Otter on the Rocks Events
While our core concept is crafting proper cocktails, we also strive to host events with the intention of bringing the community together, including musicians, comedians, friends and family. We want everyone to feel welcome in our space and hope to bring fun, new friends, and fabulous cocktails to the neighborhood!

Open Mic Night
EVERY OTHER TUESDAY
We host our Otter Open Mic every other Tuesday. See calendar for exact dates. We often have two hosts: the Midnight Marauders and Michale Pearsall, who are both local to West Seattle and very active in the music community. We welcome all genres, including acoustic, electric, hiphop, poetry, comedy and more. You’d be amazed to see the talent here at any given night. We are very proud to continue developing this local Open Mic community!

Dueling Piano (minus one)
EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY
Dueling piano vibes with a single pianist - This is the newest event for us at Otter on the Rocks. We have brought this on because it’s a fun, interactive vibe! You, as the audience, can request any song you want and we play it on the piano… anything from Bohemian Rhapsody to the Mulan soundtrack. Drink, sing along, and have fun!

Comedy Night
THIRD MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH
We host this on the third Monday of every month. See calendar for exact dates. Cozy Comedy, a local West Seattle comedy host, brings in regional and national headliners to our space. We have sold out every single comedy night here so be sure to get your tickets early and that’s no joke!
