Every now and then there’s a new cool, hipster place. When it gets old, another new one always steps in. Somehow Otsar has managed to remain the new kid on the block, even though it’s been open for more than a year: It’s crowded every weekend, and always the hot place to be. I’m not sure what it is about it: maybe the minimalistic design with the benches that make you feel like you’re waiting for the dentist, or the trendy DJs, or the special events they throw out every now and then, like movie and stand-up nights.
The music is this weird mix of electronic and trash, but somehow it works: the dance floor is always packed and people are actually dancing, rather than standing with a drink in their hand and trying to look good. Maybe that’s why I like it so much…
There’s no food there, but if you’re hungry you can always go to one of the so-many-restaurants-around, grab a bite and go back to dancing. Highly recommended for a drunk Thursday night. Just wear something black and hit the dance floor!
