O. T.'s Neighborhood Sports Grill was a bar and restaurant located at 720 29th Street South in Lakeview. It was owned by Wayne Ellis and, like its neighbor, Lou's Pub and Package Store, was one of the few establishments licensed to serve alcohol at outdoor tables abutting the sidewalk. The restaurant's name was derived from Ellis' nickname, "Old Timer".
O. T.'s was established in 2001. It closed in August 2008 and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation, citing debts in excess of $100,000 and assets of less than $50,000.
