    Can never not give the Ottobar five stars! This is certainly my favorite venue in Baltimore and at times feels like home! I come here pretty frequently for really fun events. Sometimes they're even free and the staff always does a great job. Shows here are also excellent as the sound is great and the acts are very diverse. The bar tenders make great drinks and the prices are fair.

    What a great venue! The only place you can get up close and personal with your favorite rising artists. When you walk in the door, security checks your ID and gives you an event bracelet. The stage is five steps away from the entry. General admission has access to the first floor, along the entryway wall, there are risers to stand on if you want some space from the crowd. Some spots have a clear view of the stage but others are obstructed by a support beam (see video). After you claim your spot I suggest sending one friend to pick up drinks at the bar. The bar area is huge, and they'll make just about anything for you. I love how you can still watch the show from the bar area so you won't miss anything. NOTE: No food is served inside the venue. No outside food or beverages are allowed inside the venue. Overall: Small venue. Professional sound system. Affordable tickets. Huge bar area. (no seating in the bar area) Friendly staff. Rising artists. Local spot. Hipster and edgy vibes. There's a disco ball.
