Here\u2019s everything you need to know to make yourself at home at Town Hall\u2019s newest bar:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>When is the Otto open?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout Homecoming (September 2 &#8211; 29, 2019), <\/span><b>the Otto is<\/b> <b>open most event nights from 5:30pm &#8211; 10:30pm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Exceptions are below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Otto is <\/span><b>closed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Tuesday 9\/3, Sunday 9\/15, Tuesday, 9\/17, and Friday 9\/27.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Otto has <\/span><b>different hours<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Saturday 9\/7 (1:30pm &#8211; 10:30pm), Sunday 9\/8 (3pm &#8211; 7:30pm), Saturday 9\/21 (3:30pm &#8211; 10:30pm), Sunday 9\/22 (3pm &#8211; 7:30pm), and Sunday 9\/29 (5:30pm &#8211; 7:30pm).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>What does the Otto serve?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can purchase beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. You can also bring in your own snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please note: Guests are not allowed to bring their own alcohol, and any alcohol purchased at Town Hall must be consumed on the premises in a safe and responsible manner. Town Hall staff will refuse sale to impaired or underage guests.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Is the Otto an all-ages space?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes! Everyone is welcome at the Otto.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Is the Otto open while there\u2019s an event in the Forum?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Service is usually paused during Forum events, but the space is still open. (You\u2019re welcome to buy a ticket for the night\u2019s program and stick around.) On evenings where there is a program in the Great Hall, but not the Forum, the Otto remains open for service throughout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How did the Otto get its name?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Otto is named after Otto Haas, the beloved grandfather of Duncan Haas of the Wyncote Foundation NW. Duncan is a visionary investor in Town Hall and gave a naming gift for the Forum during the renovation. It seemed fitting to honor his grandfather\u2019s memory within the space!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What\u2019s up with the wood on the bar?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The bar is made from reclaimed organ pipes from our old organ loft. (You can find even more of our former organ transformed into benches throughout the space and as a sculpture in the Reading Room.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located in the Forum, the Otto is a great spot to meet with friends before an event or keep the conversation going afterward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45398,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,9,26,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-featured","category-if-these-halls-could-talk","category-town-crier"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
