On Saturday, Otto's Shrunken Head celebrated 20 years in business here at 538 E. 14th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B.

EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by the tiki-themed venue and met up with owners Nell Mellon, who was sporting a variety of Otto's anniversary shirts...
... and Steve Pang and Patricia Lou ...
... and a few of the guests enjoying some free food and swag...
You can follow the Otto's Instagram account (or visit the website) to keep tabs on the live events here, including an array of bands playing anything from lounge/exotica to rockabilly, punk and surf.

    I was there! It was a blast! Got to see a lot of my old friends. I will be performing there on Sunday 10/23 as a one man band. I hope to see you all there then as well!

    I remember when that spot was an actual Pharmacy!! A really good one two!! The guy’s that ran it always had more affordable generic prescription choices!! I’m not a patron of “Otto’s” but I wish them my heartfelt congratulations 🎉🎈🎊🍾 and I wish them 20 more!! So tired of seeing empty storefronts!!
