Historic Lottie's Pub Celebrates 90 Years of Community Spirit in Bucktown
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Bucktown ·
One of Bucktown's most cherished establishments, Lottie's Pub, is celebrating a remarkable milestone this December as it marks 90 years of serving the neighborhood. The iconic corner bar, described by owner Mark Domitrovich as 'a dying breed in the middle of the neighborhood,' has survived countless changes in the area while maintaining its status as a community gathering place since 1935.
The anniversary celebration, scheduled for Saturday, December 7, will feature special pricing on select drinks, commemorative merchandise, and live music throughout the day. Longtime patrons and newcomers alike are invited to raise a glass to nine decades of memories at the historic establishment, which has become famous beyond Chicago as the filming location for Molly's Bar in the hit NBC series 'Chicago Fire.'
Neighbors are encouraged to share their favorite Lottie's memories on social media using the hashtag #Lotties90 or bring photos from past visits to add to the community collage being created for the occasion. The celebration reinforces the importance of preserving neighborhood institutions that connect Bucktown's colorful past with its vibrant present.
