The Ottobar is a live music venue in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Ottobar started in the downtown city hall area of Baltimore in September 1997. The original club is referred to as the Davis Street Ottobar for the address of the original club. It was a very small venue originally, but provided an intimate showroom for live music and performance art and therefore gained popularity with audiences and attendees over time.

The Davis Street Ottobar closed on November 17th 2001. Later that same November, the Ottobar reopened in the Lower Charles Village neighborhood of Baltimore at 2549 North Howard Street. The venue now hosts local and national musical and performing artists. Watchoutwikiwiki (talk) 00:38, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

The Ottobar is notable for being a venue that serves as a cultural hub to the city of Baltimore. It host music, performance art, and local festivals for the community at large and brings national and international talent to the city. Watchoutwikiwiki (talk) 00:47, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I was not aware that the bot would look to compare copy on the page... I was actually attempting to place a citation or reference on the page... this is my first article but should not be deleted because the Ottobar is truly a cultural icon for the city and serves as a venue much like CBGBs in New York or the old 9:30 Club in DC. It deserves a mention as it is the home for launching new artists from the Baltimore area and the place that brings the majority of the relevant and important independent musicians and artists to the city and surrounding community.

Please... Do not delete this page... edit it for sure if you wish... but do not delete this because I don't know how to insert a proper citation.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ottobar
A tag has been placed on Ottobar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  ttonyb (talk) 00:28, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
