I hosted my 41st birthday here, and it was fantastic! Friends raved about the space, food, drinks, and service. - Beautiful and charming bar with space for large parties up front, including a pool table and coffee table seating for ~10 - Easy to book with flexible options that work best for you--no hold fees or per-person minimums; guests can order a la carte, choose small bites ($30/person: cheeseburger sliders, Caesar salad, mac n' cheese, chicken nuggets n' fries, wings), or party platters (feed 30-40; half trays OK) - We had half trays of Fish tacos, Buffalo cauliflower, Wings, and Ceaser Salad and everyone loved the food! - Outside cakes are allowed (no extra charges for plates or utensils!) - Outstanding service from manager Russel and staff--friendly, attentive, never needed reminders - Booked the front space for 2 hours, but when time was up, Russel seamlessly reserved 2 booths and part of the bar for us--we stayed longer and loved it OTB, thank you for a great party! read more

In December I needed a space that could accomadate about 30-40 people for a rehearsal dinner/party for my wedding. OTB communicated well with me via email. The reservation was easy to make, we had the whole front area to enjoy ourselves and play pool. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. We had the tacos, highly recommend. The location is awesome, right after we went to Bembe's and went dancing. It was such a fun night! read more

OTB - sign they did just for us! - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a beautiful bar. And it's got most of the things I want in a watering hole: 1. Booze. You can drink all the things here (beer, wine, shots), and they also make a mean cocktail, too. Whether you're into the classics (Old Fashioned, Manhattan, etc.) or something special on their menu (the Snowbird, maybe), they make tasty drinks. 2. Great bartenders. Shout out to Amber, who was super hospitable, an excellent drink-maker, and even friendly in the face of one of our party drunkenly gifting her with some chestnuts (not a euphemism, he had a 20 lb. bag of the things you're supposed to roast on an open fire during the Christmas season). 3. A pool table. When I drink, I like to play pool. 4. Comfortable seating. Booths and tables and couches and bar seats. It's all good. 5. Food. I can't say if it's any good because I'd just stuffed my face at Peter Luger's across the way, but the cheeseburger looked pretty damn good. Getting that next time. read more

A very cute spot for drinks! I would come back for happy hour. I wasn't a super big fan of the burger and fries cause the patty tasted burnt and the fries were extra crispy. Their oysters are also on the small side. But the cocktails are good and service is attentive. Maybe it was just a bad day for the chef? read more

I came here with a group of friends for a celebratory occasion. We made a reservation and were all seated around a table near the door. Our server/bartender was really nice, but with only two bartenders (that I saw) on a Saturday evening, they were understaffed. We ordered fries for the table and they were burnt to a crisp. Drinks were a bit expensive but not bad, there's a wide variety of options. read more

Came on a date...that didn't last, but memories here will live on. I seriously cannot get over how good the Ruff Days drink was. How can I make it myself?! My date and I loved the bartender - super friendly, had some shots with us, good vibes all around. Unfortunately our waiter before chatting wit the bartender was out of it ... we asked if we should be ordering at the bar and were told it was table service... but proceeded to be forgotten after ordering our first round of drinks. Asides from that, I really liked the place! read more

I've been to OTB a few times and my feeling has always been "this is fine." The service is usually decent as is the food. Welp, we went last night and both my girlfriend and I got food poisoning. Not a great experience. Probably not going back anytime soon. read more

Spent marathon Sunday here for a drink and a quick bite. The vibes were good, I had a hot toddy to warm up but the chili cheese fries were the star of the show. It's one of my favorite childhood dishes and was glad to see them on the menu. The portion size was big, so big that I couldn't finish them. I'll be back to try the wings. read more

Good drinks and nice vibes! It was during the heat wave so it was a nice relief to get some AC. They have a billiards table set up and they make their frozen drinks from scratch and not those pre-made all sugary mixes! Service - a little slow, but friendly read more

We stopped by for happy hour oysters and a drink. The Mignonette and cocktail sauces were pretty good and seasoned nicely. We also ordered the Flamingo Frose cocktail, which was pretty good, but I wished had a little more tartness to it. The service was pretty good. The ambiance was great. The interior was nicely decorated with cool 007, bond girl style photography and art. The vibe was daytime classy and they have a pool table. It's also advertised that you can have a pool party there (billiards). Outdoor seating is also available read more

OTB in Williamsburg is a cocktail bar serving very solid American bar food. We came for cocktails and dinner and ordered the special sauce burger, fried chicken sandwich and several cocktails (zizou spritz, margarita, mojito and whiskey sour). The burger and chicken sandwich were very good and topped with a better version of the McDonald's Big Mac sauce. OTB is a great place to get some great no-frills dinner and drinks before a night out read more

