Do you ever read reviews
of a place, go there and wonder if you have walked into the same joint
you read about? Everything we read about Otis said they had good drink
deals. Then how come a beer and one mixed well drink cost us $14?
Sometimes bars need to wake up and realize their place in the world.
Otis is in Hell's Kitchen for god's sake! Granted, the neighborhood
has come a long way in the past few years, but give us a break. This
largish loungy space tries to recreate a downtown atmosphere in what
used to be an area riddled with Irish gangs and prostitutes. What
it really does is provide a place for the now yuppie locals who are
too lazy to jump on the downtown 1/9 to gather on Fridays after changing
out of their suits and skirts. It's also just a wee bui too close
to the Lincoln Tunnel to avoid those Jersey stragglers who think the
candlelit atmosphere might hide the giant hair creature propped on
their heads. [MF] |
