The Ottobar

About this business

The hippest place in Baltimore to see an alternative rock band is this scruffy, but chic, midtown establishment. The bar itself is very small, so many patrons stand or sit in front of the tiny stage, or wander around the multi-colored second and third floors. The bands are either unsigned locals or independent-label acts. All play loud and fast.

Lesbophobic staff kicked out my friends for simply dancing and kissing. male staff members intimidated and bullied and compared them to the KKK.

Not a safe space for women, especially for lesbians. Two lesbian women were kicked out of this place with great rudeness and no reasons. It is not professional and is probably homophobic.

Not safe for lesbians. Male staff intimidating women is appalling.

This bar is masquerading as a safe space for women but apparently is not. Two lesbian women were KICKED OUT by staff. For being Lesbians. No joke. Boycott this company. They don’t deserve to continue to serve customers.

Great little venue for Baltimore. Love the vibe and the staff are always great. Even offering to walk people to their cars late at night. Definitely a Baltimore staple!
