The menu of Mediterranean and Spanish cuisines under the direction of the great chef are wonderful at this place. Try perfectly cooked grilled octopus, mussels and garlic shrimps. The cooks here prepare tasty tres leches cakes. You will hardly forget good red sangria, coffee martini or margaritas that you can find. This bar has delicious espresso among its drinks.
The homely atmosphere of OctoBar allows guests to relax after a hard working day. The staff is said to be efficient here. Enjoyable service is a strong point that plays a great role for the success of this place. Prices here are reported to be average. As a number of visitors remark, the decor at this spot is nice. 4.6 is what this bar received from the Google rating system.

I rate all restaurants based on how they compare to similar places. This is basically a dive bar vibe with elevated food. Service was great, cocktails were well made and creative and the food was outstanding and varied. We will be back... I suspect regularly! Bonus... Prices a very reasonable. Most craft cocktails are $12-14. The food was also a good value. Service: 5 nothing fancy... Just efficient and friendly. Meal type: Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

It has been a long while since I have been to a place this hit or miss food-wise. The Moroccan lamb skewers and wild mushrooms were great, the manchego tortellini and grilled street corn were memorable, but everything else we ordered at one Michelin star prices (our food was about $200 including tip) was mid, forgettable, or just plain weird. I would skip the 5 pan con tomate, stuffed pepadews, beef empanadas, and octopus ceviche next time, because, in my opinion, they were competent but had no real spark to them. I would skip the Spanish mussels since they were next-to-impossible to get out of the shell and just order the gambas al ajillo only if really in the mood for shrimp, as the sauce was mid. What was so weird to me is that the gambas, mussels, and paella valenciana (!) were all drowning in the same mid marinara-like sauce. The paella valenciana, in my opinion, was just straight up false advertising; not only was the texture was all wrong, with the wildly out of place red sauce turning the dish to mush, it had mussels in it for some reason and no rabbit, the traditional signature of the dish. I kind of left the restaurant feeling like I had been robbed, but I will say that the ambiance they created was very on point. The tables were spacious and well-separated, the decor was very nice, and the vibe was quiet and comfortable. They did have screens but tastefully done with subtitles only; it turned out my date was able to watch some Olympic figure skating she had been wanting to catch which was cool. The service was fine but should have been perfect for the amount of money we paid, at the very least they should have staggered the presentation appropriately instead of trying to dump everything on our table at once.

Octobar is one of my favorite spots in Federal Hill! Not only for its incredible food and drink selection, but for its truly outstanding service. I had to plan a last-minute going-away party, and Octavio made the entire process completely seamless. He handled every detail, from arranging the bartender to creating a custom drink menu featuring our favorite cocktails, and even made it easy for everyone to pay their tabs individually. The experience was truly one of a kind. I highly recommend booking Octobar whether you’re planning a night out for dinner and drinks or hosting a special gathering.
