the Outsider • sports lounge

"UPDATED REVIEW VISIT 11/19/23 The male bartender with the mustache really needs a personality he’s very rude and acts like he hates his job. If you order a mixed drink he uses the excuse to the servers that he might be out of that stuff. It’s lounge bar. Do better this isn’t the first time he’s had an attitude he acts like customers are an inconvenience to him. Please STOP allowing customers to bring dogs inside where people are eating and enjoying themselves. One it is against health codes two it’s disgusting three consider those with allergies."

"Love this place! It’s such an inviting atmosphere and the specialty drinks are freaking delicious. I had the Hammerin’ Hank and Red Ricky. The staff is super friendly. Our server Emily was fun and cheerful (Very beautiful, I might add). She kept our drinks coming out! I can’t remember the last time we had a server so attentive. Something our whole table appreciated. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!"

"We love the The Outsider! Great atmosphere! Such a great place to watch any game you want! Love the pop a shot basketball game as well! We have been several times. Adeline has always been the best server! Great suggestions and alway smiling and very helpful! She is great!"

"The Outsider was the best place to go watch the Iron Bowl this past weekend due to their great atmosphere. Kirstyn was the sweetest bartender! She was extremely busy, but at the same time checked on us throughout the game to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything. Make sure to ask for Kirstyn the next time you go, she is the best!"

"I’ve been to the Outsider numerous times for drinks with the girls and big events. The drinks have never been worth the price they charge. But I liked the atmosphere.. until today. I checked Yelp and online to see if they were “dog friendly” and could not find anything. So I came in with my ESA dog around 4:30p when there wasn’t really any customers. Ordered food from the Insider (next door). Sat down in the Outsider. It took at least 15 minutes before one of the 4 bartenders came over to take my drink order. Of course she talked to my dog and he got excited and jumped on her. I immediately controlled him. She proceeded to take my drink order. I get my food and drink and am almost done with my meal. A worker came over and asked if my dog was a service dog. I let the worker know that he was not but he is my ESA. He implied I sit outside. I had a couple bites left and figured I would finish enjoying my $12 meal and $13 drink. About 5 minutes later a different worker approached me very aggressively stating that me and my dog are not welcome in there because my dog jumped on a server and followed that statement with “I’m not suggesting you leave, I’m telling you to”. Very rude and unprofessional manners. If the server that took my order told me they were not dog friendly before she took my order then I would have left but they then but they waited until I was almost done with my meal and handled the situation very unprofessionally. This place will no longer be a recommendation of mine."