My new favorite bar in the winter because there's so much natural light during the daytime. And there are tasty warm winter beverages in adorable mugs. The little things make a difference during these gloomy winter months. The staff were so accommodating for my party of 25. I made the reservations two weeks in advance and everything worked out perfectly. I am so grateful to OTB. This place is right on the way to the Williamsburg Bridge. This was a great spot to celebrate my birthday. The ambiance/color palette are so cute and charming. I drank a drink with chartreuse that was divine. I also had an Irish coffee that was perfect. And I had a spritz. Every drink was great. I love OTB! read more

OTB - Front room was beautiful and empty on a Sunday early afternoon - The image shows a lounge with a pool table at the center, surrounded by different types of seating including armchairs and chairs. Large windows at the back let in natural light, and there are hanging lights and potted plants on the walls. The space appears to be a casual bar or cafe with a relaxed atmosphere. - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I enjoyed my time here so much during a staycation alone while my wife was away on work that I brought her here when she returned! Although the second visit was a let down as the bar tender was overwhelmed and we could not order anything. The oysters were clean of shell and shucked to order. The accoutrements were in the top quarter for quality and flavor that I have had in recent memory. The steak frites was a pleasant portion which I appreciate. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The steak tasted basted in butter and had great texture as hangar steaks do. Cheap beer available and always appreciated along with an absolutely tasty painkiller. Full disclosure I sat alone and listened to Bukowskis Factotum and imbibed, although not to his appreciation I'm sure. A great time. read more

We stopped by for drinks while waiting for a table nearby. I had a couple beers while my wife had a mojito. Fair beer selection. I believe all the beers were canned and none were on draft but I could be wrong. It seemed like the had a nice variety of spirits when I walked by the bar on my way to the restroom. I didn't notice the whisky or mezcal selection but it seemed like they had some good options based on the varieties listed in their cocktails. They had a pool table upfront and a huge outdoor seating area. The staff was very attentive. I had some oysters for a snack. I liked them a lot and was very intrigued by the rest of the menu. read more

Got here around 4pm on a Saturday and they let us know we can seat ourselves since we were the only guests. However, by the time we were leaving, the place was packed. The decor was super cute! It still has summer vibes the first week of October. We ordered 2 frozen painkillers, the OTB burger and the fried spicy chicken wings. Everything was great. The burger was juicy. The wings weren't really spicy, but flavorful. Drinks were pretty good. read more

I came here for a cocktail around 6 pm on New Year's Eve with my boyfriend just for one drink, but I ended up getting two. I was surprised that the cocktails are reasonably priced ($14 for most of them) for NYC. The bartenders were really nice. The one who made my second drink chatted with me about how neither of us like drinks that are too sweet. Turns out the one I picked was indeed a little sweet so he asked me what I thought after I tried it and offered to make a different one. I didn't think it was necessary-- the drink tasted just fine--but the offer was nice. The decor is cute and I liked the chill atmosphere on a major partying holiday. read more

Everything from begging to end was fantastic love this place !! Nestro was our server and he was great and attentive !

The bartender that was in on Sunday night was drinking while working, hence might be why we waited 15 minutes before ordering a drink. A group of people were already there which may have been his friends, because it was loud and so was he. As he was finishing up my drink pouring it into a cup, he saw a friend and got distracted greeting him that he overflowed my drink. It ended up tasting like juice, barely any liquor. Disappointing is an understatement, just lack of professionalism and poor service read more

What a great find. A friend had heard this was a location to try their margaritas. So we did! After a walk across the bridge we sat in their outside located tables and ordered two strawberry margaritas and one raspberry. Very tasty and strong too. We proceeded to order some food later. We had chicken nuggets, super crunchy and they come with honey mustard and bbq sauce and French fries. So far the food was flavorful and portions plentiful. I noticed on my way to the bathroom there was a chalkboard noting they sold $1 oysters Sunday through Thursday, and that is my favorite. We ordered one round of 9 oysters , and YUMMM served with a cocktail sauce mixed with horseradish. So yes, we ordered more oysters (12). Absolutely delicious! A great find after a great afternoon of walking and girl talk! read more

