Our Story

Pioneer Tavern Group has been at the forefront of the Chicago hospitality, bar and nightlife scene since acquiring Lottie's Pub in 2002. The Pioneer team has successfully developed three seemingly reserved locations into destination establishments, each recognized for its unique concept.  

All venues are ideal for grabbing drinks and dinner with friends, viewing sports games or hosting a private event.

Lotties

Located in Bucktown, one of Chicago’s most celebrated landmark pubs since 1934. Serving a wide variety of beer, wine and spirits from the original wood and glass coolers, the rich history and ambiance encapsulate a classic Chicago neighborhood Tavern.  Regulars, locals and out of towners of all ages gather here to watch their favorite sports team on one of the many televisions, eat pizza, sip cocktails on our dog friendly patio, dance the night away or host a party in our private downstairs party room.
