20% of the open slots recorded at Ox + Tiger fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 1,031 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.
51% of what opens up here is 9:00 PM or later, so a late dinner will get you in faster than waiting for a different date.
The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 9:00 PM.
We have never once seen a Tuesday or a Wednesday come open, which usually means Ox + Tiger is closed then rather than simply full.
Sundays are the softest night on this calendar, open 78% of the times we checked, against 2% on Thursdays. Moving your plan by one weekday is often worth more than moving it by a month.
Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking.

What is the best way to book Ox + Tiger?
- Check what is open at Ox + Tiger right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Tock. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
- Aim at a Sunday. Sundays are the softest night on Ox + Tiger's calendar in our data, open 78% of the times we checked, against 2% on Thursdays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
- Widen your time to include 9:00 PM. 9:00 PM is the slot that opens most often at Ox + Tiger. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Ox + Tiger on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Tock.

- What is the best party size to book Ox + Tiger?
- Two and four sit close together at Ox + Tiger in our data, 40% of the window open for two against 47% for four, a gap too small to plan around, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
- Is Ox + Tiger open on Tuesday?
- We have never recorded an open table at Ox + Tiger on a Tuesday or a Wednesday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
- What time do Ox + Tiger tickets open?
- Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. We have not yet measured a fixed drop time for Ox + Tiger, so we do not claim one. SnagRes rechecks it throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule drops.
- How far ahead does Ox + Tiger release tables?
- The furthest-out date we have seen bookable at Ox + Tiger was 30 days ahead, so its window runs roughly that far. New dates land at the far edge and cancellations surface in between, which is why watching beats checking once.
- Which booking platform does Ox + Tiger use?
- Ox + Tiger takes tickets on Tock. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. SnagRes rechecks Tock for Ox + Tiger throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
- Can you walk in at Ox + Tiger?
- SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Ox + Tiger. Many rooms do hold a few seats for walk-ins, often early or at the bar, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather lock in a table, star Ox + Tiger and we will email you the moment a reservation opens.
- Is using a reservation alert legal?
- Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on Tock, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
- Does SnagRes book Ox + Tiger for me?
- No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Ox + Tiger and links you straight to Tock with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
