Ottobar

Came here from Jersey for the Indigo De Souza concert and it was amazing!! The venue was small and intimate and everyone who works here is so sweet! Our bartender Grant was very efficient and kind! Made the best drinks all night! Also shoutout to Randy (stage name “Candy”) for also having such great energy! Overall, the entire experience was memorable, comfortable, and easy-going. Highly recommend for a chill and exciting night out! The music in the bar/club upstairs was fire and the vibe was perfect! Whether you are in town or from out-of-town definitely check this place out!!!

Absolutely always enjoy this venue! I've been to a variety of types of performances & always have a great time. If you're a local, or just visiting Baltimore, I highly recommend checking out what's going on @The Ottobar.

One of the best bars in Baltimore! I frequent here for the upstairs pool tables. People who play pool are all super friendly. Awesome that there’s never a cover for upstairs but sometimes the DJ is meh. Staff are super friendly, drinks are cold, and downstairs puts on some real good shows occasionally

Had an extremely positive experience at this venue. My partner and I visited for a queer event that is specifically for queer individuals. We were a bit concerned when we arrived and there was a group of men who were very inebriated and acting a fool waiting in line with us. They seemed to be local college kids who were not part of the community and would've been very disruptive inside. The bouncer turned them away at the door. I was very impressed with him for protecting the queer space! Also, the drinks are cheap and staff is friendly. Great venue!

Made up for two separate areas, one upstairs, one downstairs. Very punk rock feel. Price for entry will vary depending on event but can advance sale purchase for a cheaper ticket price.

Great place for intimate, interesting music acts. Sight lines are pretty good. Great calender of acts throughout the year. Bar is accessible with decent beer selections. Highly recommend getting the annual pass; great opportunity to see a bunch of folks you might never have seen.

Haven't been in years and it felt exactly the same as before. Love the small intimate atmosphere where the band is literally right in front of you. We saw The Dear Hunter here for the second time and it was just as amazing as the first.

Cool little place, security was awesome, drink prices were great 👍 sound was really good, great place for a small show

The Ottobar has got to be the coolest place to see a show in Baltimore, and perhaps in the entire Baltimore/DC region. The Ottobar is a small(ish) venue that nevertheless books acts that usually play larger venues. Most shows have no separation between the performers and the audience, and there is a small balcony above the right side of the stage that puts you right in the middle of the action. The staff is consistently friendly and keep the crowd safe, and the drinks are reasonably priced. I make the drive up from DC without hesitation because I love the Ottobar.

Ottobar rules!! With great sound, awesome crowds, and TWO great performance spaces (go to the bar/dance floor upstairs after the show!) my opinion is that Ottobar rules.

What an amazing venue. Small and intimate place to see metal shows. Non-alcoholic drink options. All around amazing vibe. Loved this place.

Cool little dive, perfect for live music. Parking is easy enough if you get there early. Staff was friendly, bar prices weren't crazy.
Also impressed that they're taking their covid precautions pretty seriously, so hopefully shows can continue happening here!

Would definitely make the trip down from Philly again!

Best venue for live music in Baltimore. Great staff and reasonable prices for drinks.

This is an all time classic venue. Maybe the best in the world. The balcony/landing area is an unmatched place to view live music.

Amazing place to see a show! It's small and intimate so you can get close to performers. There are really cool seats next and above stage if can get there early. Parking is free but fills up for popular concerts.

Best live music venue in Baltimore!
From the schedule of bands to the staff! The upstairs always has something going on and is a great place to grab a drink

I been to the Ottobar and I really thought it was a cool place to visit with some friends. I have been there a few times for Gothic themed parties which I had fun !!!! The bar is a nice cool place and has nice music and awesome bartenders 😎😎!!!!

I have been coming here for many years. I have seen many many show. I meet friends here often to just have a drink and catch up. I've met new friends here. I've seen so many great shows. I love this place!!!

Fantastic dive bar that has been around over 20 years. If youre looking for live music in Baltimore, this is a great spot to go. Great atmosphere.

i went here on the 9th for The Fall of Troy and it was excellent! even with the parking lot under construction i still found parking and had the time of my life. great!
