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! :)

Easy 5 stars - Cold beers, great service, and pet friendly patio. We had a group of 5 + a dog outside and they took great care of us. A little stuffy indoors past 9-10 on weekends, but patio vibes are great.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
