About Tottenham Hotspur Chicago
About Us
Tottenham Hotspur Chicago, Chicago Spurs’ official name, was founded in 2006 with about 10 people. After watching at a few different bars for a few years in Chicago, the club settled on the home pub of The Atlantic Bar & Grill in Lincoln Square around 2010.
Ever since, Chicago Spurs has been Tottenham Hotspur’s Official Supporters Club (OSC) for Tottenham supporters in the Chicagoland area.
We have a sister OSC, Crystal Lake Spurs, out in the northwestern suburbs if you are ever around, and some satellite Chicago Spurs fans have been watching in the northern suburbs in Highland Park at Steep Ravine Brewery.
If you are seeking to create an OSC in the suburbs, please let us know and we’ll connect you with the right people!
Our History
With a group of a few expats plus some Chicago-based lovers of Tottenham in tow, Chicago Spurs was founded in 2006. Twenty years back, the crew had small but mighty numbers, and sought to find a true home base as the transient group would meet together at a few bars across the city over the course of a few years.
Once Chicago Spurs made The Atlantic home, we have played host to Tottenham Hotspur once in 2014 when the club played the Chicago Fire – and during that trip, Chicago Spurs was lucky enough to welcome Tottenham legends Ledley King and Steffen Freund for a Q&A session. We also have introduced new members into the club, welcoming expats and those vacationing in our fine city to the Chicago Spurs atmosphere.
We also hosted Ledley King in April 2024 for a Q&A session for a group of 60+ supporters who were able to do a meet and greet with the King, in addition to welcoming a slew of new supporters to Chicago Spurs after NBC Premier League Mornings' hosted from Lincoln Park in Chicago.
Two of the best moments in Chicago Spurs history were thrilling: we've been able to watch our club make it to the Champions League Final after an exhilarating two-leg semifinal against Ajax that saw The Atlantic as busy as it ever has been... well, up until the Europa League win(!), which saw our home be as exuberant and packed as ever, culminating with a trophy lift by then-Captain Son Heung-Min.
From Harry Redknapp’s days to Ange Postecoglou’s hand guiding the team and winning the 2025 Europa League, Chicago Spurs at The Atlantic continue to thrive and make our way forward.
As one of the oldest Tottenham OSCs in the US, we pride ourselves in knowing that our best days are ahead of us, thanks in part to the hard work and dedication that has been built up from the early days.
