About Otc Bar & Grille

I’m excited to introduce Otc Bar & Grille Restaurant, a lively neighborhood restaurant located at 226 E Diamond Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 20877, United States, where casual comfort meets a come-as-you-are attitude. From the moment you walk in, the place feels welcoming and relaxed, the kind of spot where conversations flow easily and nobody’s in a rush to leave. Otc Bar & Grille is built around that easygoing restaurant vibe, making it a solid choice whether you’re stopping by after work, meeting friends for happy hour, or grabbing a quick bite between errands. The menu leans into comfort food that hits the spot without trying too hard, while still offering enough variety to keep things interesting for repeat visits. If you enjoy a good drink with your meal, you’ll feel right at home here, thanks to a well-rounded selection of alcohol that includes beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits, plus happy-hour drinks that add even more reason to linger a little longer. Coffee is also available, which makes the space feel just as suitable for a laid-back daytime visit as it does for an evening hangout. Service options are flexible and practical, so whether you prefer to dine in and soak up the atmosphere, grab takeaway on the go, or order delivery for a relaxed night at home, it fits smoothly into your routine. Vegetarian options are part of the lineup as well, making it easier for groups with different tastes to settle in comfortably. Happy-hour food and quick bites make spontaneous plans easy, especially when you want flavor without a long wait. What really stands out is how effortlessly everything comes together, the food, the drinks, the service, and the setting all working in sync to create a place that feels familiar even on your first visit, and that’s exactly what makes Otc Bar & Grille a go-to restaurant in the Gaithersburg area.

A magnificent transformation for the Old Towne Cafe. The counter has been replaced by a big dining room but is remembered in a wonderful mural. Additional staff ensure that more patrons can be served. Love it!

OTC is my favorite place to eat in Gaithersburg, my husband and I wish it was open more nights a week! The chopped cheese, coconut shrimp, wings, pancakes, scrapple, nachos, are all amazing - I could go on and on. We love OTC soo much. On top of the food being great, the atmosphere is so fun and great for adults and kids.

Awesome low-key restaurant in old town Gaithersburg. Lots of TVs for watching sports. Recommend by a few friends, I decided to try their burger and wow, burger was perfect. I had the Bang Bang burger and it was perfect for those, like me, who love spicy food.

Decided to finally stop in and check out OTC and man am I glad I did! Really nice low-key bar. The happy hour menu is awesome, and the burgers here and absolutely phenomenal!! I’ve been looking for a great homemade (non-chain restaurant) burger for a while and I have finally found the place to get it..OTC Bar & Grille (the french fries and great too)! The staff here is very welcoming and friendly as well! I’ve been twice this weekend and can’t wait to get back!

As someone who just relocated from NJ all I can do is say thank you! Food in Maryland isn’t top tier let alone bar food, but OTC’s…. They remind me of home. Wings A-1! Not only were they fried hard the sauces were great! Also the service was phenomenal! The waiters were so pleasant and I wish we got everyone’s name today, 10/18/25 but thank you girls for giving us a new spot! I’ll

Stopped by for lunch today and enjoyed a delicious cheese steak and fries, and the service was great. The cheese steak came with a toasted bun, fresh lettuce, mayo, and grilled onions. With the generous allotment of hot sauce at the table, I was in heaven. Fries were crisp and well salted. Really satisfying meal after a day of riding. Place has a sports bar / family restaurant vibe with lots of TVs behind the bar and well spaced tables and two-tops on the main floor. Tayler (I think that's her name) was a great waitress, friendly and attentive, even while juggling all the tables and even some bar patrons. Nice place to check out for breakfast or lunch for sure.
