This was a neat place. But it's very small and Parking is very first come first serve, not a ton of options. But it was nice on the inside. It was packed on a Tuesday evening and the wait at the bar to order food and drinks was long any time you went. The bartender was really nice but there were only 2 there for the most part of the evening so they were very busy. The food was way better than I could have expected with a smaller menu. Highly recommend the chicken street tacos and spicy margaritas. The queso was ok, I'd stick to the guacamole and chips on future trips there. Definitely recommend but get there earlier to get a Parking spot and not have to wait too long at the bar.There are parking spots in front and behind maybe about 13-15 total but there were options for street parking on both sides of the street on the side of the restaurant. So parking isn't impossible on a weeknight but a weekend may be.

I used to love this place and the bartenders were awesome (greeted me instantly and even knew my drink) the past 2 times I went here it was staff I have never seen- which is totally fine but they were really rude- we went in last Sunday after a birthday dinner and waited at the bar for 15 minutes while the bartender took shots with a guest & ignored us (stacked glasses and re stocked in front of us with no greeting or symbol of us being there) and when we wanted a second cocktail at 11- said they could only do beer and shots- which I totally get wanting to start closing down the bar an hour before close( I’m in service industry but just really rude to be doing shots and ignore guests then close everything early )

The best part about my time here was the dollar off draft beers. A $3 Coors pint is nothing to diss. The decor was very cool too, when I was a kid this place was like an AC Delco or something. In addition to my 2 beers I ordered the $10 small cheese plate... The cheese was incredibly dry, almost the consistency of astronaut ice cream. Unfortunately they were out of honey which, in addition to the grapes, would've helped the situation immensely. If I go back I'd like to try some cocktails and the tacos which both looked well prepared.

Worst experience we have had in this area. First one bartender for the entire place. Second we sat at the bar and he waited on several people that walked up to the bar after we sat down. We also ordered the happy hour cheese plate and got charged for a large. When you get your check it’s just a total not itemized which is never a good sign. We would have had more drinks had service been better. But I do not recommend this place and I will never return. Avoid avoid avoid

The bartenders were insanely laissez faire, only asking once if we needed anything after waiting literally 40 minutes for tacos with empty drinks all around. It would have been moderately redeeming if the tacos were okay but they were legit awful. Dry, flavorless beef overwhelmed the whole thing. At the end we sat there with no drinks, an ounce of warm pitcher water that was never offered to be refilled, I had to literally ration myself because I knew service would never occur. Just an hour of my life I’d like back.

I have been here a handful of times and really enjoy the atmosphere! They have a large selection for such a quaint spot, draft beers, wine, mixed drinks and canned too. Small bites consist of tacos, nachos, and queso which are all moderately priced and great for a snack portion! Also a cheese board if you’re feeling *fancy*. Never had a problem parking but I could imagine on a busy weekend you’ll need to be prepared to park around the corner. Covered patio seating in the back.

This place is a GOLD MINE. Incredibly delicious drinks. My husband and I got the Easy Rider (vodka based) and the spicy margarita. We also started with the chips and queso. Literally did not talk to each other for 10 minutes it was all so good. I ordered the 1980’s beef tacos and my husband got the chicken street tacos. Again, amazing. We’re finishing out the night with the Killer Rabbit (mezcal very Smokey) and I’m having the 7-10 Spritz. We will definitely be back!

My gf and her father have a hot chicken week tradition and I’ve been able to participate with them for two years in a row. The kickoff party started here at 5 o’clock. We showed up an hour early and saw them go from 0-100 within minutes. Sam and Cole held it down with poise and made everyone feel extremely welcome. It was the best hot chicken dish of the day and the cocktails were exceptional too. We’ll definitely be back.

Delicious, strong, interesting cocktails with a great variety of base liquors are the way to my heart, and Ottos delivers. The ambiance is very East Nashville...funky, cool and cozy- you forget that you’re right on Charlotte. Nice outdoor space out back. We also had the nachos and a couple of tacos which were really excellent and didn’t break the bank. Can’t wait to be back- this place is going to be in regular rotation.

This bar is iconic. It’s an amazing local spot with delicious craft cocktails, talented staff and the best tacos! I love that they are an inclusive space and that they offer NA beer and cocktails AND vegan food options. The owners are two of the loveliest people! I’m a big fan and always bring my out of town friends and family in for a drink.

Cool little place! Nothing super fancy or extraordinary but it's a great neighborhood bar to come chill, have a few drinks and have a good time once in a while. I like their selection of beers a lot, and my girlfriend always enjoys their cocktails. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area!

Visited summer 2023 This bar is in an old auto shop and has pretty cool decorations and atmosphere. The drinks were great, and prices were reasonable. The staff and crowd is more alternative, and everyone seems friendly and helpful. Would go again.

