The Ottobar is my favorite live music venue in the area. Sure it's sort of a dive, but that's part of the fun of any alternative music venue. It has been the choice of some punk and metal staples to...

Decent venue for smaller and local acts. My first visit was Monday night to see a friend's band play (subtle plug for Middle Child Syndrome). They opened for Gelatine, Typherus, and Geist (all asian...

I've been here a lot (Used to be called Club Midnight) and these days, I'm a bit confused when I leave, every time. Once I walked in and I was harassed a little by the Budweiser chugging, ex-Frat Boy...

I dread having to go to Baltimore for shows. I HATE Baltimore. It's definitely the worst city I've ever been to (and violent/dangerous as hell).Anyway, The Ottobar is alright. It's kind of small...

I love going to the Ottobar! It's a good place for indie bands to perform. The venue isn't too big, so you can usually see the bands. It never gets too crowded, but they do attract a certain group...

I've been to Ottobar about a dozen or so times, but it wasn't until I was there on Friday, for my best friend's first solo art show, that I realize how much I love and hate the Ottobar. Confusing,...

A good place to see live, local music. There's a ton of hipsters here; If that's your scene, you'll probably rate it five stars. A beer and shots kind of place; I'm sure you could order a mixed...

Friends brought us to Otto's when we were visiting Baltimore. They had a jazz band there the night we visited. There are 2 sections - an upstairs and a down stairs. We were upstairs. Generous drinks and good...

This is basically a working class bar in the middle of nowhere, relatively speaking. I like it because it tends to not be too crowded, they have a couple of pool tables, they don't blast the jukebox...

This is my favorite venue in the DC-Baltimore area. Its a small-ish joint, so the shows are nice and intimate, but they get big acts, and it never feels crowded (at least when compared to other...

I've seen several burlesque performances here and a couple of bands (I'm not a big live music person) and it's a decent venue. I'd certainly check to see if it's an all-ages show or just for...

It is what it is. This place is a Baltimore institution. If you search Baltimore photos on flickr, I've noted Ottobar is the most popular tag.In all honesty, the Ottobar is just not my scene. It's...

It's known as the place where the hipsters hang out, but the real reason you'll find the Ottobar so appealing is simple: nobody cares who you are. Everyone is welcome. The drinks are a good deal and...

Gets good bands, and it is small enough that there really isn't a bad "seat". It is however the smokiest palce I think I have ever been to.

Cool live music venue that seemed to skew harder rock when I was there (good for me). Unpretentious, decent sound, don't recall much about the beer selection. I didn't notice any hipsterism.

I've been going to the Ottobar for years, and one thing I can say for sure is that it's consistent. I've seen bands from all over the spectrum there, stood in the front, the back, sat on the balcony,...

Best local venue for music, primarily for being small and not full of itself. Its not fancy, its not clean, and it definitely isn't "DC trendy." But they manage to book an incredibly varried, yet...

Many performers are skipping DC and Philly to play here. THat should tell you a lot about the place. IT's one of the better music venues in the area as far as booking "the shows you want to see". It's...

The Ottobar is one of the only places to see live music in Baltimore. I've seen some The Kelly Bell Band and other local bands here. The acoustics are great.

The old Ottobar kicked ass, but the newer one is, miraculously, even cooler. They have great shows and I always have a lot of fun when I go. I especially recommend the monthly "underground" dance party night.

Well, the title says it...the Ottobar moved a few months back and it's no longer a 'dark-alley bar'. It's much bigger and nicer than the old Ottobar, but still cheap and great for live music! Also, the monthly...
