After a long day helping someone move to the neighborhood, we just wanted anything to eat. Even though it was late on a Sunday, we got a friendly greeting, were served quickly and the food was delicious. Far better than we expected. Will definitely eat here again.

Honestly, didn't know what to expect, but the staff were super nice and I'd go back just to get the french onion soup again on a rainy day :)

Some great bartenders depending on the night, over-inflated prices, interesting crowd, food is nothing to write home about, and they tend to cancel jukebox songs if they ain’t feeling it. That’s cool for Bob and Barbara’s, but not somewhere that a beer costs the downpayment for a car loan. A Miller HiLife is $7. It was much better when it was the epitome of a dive bar, Sara’s. Also, it was great before they remodeled for out-of-state transplants. Now it costs more to have a beer there than it does in tribeca.

My bill was $7.70 and I got back $8 due to the fact that they “don’t have small change”. The bartender gave me 50¢ after I mentioned it. Such a small thing that should not have to be asked for. If your drinks are $7.70, you ought to have proper change. Typical Randall…

Btw. I have drank at this establishment for 10+ years

Edit: I must say, when they make their own pasta, it fukkin slaps

We live down the street so we go here fairly often, but it's on the pricey side so we try not to go too often.
Having said that, it is worth the price. Food is always 10/10, cocktails and beer selection also 10/10. And all of the bar tenders and wait staff are very nice.
Love the atmosphere, so chill and cozy - it's one of my favorite places to go in the autumn/winter with a book and just have a dessert or a beer.
I don't want to recommend any specific dishes because their menu rotates every few months, very seasonal. But, everything I have had there is delicious.
Oh they also have Guinness which is a plus for me.

Great portions and options, deals for happy hour and tasty burgers. I got a citywide with their Taproom burger. Reliable bar when I’m in Brewerytown

I really enjoyed my time at Otto’s! My chicken sandwich was wonderful and the pretzel nuggets were buttery and delicious!

So, they made a mistake when me and my family came here and two people got their meals very late. That happens in all restaurants though. They did a fantastic job fixing their mistakes and owning up to it though, comping those two meals and offering more. I think that's really more important than perfection, since the latter is impossible.

This was my first time visiting as I’m new to the neighborhood and boy was I glad i stopped in. The service was phenomenal! the bartender made GREAT suggestions. The drinks were good the food was delicious the atmosphere was comfortable. All in all a great place that i plan to frequent.

Convenient neighborhood hangout. Happy Hour is cute. The food is good. The atmosphere is nice. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CHECK! And last but not least, the music comes from a box that you have to pay for, and oftentimes, it's lousy and gives this urban bar a country rock and dated vibe thats not conducive to the neighborhood. There needs to be a balance. Play some Robert Glasper or sexy house music, remixed jazzy tunes and or some brazilian jazz!! Let's go!!

Great local bar a block away from my house. Extremely clean and well done.

For me it's the best pub to be in Brewerytown, from all aspects - food, drinks, atmosphere, service.
