The other reviewer mentioned something about the "Original" Ottobar. The "Original" has not been open since 2001 so the great majority of people who are on this site were never there. There really is no need to bring it up. It was a piece of crap, trust me.

The current version of the Ottobar on Howard Street is legendary. The dance nights, the concerts, and Two for Tuesdays upstairs are all extremely fun times. You may run into a Hipster, Rocker, Punk, Hip-Hopster, JHU kid... you never know. Drinks are reasonably priced and the location is safe and convenient. You must experience Two for Tuesdays upstairs at least once in your lifetime.
