Lottie's Pub

A website built out of pictures

Lottie's Pub is a corner bar at 1925 W Cortland Street, in Bucktown. Its website is active — there is a live customer-review competition on the front page and an events section — but the address, the opening hours and the contact details all appear as images rather than as text, which means nothing that reads a page can read them.

So this listing publishes no hours. The phone number above, 773-489-0738, and the street address both come from third-party listings rather than from the pub's own page; the address is corroborated by several sources and resolves correctly on a map, which is why it is here, and the hours are not, because a set of opening times is only useful if it is current.

Call before a trip with a dog, or look at the pub's own events page for what is on.

The dog claim, and how thin it is

Lottie's publishes nothing about dogs. One source puts them on the patio: a Chicago dog-friendly bar guide published in February 2026 and updated that June, which describes an umbrella-topped patio and lists the pub as welcoming dogs there.

That is a single source, and this listing is not going to dress it up as more. It is enough for an overview entry — a reader who knows that a patio exists and that one current guide reports dogs on it can decide for themselves — but it is not the pub's own word, and nobody should make a special journey on it without a phone call. For the contrast, Bucktown Pub a few streets away says it in its own voice: "We're also dog friendly, inside and out."

Why the patio is the part that matters

Chicago's code starts from a ban on animals entering any portion of a premises that holds a retail food establishment licence, and permits one exception: a designated outdoor dog-friendly area with its own street entrance, where a dog may have water but not food. A bar that does not hold that licence is not inside the framework at all — which is why an indoor welcome is possible at some Chicago taverns and at no restaurant. Both sections are quoted in Why a Chicago Bar Can Let Your Dog Inside and No Restaurant Can. This directory has not pulled licences for individual venues and makes no claim about Lottie's.

A Chicago patio is also seasonal unless someone says otherwise, and nobody has said otherwise here.

If you lose a dog in Chicago, Chicago Animal Care and Control at 2741 S Western Avenue is the city's open-admission shelter and the first place to check.