I came for Taco Tuesday. There were indeed tacos and it was indeed Tuesday, so right there that's a win. I dare you to argue with that. I guess it is kind of weird that you can get a good deal on tacos on the day of the week that Forrest Gump lost his mom, but she had a good life and she loved to feed people so I think I get it. Also vegan street tacos.

The bartenders were friendly and informative. A limited menu, but everything we had was good. The crowd was younger in a bohemian atmosphere.

Otto's is everything I wanted in a local bar option on the west side. The space is setup perfectly, offering both indoor and outdoor options. The menu is excellent and only surpassed by the service. I went on a Wednesday and ordered the cava from the $5 wine options. It's a fun and happy place. Be sure to check it out!

Went to a wedding and to keep celebrating, we decided to keep the party running by heading to a bar, which happened to be Otto's. The venue was really cool and the drinks were excellent. Parking was a little dicey overall and the bar was very packed but it was exactly the vibe we all wanted. Overall, solid experience.

I am in love with this place; Daniel, Ash, and Jake gave us THE PERFECT post-work environment to relax and have some amazing drinks. The customer service here knows NO BOUNDS. We will be here far more than I’m willing to admit. Thank you for trying the drink I love, and nailing it Great job! Love it.

This is absolutely a gem of Nashville! Not only are the drinks great, but they play VHS movies on a projector! The staff were so helpful and really kind. They have a really unique patio setting, I won't spoil it for you. Definitely a new favorite place to grab tacos and drinks. More

Love my neighborhood bar! Bodi is the best at making me my “special” and the painkiller definitely takes away the pain. The entire staff is patient and awesome when it comes down to drink chatter. Tacos are yummy and always fresh. Thank you everyone at Otto’s!

Met a dude who said he's 'the owner' on the morning of Dec 8th. He let me in and just started giving me beers out of the fridge for my 'birthday' then he showed me the cozy closed-in back porch that was unseasonably comfortable. Place seemed pretty cool.

Good cocktails, staff are attentive. Highly recommended. Updated from previous review.

Excellent cocktail menu with a good beer and wine selection. I was excited to try the painkiller and it did the trick. Stellar service with a chill vibe and atmosphere. Best vegan nachos I’ve ever had!

Seemingly decidedly not yet another upscale Jip Joint, featuring chill drinks, chill vibe and an overall different and appreciated dedication to good 'Ole fashion value (& great Old Fashions :-) !

Great cocktail bar. I feel like I’m in Havana whenever I’m here. I’ve been stuck on the spicy margarita and Paloma since summer is here. In the winter the bourbon drinks are equally as delicious.

Such a cool place! Not many options on food, but when you do one thing, do it to perfection! We all said it was the best tacos we've had! The drinks were just as great! We will be back! Soon

Cocktails are good! It’s kind of sketch looking and seems weird but it’s a nice spot. A lot of cat decor!

Best hidden gem in Nashville. The drinks are delicious and beautifully made. Exceptional service both bartenders did an amazing job. Made our Nashville trip :) Thanks guys!

Came for after dinner drinks. I loved the French 75 and the Aviation! Cool atmosphere. Decent prices for cocktails compared to some places. Nice bartenders. I’d recommend!

This bar is my happy place. Taco Tuesday has amazing deals and the servers/bartenders have treated me like a friend since my very first visit. Dean is the absolute goat

Had a great time at Otto's! Good vibes, good drinks, good queso and guac! A great place for a drink and snacks.

I’m only writing this because one female server was rude on the late evening of 11/4. Other than that, drinks were good but don’t be rude to the customers.

Amazing vibe. Very laid back and cozy. Drinks are great and service is wonderful. Very nice place to go chill and have great conversations with friends.

Delicious craft cocktails. Cool atmosphere! Great beers on tap. Good food. Everything you could want in a bar. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Taco was excellent. I ordered the 1980 Taco Beef & Chicken. So well prepared. Ambiance is great. Such a fun place. Service was fast. More

Walked in, sat in plain view of bartenders and had multiple waiters walk by with no acknowledgement. Walked out 10 minutes later.

Staff is super kind! They go above and beyond every time.

Taco Tuesday was terrific. Cocktails were delicious and the tacos were great small plate items. Will be back.

Super cute hippie place to stop in for a cool refreshing drink! Hang out with friends or meet a date. ❤️

Amazing staff, and great small bites (tacos, nachos, etc) to compliment absolutely awesome cocktails.

Great service, decent drink, but the place has a very loud smell that is unpleasant in the beginning

We tried two of their specialty cocktails... They were the worst drinks I've ever had. We moved on.
