It’s hard to imagine a Baltimore without an Ottobar . Rumor has it that an unfortunate stage diving incident has caused a substantial financial rift for the legendary music venue. If you happen upon some spare time, you should find something that suits your tastes on the calendar and lend your patronage because, if you’re reading this, there are solid odds that the Ottobar has entertained you on at least one occasion. I, for one, feel like a Baltimore without the Ottobar is completely unacceptable.

It takes qualified mixologists to put the bar in Ottobar . Hats off to Chuck and Tecla for putting up with us at last call when all they want to do is go home and most of us can’t seem to find the way. Cheers!
