OTB

Came here on a Friday or Saturday night with a friend. She had a glass of wine and I ordered some asparagus salad thing! The asparagus was good BUT, it took a seriously long time for them to get a salad out– my friend was basically finished with her glass of wine. Other than that no complaints.

Love the cocktails and the BURGER!!! Super fun at the weekends and very nice and chilled during the week. Perfect spot!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.
They have the BEST cocktails and fantastic food.
The grilled hot wings and french fries are to die for, my mouth is watering thinking about them. All the food is really great, I’ve never drank or ate anything at this bar that was less than excellent. Great vibes and really great music all the time. Nice and big which is a luxury in Williamsburg and really clean too (also a luxury).
I can never say enough good things about this place.
Yum!

Came here on the recommendation of several friends. The place is cute and the service is awesome. The 2 stars is for the food. I had the worst «lobster roll» ever. It was soooo diced up I really am unsure when it was cooked, how fresh it was. I didn’t want the server to take it back because I wanted to give it a chance. It sucked. I probably won’t ever come here for food again. But I would definitely come here for drinks and to hang out.

Ideal atmosphere, delicious oysters, ice cold drinks. An absolute go to on any night of the week.
!!! infinate bonus points to OTB for having late night oyster happy hour — YES

I went to OTB for some food and cocktails on a Saturday evening. There was no wait around 8 PM on a Saturday. I was curious what OTB stands for so I asked the server who said it stands for Off Track Betting. Makes sense because there is a horse theme inside.
The service is pretty standard for Williamsburg. Not overly friendly, but also not bad. They have a nice cocktail menu as well as a decent selection of wine and beer.
I ordered a bunch of different menu items and enjoyed just about everything that I tried. Probably my favorite was the curry mussels and fries.
If I was in the area I would definitely go back to OTB.

Great service, great drinks and awesome food!
Came with a group of 4 on a Friday night and we all ordered the same drink, Rough Day and it was delicious… So good we ended up ordering about 13 of them but aside from that the food was great too!
Curry Mussels — Delicious. I simply couldn’t get enough. I was drinking the liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Mac & Cheese — Creamy goodness to soak up all the alcohol we drank.
Oysters — Small but packed with flavor.
I really wish I could have tried everything else on the menu but we were stuffed by the end of our meal!

I usually go to OTB for drinks but last evening I decided to have some food. I was sitting at the bar and ordered the ceviche. I said to the waitress/​bartender that Im very allergic to gluten and could she check if I could have the ceviche. She said fine, brought it out. I looked at it and asked «is that soy sauce? I could get very sick. I can’t have gluten.» She checked and said yes and took it away. I then asked If i could have the dish without soy sauce and gluten free, she said she’d check and yes. She brought it out, I ate it, It was very good and then this morning I am very sick with a reaction. SO, whether the fault of her not being diligent or the cook not knowing what a gluten allergy is, don’t go here if you’re sensitive and could get sick. Because either way, they don’t care.

Had a nice late night dinner here last night.
The oysters from 11 – 1 am go for a dollar, and we also had the curry mussels– which were amazing and worth going back to have again.
The drink list is in a binder and they have a huge assortment of different liquors, cocktails were really good as well!

Dollar oysters all night and NOT Blue Points?
SIGN.
ME.
UP.
Oysters of the day were Beausoleil’s which I love, enough to eat a dozen of them by myself (before eating a fried chicken dinner). And yes, you want to go for the fried chicken dinner because it comes with deliciously creamy mac and cheese and some slaw.
Not going to lie. I was pretty drunk when we came here ( Unilocal event afterparty, duh). But I remember having a good sour beer. Twice.
Waitress was nice. Bathroom was fine. Booths were comfortable enough. Fried chicken was yummy. Not much more to it than that.

Stopped in here as an after-​hang from an Elite event.
Nice and attentive service. $ 1 oysters, at least on this Monday night and a nice beer and wine selection. Cozy, French café vibe. Nice booth and table space.

oh Alla, you are amazing, your artfully crafted Kentucky Sin, the incredible drinks you make with your tinctures of Tamarind, Vanilla, Cumin, lemon and Bourbon is enough to make me sing any song at Karaōke! This bar, the food, the charm, the people. The Atmosphere! Laura, and everyone else. I love this place. Belarus is sad without you, but we are glad to have you here doing what you do best. I shall call you an artist. A Picasso with the many colors and palettes of liquor and fruit infused accouterment. Keep inventing new drinks and I promise you I will be back as often as I can!
Oh and your fried chicken meal, and the fried chicken sandwich??? HOLY HELL… A-​MAZ-​ING.
I can’t wait to sample the entire menu.

