fries and side salad but were good. The Greek vinaigrette dressing was delicious. The bartender was super engaging and knowledgeable. I hat his signature Ole Fashion and a glass of cab from their list. Both were great You need to eat here!!

Checked out this hip looking brewery. It certainly is one of the many places to go to in The Loop…read more Industry Ales is a place that has a lot more than just beers, which is a good choice, because there's all kinds of people who crowd in and want to have fun times. Amazing that fun isn't always beers and chugging. The food is actually good and can be talked about in reviews because some people actually come here to eat, which tells you how they actually have a kitchen. Believe everything is good here but we came for the beers of course. It's certainly the main product made here so why wouldn't it be important. They make more than you can believe which is impressive because there's all kinds of crowds who pass through. For sure everyone wants beer. It's $6 a pint at happy hour. Pretty great for craft beers compared to lots of places it seems. Best one we got was the Bucket Hat. This is a Belgian style witbier. Has notes of bubble gum, coriander, and orange. The food isn't an afterthought so get some of that. It's about $18 for a burger. Vegans have options. Certainly one of these is the Veggie Burger. This is an amazing thing with a spinach patty topped with chipotle tomato marmalade, cremini mushrooms, mixed greens, pickled red onions, and sweet potatoes. All on a fluffy ciabatta bun. The rest of the menu contains meaty stuff. For sure it feels like a place for the hipsters but it's pretty great for anyone. It's located at the intersection of Jackson and Wabash close to lots of fun. The brewery has food that's better than expected but many other things about this kind of stuff are typical.

My husband and I came with our daughter here and we were blown away. The atmosphere is really cool…read more We really loved the vibes and the decor.

We were there on Friday, so the fish and chips were all-you-can-eat. So crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside. So yummy. The chips were crispy and paired perfectly with the fish splashed with the malt vinegar. The green peas were good, but my favorite was the Stovies. If you've never had proper Stovies, this is your chance to try them. Potatoes and onions with bits of roast kind of like mashed potatoes or a very thick stew. So yummy. They also have an extensive drink menu.

Whiskey fans, you'll love the huge selection along with the impressive beer selection. Yelp should really hype this as a whiskey bar, too. It more than qualifies. The cuisine is phenomenal. Definitely a place to bring a large party on your first visit, so you can sample a multitude of wonderful creations. Pro Tip: if you can tolerate a large quantity of fish, visit on a Wednesday for their AYCE Fish & Chips. I've had many hum drum AYCE dinners that are drab and only fill you up. Not this one. It's a great meal and a great deal. The Shepherd's Pie was fabulous, as was the Bangers and Mash. They've created a Haggis Burger that has to appease Americans, yet, still be haggis. A tall order since most would hate "true" haggis. Fear not, it's not your grandfather's haggis, it is a tasty burger. The fries were great but I'd recommend the Tattie Skins. We tasted so many different malts it was hard to pick a favourite. No foolin' they had island malts, highland malts, speyside and even a couple from the lowlands. Easy to spend over two hours in this public house. We did. Can't wait to get back to this town. This is a must! 02/26

So enGAGEing…read more.. After walking around Chicago Loop area and all the selfies at The Cloud Gate in Millennium Park taking a break would be nice as that was a great highlight of my time in Chicago which wasn't close to being over yet and having it right across from the park it was very convenient and a great spot that gave it the tavern/gastropub vibe. With the timing they were also celebrating Oktoberfest as well with Bratwurst and Bavarian Pretzel I opted for a Half Sandwich and Soup of the Day which was Pumpkin and what an absolute comforting bite even with the hotdog I had earlier and my Salmon BLT sandwich was a winner for sure. Everyone's dish looks absolutely amazing along with the service. It was great and I am so glad that we made this stop as it seems to have something for everyone to enjoy at a great price. Highly recommended especially with a lot of walking to give this place a try that's right across from Millennium Park. Thank you!

My travel partner and I shared the sandwich and boy! was that a good decision because it was a lot of food to have for a lunch on the run Service was great. Food was good. Yup! Place to go if you're hanging around the Millennium Park or DT Chicago area.....
