This place is a dump and smells like a garbage truck on a hot summer day. The service sucks and the guy who claims to be the owner is rude, definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. I could smell the stench on my cloths hours after leaving. Once was enough and will never go again.

Alright so I’ve worked in this area 22 years. My buddy of mine comes here all the time last 18 years so I decided to finally stop by for a beer. The spot is great!! The vibe is cool. There’s a ton of things to do. So saying that. I am not a smoker. Cant stand it honestly but I deal with it on a night out. So I’ll get into that… I read a comment were owner said he keeps it for the people who’s kept him open and I can definitely respect that. But what about all new money can bring in if couldn’t smoke. This is 2025. Nowhere allows smoking anymore. Maybe build a nice tiki in the back? They’ll bring their drinks and have a smoke. Tbh is area is building like crazy and this only place that offers what it does. Can make best of both worlds. I enjoyed my time here. But I’ll have to be in mood to deal with it.

If you can get past the smoke this would be a great sports bar. Prices and service was good. If they ditch the inside smoking I would definitely go there for games.

Never been here but after reading owners reply back to the " black " complaining he got poor service bc he's black makes me want to go check the place out . I found the people who scream racism are the only racists . I'll visit this bar Saturday and give a review

I walked in the bathroom to see people snorting crack coke Cain was not a good experience really disappointing. I thought I would see better from the reviews. I will never go back again. I was embarrassed to bring my family there.

It would be very helpful if you let people know its a no-blacks-allowed establishment in the description of this place.
Edit: Obviously im not referring to the “no colors” on the door, i am referring to the terrible customer service my buddies and I received. We were looked at and treated as if we werent allowed to be inside of the bar; while every one else received great hospitality.

Really liked it. Great atmosphere, lots of space, you're allowed to smoke, which we liked because not a lot of places do that anymore. Free pool on Tuesday when I was there. I'll definitely be back. Didn't want to be that guy taking pictures, but I did think it was funny that the bathroom doors had a personality that lets just say made me feel at home during these confusing times lolYou'll get no more pictures from me. Come down and hang out. I spent more money than I should have in the jukebox and by the end of the night someone put in about $20 worth of Old old country, which I could take for about an hour and a half until it killed my mood, but we were there for hours anyway. Be prepared to look for the place. There is a sign you have to follow down an alley way and the place didn't have a colorful sign or lights that really helped with that at the evening. Made me feel like I found a secret place that only the worthy could find lol Industrial?Oh, and do try the boxing ? machine to test your strength, but it's $1 per swing.

Parking: Do look for the sign and follow it to the back. Harder for me to find after dark having never there before.

I love it at Outlook because it is open late, long karaoke til late, the best karaoke, lots of great singers. The entire place is always clean. I've noticed that every single time. The tables, the bathrooms. Very cool designs and artwork all over. Lots of pool tables. Love the DJs and bartenders. Thank you for having a place to hang out and listen to music past 9 or 10pm. Before your spot, there was literally nowhere.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Found it accidentally and couldn't be more excited. THE BEST bar staff, friendliest patrons who welcomed us with open arms. THE cleanest and BEST bathrooms around! If we lived here it would be our hometown bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right in. Bathrooms are amazing.