So, I had to kill some time in the area, it was hot and I was starving. I tried a couple of other places nearby and hit up against waits and kitchen closings. I almost didn't go into OTB as the vibe is galactically hipster, and I do not fit any part of that category, but really glad I did. An extremely nice hostess walked me to a comfortable booth and brought me ice water right away. Yes! I then ordered a Pimz Colada, it was very good and came in the most elbow-achingly-perfect pineapple glass! I also ordered french onion soup and am happy to report it had a solid onion to bread to broth ratio, and yes, there was plenty of cheese bubbling on top! Within 20 minutes or so, I was joined by two of my kids and a friend, at which point we ordered: Fried pickles Chicken nuggets French fries Fried wings Everything, in generous portions, arrived quickly and tasted great Struck up a conversation with our waitress, the name is a nod to the fact that this used to be an Off Track Betting site. I remember those places so much when I was a kid, filled with tons of old men hoping to hit the right number/horse etc...When walking past, the sidewalk would be littered with old tickets, thrown to the ground in frustration as the waft of cigar and cigarette smoke blasted out of the doors. Boy, have times changed! read more

Great cocktail spot in Brooklyn. Came to a nearby restaurant for brunch and ended up here for after food drinks. It's called OTB because this place was actually an Off Track Betting place! On saturday, they had a happy hour from either 2 or 3 to 5pm for $8 mimosas. This place has that great rustic, hipster Brooklyn vibe with plenty of seating inside. They have a number of cocktails on their menu, in which I've tried a tequila with lavender and a granny smith apple drink with mezcal. Both were really delicious and flavorful. Service was also very nice. I know they serve food here but we weren't hungry. Perhaps next time! read more

Fried Pickled Chips are a MUST TRY. Our party ended up here around 11PM after several hours of heavy drinking. The ambiance is dimly lit with old music videos playing on the TVs. I ended up ordering a burger with fries ($19) and the group got two fried pickled chips ($8) to share. Oh my word are the FRIED PICKLE CHIPS phenomenal. Insanely insanely good. The burger on the other hand is super moist and amazing, but not sure if it is deserving of the $19 price tag. Honestly while the quality of the burger is outstanding, the price should have been more inline with Bareburger's prices given the smaller size of the burgers here. read more

This was my second time coming here. The drinks are really good & strong. The cherry bomb & margaritas are good drink choices. The oysters are so good, maybe even the best I've had. Even better if you catch the $1 happy hour special (which sadly they don't do anymore). We got the grilled lemon wings which were a little bland & not so lemony. The chicken nuggets are so good & flavorful, definitely recommend. Would definitely return to try some of the entrees. read more

I'm still savoring the " Best Caesar chicken Salad EVER. Dropped by for a late snack with friends visiting from out of town. I admit our expectations were not too high for the local bar- but, I'd make the 90 minute drive to have that salad again! read more

I'm in love with Cesar salad. I order it almost 2x's per week. But...I'm TIRED of getting food delivered that is poorly packaged!! My salad has arrived, yet again, COMPLETELY OPEN. I don't have to explain how unsanitary that is. Neither the restaurant or the delivery service wants to take accountability for the food arriving open. The delivery service only refunds 30% of the cost in these cases. Unacceptable, especially after waiting an hour for the food to arrive. OTB knows their packaging is faulty. That's why they began sealing their food boxes with stickers. But, it's clearly not working. And I don't know why I should have to suffer for it. There's no way I would eat food that's arrived open. So annoying!!!!!!!!! read more

I loved OTB - the service was quick, the margarita was strong, they gave me an extra oyster on the house and the wings were very tasty! The biggest seller for me though was that the next day I was walking by in a completely different outfit and the waiter said, "No wings today?" and laughed. THAT is stellar service. Will be returning. read more

Amazing food. Amazing cocktails and drink menu. I don't even live on the east coast anymore, but when I come back to visit NY, this is a must-go-to stop.

I literally miss and crave this sandwich all the time. read more

Ordered delivery on Seamless from OTB because I was craving the comfort of some good ol' fried chicken and mac & cheese. Added a Caesar salad because I thought at least that has "some veggie" in it. Food was delivered early and came neatly packaged. There was a lovely note written on the bag--which was a nice, personalized touch. The food was hot and generously portioned. Caesar salad was tasty and crisp with shavings of parm. Chicken nuggets were delicious, juicy and perfectly light / crunchy--even after their trip over to me. The honey mustard was also surprisingly spicy--which I actually enjoyed and was nice to know it was homemade. The star of the show for me was the mac & cheese. I got the gruyere with truffle salt. Was delicious and just what I wanted. Prob one of the best mac and cheese I've had in a long time. All in all, was genuinely impressed by the quality and thought for the prices. Would definitely order again and hope to support in person soon :) read more
