About Otto's Shrunken Head

Otto's Shrunken Head is a fun tiki bar in NYC with a lively atmosphere and retro vibes. It hosts live music performances in a back room, featuring bands and DJs that play rock'n roll, rockabilly, garage rock, punk rock, and ska/punk. The bar is known for its friendly and welcoming staff, who make guests feel at home even when busy. The decor and theme are unique, and visitors can buy a tiki mug, like a little pig, for a small fee. The drinks, including tiki mug cocktails, are fairly priced and strong, adding to the enjoyable experience. The food, such as chicken skewers and dumplings, is surprisingly delicious. The bar also hosts a monthly artists market and a Subway to Skaville show with DJ Ryan Midnight, creating lively nights. Seating can be limited, and the space between the bar and seating is narrow, which might feel a bit awkward, especially when crowded. Still, with no cover charge, it’s worth stopping by to see if there’s a seat. Otto's Shrunken Head remains a lively spot for those looking for a fun night out in NYC.
