Otter on the Rocks

Seattle, we’re raising a glass to you 🥂

It’s Seattle Cocktail Week and we’re celebrating the way we know best—thoughtful drinks, bold flavors, and a little bit of magic behind the bar.

✨ Wanderlust: K**b Creek Rye, Planteray Aged Rum, pandan, passion fruit, Aveze, Angostura bitters
✨ She’s So Fine: Planteray 3 Stars, house lacto-fermented pineapple, salted plum, lime, shiso

Two cocktails, two moods—both crafted to capture that Otter on the Rocks energy.

Come through, try something new, and celebrate the city that keeps us inspired every day.

Seattle Cocktail Week is right around the corner, and you KNOW we had to show up with a brand new spring menu! 🌸🍹

We’ve been fermenting, infusing, and liqueur-making our asses off to bring you some of the best spring sips in Seattle! We can’t wait for you to taste what we’ve been cooking up.

Share this with your bestie or tag them in the comments so they know where you’re taking them this weekend! 😋

April is looking real good 🌸

Spring cocktails are almost here (we’re dialing them in 👀 and hoping this sunshine ☀️ is here to stay!) but in the meantime, the calendar is stacked:
open mic, piano nights, cocktail class& comedy.

save this + send it to your crew 🍸

Otter on the Rocks officially turned 4 this week — so we’re celebrating all weekend 🎉

To mark the occasion, we’re featuring a cocktail inspired by a Thai classic: Clarified Thai Tea.

Thai tea is known for its bold black tea, spices, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. We kept all those familiar flavors — just transformed through a milk clarification process to make it crystal clear, silky, and ultra refined.

This one took a lot of trials to get just right, but the result is something we’re really proud of: the nostalgic flavors of Thai tea, elevated into a cocktail.

We’ll also be doing free raffles all weekend:

• 4 × $50 Gift Cards
• 2 × Cocktail 101 Classes (for two)
• OOTR Dad Caps

Come celebrate 4 years of Otter on the Rocks with us 🦦

📅 This Friday & Saturday

If you’ve been with us over the years — what’s your favorite OOTR drink or memory?

Somehow we’re turning FOUR today!! 🥂

When we opened OOTR, we thought we were building a cocktail bar... and we did! But then it evolved into something so much more than that. A living room for strangers, a place where first dates turn into anniversaries, and a local spot where people come in alone and leave with new friends.

Running a small business is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But OOTR exists because of all of you. Your love and support built this place just as much as I did.

Roll through this Friday and Saturday to celebrate with an anniversary cocktail and some free raffle prizes. We can’t wait to see you.

Thank you for four years of love. 🎉

March at OOTR 🦦

Open mic magic.
Chaotic piano sing-alongs.
Cocktail classes that may leave you wanting more.
Sold-out comedy that hurts (in a good way).

Also… we’re turning FOUR 👀
Anniversary weekend coming soon.

Your midweek escape lives here. See you in March. ✨

Ever come back from a trip with an idea you could not let go of?

This January, Paris got stuck in my head. Not just the city, but the feeling of it. Soft, elegant, restrained. And when I got home, I kept wondering what would happen if I brought that energy to the bold, expressive flavors of Thailand.

Siam Society is delicate, bright, a little unexpected, and deeply rooted in contrast. Thai rum “ya dong,” ginger, Thai coconut water, OOTR falernum, and Dolin Chamberyzette all somehow meet in the middle and make something that feels greater than the sum of its parts.

A cocktail built on curiosity, memory, and the strange magic of mixing two things that should not work... until they absolutely do.

💘 Meet our Valentine’s special: low-ABV, light, sophisticated, and a little spicy. Basically the ideal Seattle date.

She wants to be taken seriously, still have fun, and not waste anyone’s time. Chocolate-covered strawberry 🍓 included — because effort matters. 💅

Every bar owner “hates” Dry January and then a DM like this comes in and you remember what the job actually is: hospitality.

If you’ve ever been made to feel weird for ordering N/A drinks at another bar, we’re sorry and we got you!

Dry January, sober, pregnant, “just not feelin’ it tonight”… you’re a REAL customer and we’ll treat you like one. We’ve got a full N/A menu ready to go and the vibes are the same: cozy, intentional, zero pressure.

Drop a 🍹 if you’re doing Dry January, or tell us: what’s your go-to non-alcoholic drink order?

🎉 Welcome 2026! We’re sticking to our routine this month with an addition of some non-alcoholic cocktails to kick off the year for some of us. 😎

Low tickets for our Cocktail 101 class this month!
