Earlier this year, the Ottawa Tavern introduced the Dr. Reed, a pitcher of ice, filled with PBR and a handful of limes. It was introduced to us by Dustin Hostetler, who brought it from Chicago where it was invented by Harper Reed. Since then, we’ve expanded our selection to include 6 “Reed” pitchers.

Earlier this summer, Dustin Hostetler (one of our favorite customers and facilitator of the Dr. Reed coming to the Ottawa Tavern) shot a video of a bike ride from the Old West End to the Ottawa Tavern. Music by GoLab (more favorites of ours).

[ September 10, 2010; 10:00 pm; ] Antics, funny business, horseplay, high jinks, and monkeyshines are promised as Wait, Wait…Don’t Touch Me return to the Ottawa Tavern after entirely too much time away. Wait. Am I allowed to say that even though it’s me I’m talking about. Is that weird? That’s totally weird. And I’m not really “returning” to the OT. I [...]

I’m not exactly sure why it took us so long to book The Forest (maybe it was Dan’s metal hair) or why they never approached us even though many of them rank as some of most frequent regulars, but after we saw them play, we knew we needed to get them into the OT. Finally.

Oh, man! This night’s gonna get crazy. MC Habitat makes his OT debut with Draw Blood (his new band of Toledo all-stars often found in various bands and bars around town). Without a doubt these guys will be spilling off the stage and we couldn’t be happier about it. On top of that, Lord Grunge [...]

OT’s super excited to bring these guys back to town. Columbus, Ohio’s Monolithic Cloud Parade was born in Corey Fry’s head before he could play an instrument. His head must be kind of a strange place. Corey told the Other Paper their first album “tells the story of a pack of turn-of-the-century carnival freak show children [...]

DIG! (2004)
Documentarian Ondi Timoner spent seven years (and 1,500 hours of footage) chronicling the rise of two rival musicians – Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Courtney Taylor of the Dandy Warhols – both of whom were intent on carving out their own piece of the highly volatile and unpredictable music business. The [...]

“Maybe it’s that dirty garage sound offset by those mesmerizing, multi-tiered vocals (everybody sings! at once sometimes!), or maybe it’s the dark, smirking lyrics. Not sure, but there’s something really right about the way this Philly four-piece thinks rock ‘n’ roll should sound. Univox’s new self-titled debut is an ambitious and confident opening statement: clever, [...]