OTB is a beautiful restaurant/​bar. Everything is well decorated, cozy and the service is hospitable and excellent! They had a projector playing episodes of ‘I Love Lucy.’ I love that! Their liquor list is a binder that is organized based on the spirit you prefer. I applaud you OTB for little details such as that. Now I came here during happy hour and ordered their wings and a beer. Wings are ½ off and draft beers are a 1 $ off which is a great steal.
You can order your wings in a multitude of ways. Either grilled or fried preparation and either spicy or plain flavor. I opted for the classic spicy fried wings. The wings were indeed spicy but had a good flavor. My problem was they had way too much breading and sauce for my liking. Literally dripping sauce as I ate my wing. I think next time I come here I would ask for the grilled ones spicy with the sauce on the side. But they were good none the less.
This is a very date-​like place. I don’t think I would ever go back here alone. I would love to check it out on a Monday when they do movie night. Definitely will come back to OTB.

This is my go-​to neighborhood bar. Love it! Great dollar oyster special on Mondays. Awesome movies playing: always. Nice bites and a great ginger drink they make special for me. Service is great and I love how the bathroom has louder speakers… gives you a chance to really break it down in private before you head out back to your party.

One of the best bars in the neighborhood!
Amazing cocktail menu, wine list and even late night menu. The Caesar salad is a must try.
Favorite cocktail: Ruby rum & ruff days !!
Enjoy.

While recently working down the block we stumbled in for Sunday Brunch based on the interesting menu in the window. The name of the restaurant is nowhere to be seen on the outside of the building. It seem to be a trend in hipster Williamsburg as all of the restaurants on the Broadway seem to want to confuse you rather than encourage you come in or remember them!
Well I’m very glad that we did go in… The Miso-​congee With Lobster… butter poached lobster, homemade kimchee, poached egg, grilled ramps & cured cucumbers… was absolutely SUBLIME! I had never had congee before. I love it. This is such an interesting combination of flavors and it is spectacular.
The Huevos Rancheros… homemade tortilla, two fried eggs, green chili sauce, avocado, black bean pico di gallo… are a huge portion and were also packed with great flavor combinations.
Their Homemade Kimchee is also spectacular.
I’m glad we got there for brunch… the daily menu seems a little more pedestrian. I would certainly give it a try though… I bet that they elevate pedestrian to a new level.

I think this area of Broadway is just 4 star heaven… Lugers, OTB, Diner, Marlow & Sons… just a great place to be yo!
OTB makes solid drinks that are trying to kill you. Their house cocktails are very good, as is their food. My cocktail was a The Rogue which was actually really refreshing… Bourbon, Lemon, Cassis. Boom.
Really nice tiled, long bar. Great ambiance. They were playing Mrs. Doubtfire when I walked in… another confirmation the Brooklyn is where all the action is nowadays.
Also 5 star bartender, who is just the right amount of attentive and knows how to appropriately throw back a Hawaiian shaka and a «brah».

Great bar start to finish, great place to grab a good cocktail and a bite.
Interior is nice and the staff is nice and attentive.
They have a great selection of whiskey and cocktails.
Delicious bar food all around.
–The fried pickles were some of the best I ever had
–The nuggets were really good and tender
–Chili cheese fries were also some of the best I had
Overall good spot, good drinks and good food

I have heard great things about this place from a few people and went to go check it out with the girlfriend after work.
When you walk in you are hit with a beautiful bar and general décor. It all works together and makes for a warm, inviting place to sit and have a drink.
The menu is huge with a gargantuan list of whiskeys and other spirits. The first thing I noticed is that some of the prices were completely out of whack. Everything was super overpriced. I settled on a perfect Manhattan for $ 11 — It was very good.
For dinner I was told the OTB burger and fries is a must have. I ordered it medium rare. It came back a little undercooked for ground beef (really rare) but it was well seasoned and very tasty. The toppings were not listed but it was some sort of mild cheese and what seemed like a spicy relish. The fries were above average. The GF got a French onion soup that was above average as well. We were still hungry to we finished it off with a apple compote — it was ok.
So — why 3 stars? The prices. The service was great, the food was above average and the cocktails were on point. But $ 18 for a burger and fries? Get outta here. It wasn’t that large and frankly, was just an above average burger that was slightly undercooked. French onion soup was $ 12. 3 drinks 3 food items tax and tip came out to be almost $ 90. That’s crazy pants for upscale bar food.
I would come back, but only on payday.
