Been here twice now. First time had a couple beers. Average.
Second time just came in for a cocktail. Ordered 2 Segrams 7 and 7’s. Had to double check with the bartender that they were doubles. So watered down, could faintly taste the alcohol. Never coming back. Do not recommend. A waste of $25.

I'm a repeat visitor here specifically for the tanked fishbowl drinks and they have been hit and miss. Maranda was serving us tonight! She has been my favorite server here thus far! Incredibly personable and the drinks she makes are consistent 🫶 she was even willing to get creative with us as we asked her to make off menu items.
We will be coming back here specifically for Maranda and the way she took care of us tonight!
Thank you for making our night

I wanted to like this place. However, the music was too loud, the food was average. My spouse had the wings. He said he would go there for them again if they're the special, but the fries were both hot and cold at the same time. My nachos were a salt bomb. All I could taste was salt and jalapeños. The beer was fairly priced though. So that might warrant a return trip. The bartender was very attentive. No complaints about him.

What a fun experience. We went after work, so too early for the exciting younger crowd fun, but my husband and I had a nice time. We split an order of the chicken wings and the loaded fries. He has a Coors light while I had the skinny marg. Every single thing was OUTSTANDING! The food was hands down extraordinary! I am not sure who our waiter/tender was, but he was great also! We will be back!!

Top notch. We came to OTC because a "suggested bar" next door was overcrowded. This spot was Not overcrowded and many times cleaner. the manager/owner, barstaff, and security services were excellent in making a night with family fun and interesting! They were professional accommodating, even after "someone" didn't hold it down/in. (D) bit pricier than next door, but classier, i think. Another tall pineapple absolute and Jaeger, and i might have joined my nephew.

*we were robbed*! very nice place, good music and delicious food. 🚫but we wanted to spend a drink to a server who was “birthday” we pay the round and we were supposed to owe nothing. but when we want to left we were found charging a round of drinks that strangers people had drinks according to them because we invited them and that was a *lie*!!! , they took advantage of the fact that my friend did not speak english and blamed him for agreeing to invite a group of strangers people for a round. they said everything was recorded to the cameras and I wanted to see them,but they never agreed, they were rude and threatened to take us out of the place, it was not so because the security noticed. finally my friend paid to avoid problems. but I feel robbed that poor service for a nice place.

Honestly one of the best bars I’ve ever been to. I was being harassed by someone, and the Owner and Bartenders took notice immediately and swiftly removed the person causing me to be uncomfortable, without a second guess. I felt incredibly safe and supported by this bar and will continue to visit and I recommend it to everyone. Absolutely wonderful place to be. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. It ment the world to me. Also Riley is AMAZING. ❤️

Fantastic! We saw this place first on social media and decided to swing by on a Friday night. Drinks were great, draft options are also great. The crowd is young and attractive, but it doesn’t feel like a college bar, which we prefer. It’s a bit more of a mature young crowd, if that makes sense? This would be a great place for a group of friends to enjoy a good time without the unnecessary chaos of downtown bars. Music is loud and poppin. Room for dancing downstairs if that’s your vibe. We will for sure be back! I can’t say enough in a review, long story short: We loved it and had a good time. 10/10 recommend
