Can you handle the sugar challenge? Spend a day and go through every single specialty drink on the menu and level up with +3 diabetes!

Red & Brown

The OG of NYC tiki bars . Order whatever looks good, you can't go wrong. Bonus points for getting to take the mug home with you (if you want).

John C

The bartenders are great, and so are the drinks. Collect all the tiki mugs if you can: its a great excuse to try every drink they make. Good music too! And did i mention the great bartenders ?

Andie Sleeman

I freakin love this bar . The cocktails are fun. The atmosphere is odd & entertaining. I bring all NYC visitors here that want a uniquely New York experience.

Alex Still

One of the last OG East Village dives. Have a tiki drink , see your friends band, you’ll have a great time.

Allison

If you like dark & stormy 's, try their version: the stormy skull ! Little plastic monkeys that are added hanging off the side of your glass are a plus!

eme

Laid back tiki bar with a punk rock/rockabilly/psychobilly crowd. They have a huge back room that they show movies in and give out free popcorn . Photobooth op too.

Edwin Ramoran

Father Vincent is at the door. Respect him and the Otto's staff and musical talent, and you will have the time of your life! Exotic drinks and tiki-decor cup takeaways are a real deal! Music reigns.

Anna Hyclak

Tiki mugs are great for coffee , too, just sayin' (especially the Yorick-esque skull one). Steal 'em from the bar and take 'em home with you! Oh, and look out for the tattooed "Rebel of Wall Street."

NYC Punk

Cool spot if you are local or passing through. The best times to go are on Thursday for Move Your Mule ska night or once a month of Fridays they have their rockabilly themed night.

Jim Taylor

With live music , comedy and open mic nights in the back room, you can either come here for a show or come here to get your drink on in a cheap & fun fashion. Read more

Get the Pinky's Punch if you like surprises. Don't forget to visit the photo booth before you leave!

The Corcoran Group

Grab a Singapore Sling and get your picture taken in the Photo Booth . Check out Cine Meccanica on Tuesday nights for trashy biker/classic car themed movies .

Nate Folkert

piña piña is a very good piña colada mocktail

Steve LeVine

The Tiki drinks , the music and the overall vibe are just plain fun!

Anthony Duran

Very helpful, trusting and amazing staff along with amazing cocktails in a sick dive with traditional little tiki heads!!!

ᴡ Meza

Fun cash only place that has amazing tiki glasses you can keep for $6!!

Men's Health Mag

Don’t leave this bar without ordering The Slice of Heaven. Only available for a half hour starting every Saturday night around 2:30 a.m., deep friend bacon and a shot of your choice. Nuff said, right?

Christina

Cash only . Otto's Octane is tasty and the bartender has a heavy hand. The place reminds me a lot of Bourbon st. in New Orleans

Harry Raymond

Live music in the back. Embrace the weird and you'll have a good time.

Justin

The staff are lovely, the music selection is great, the drinks will knock you on your arse! Take home your tiki mug !

Harry Raymond

This place is lovably weird. Live music and tiki drinks . Age of the crowd ranges dramatically.

Steff Hind

Happy hour 6 - 8 bogof on well drinks and beer but make sure you ask for the happy hour deals .

Rudimus Radimus Ramulus

My NYC home base bar . Order my tiki creation (that is still on the menu) the Ruby Jewels. Ca-CAW! Ca-CAW!

Jaycob Burns

Worth coming for just to buy one of their mugs

Old school photo booth in the back

Have a Tiki Drink and get your picture taken in the real (not digital) vintage black & white photo booth .

Alex Robertson

Tiki drinks ain't cheap but I love this place.

David Holtz

The entire music scene in the back is such a scene...in the best way possible.

Laura Gorman

Dive bar with live music , mixed drinks and cocktails . If you like tiki bars this place is for you.

Village Voice

Winner of Best Tiki Bar in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Stay for bacon and a shot at 2:30 AM Saturdays!

Cindy Chin

Definitely need to catch "No Name & a Bag of Chip "...the best stand up comedy show ever on Fridays - 2x a month. It's free with no drink minimum.

DoubleDeuce

Come for the live music . Insist on any beverage that comes with a drink monkey.

Michael

Cozy tiki bar / dive with live music and fun staff .

Susan Loh

Live music kicks off around 9pm so if you're not a fan of hardcore punk rock , consider coming up with a Plan B.

Alex Fish

The tiki drinks are hangovers in a glass...however, quite delicious

Nora Regis

The bar I've been dreaming about existing/being able to go to since I was 14 and obsessed with the Ramones.

Peter N

Awesome Tiki bar and great/horrible punk bands.

Ashley Miller

Come with friends and get the cocktails . They are fun!

Desiree Frieson

The drinks are a bit pricey for a tikki bar .

Lauren Rasnake

Best escape from the city ever!!! I felt a million miles away on a tropical island !

Craig Austin

Very interesting place. Not the same old standard EV drinking crowd. Unique drinks, too.

Genna

If and when you come order pang's punch it looks ridiculous and you will laugh when you get it but you won't be able to stop drinking them all night

Kelsey Goldman

Late night Saturdays, Zofia is the one of best bartenders in the east village ! stop in and see her!

Alyssa Bereznak

ok, obsessed with all the sweet ceramic glassware . drinks will get you right drunk too

Andy Jiang

Come at 3pm for a fun open mic with the one and only Jimmy Peoples!

Kate Jacobs

They have one of the few remaining old-school photobooths in the city . It's expensive , though -- $5!
