Old Town Tavern

OTT & UCSB rocks!  I had such a super fun night tonight!!!  Thank you Dolores and Brian!  This is the only place to go every week in sleepy summer SB!  Thank you again!  Party, party party!!!

The four years I went to college at UCSB, I never went to OTT. Although I heard good things about it, I just never got the chance to go. Also, I'm just too shy to be singing in front of people.

Fast forward 3 years.

1st time at OTT on Wednesday. It wasn't that crowded. Looked through the song list, chose a few songs and gave it to the DJ. We got a few tall beers (Blue Moon $9), and waited for our songs. Soon after, the DJ was no longer accepting songs, lucky for us!

Needless to say, after a few drinks, and seeing that "singing" was more of yelling. And if you choose a popular song, everyone will chime in. I felt better about the songs we were about to sing. I had so much fun that night that I understood why everyone had so much fun.

2nd time OTT on Wednesday. SO crowded! Barely able to walk through the crowd. Bathrooms took forever, even some girl cut EVERYONE in line just to use the bathroom. Besides that, it was still fun!

Go to OTT with a group of friends if you are shy about singing as I am. Go to OTT for an awesome night full of yelling, the good kind of yelling.

Oh Karaoke (Wed., Fri., Sat) is fun here and the tall beers (even of the good stuff) are cheap. Beware the Wednesday college night crowds though. When it's not a karaoke bar, fear not; there would pretty reliably be one or two grizzled veteran drinkers hanging out as a biked past at 10:30 AM.

PS memo to the G-Man (Karaoke MC), you're too old to hit on college age girls!
