Outtakes Bar & Grill

We thought we would try out a local bar, It was bingo night. We seated ourselves.
Our waitress was no were to be seen. After a few minutes I made eye contact with the bar tender and he brought us menus.
The atmosphere was not very welcoming with no music playing.
We thought we’d play a game of bingo while we waited for our/​any waitress. She decided to show up mid (which was hard to hear) game looking like she didn’t want to be there. We asked for two beers. she said happy hour starts in 12 minutes if we wanted to wait to save a $ 1 off our drinks… Ha! I said no thanks I’ve been waiting awhile already so I’d just like my drink now.
We ordered the chicken nachos with guac & the fish tacos.
While we waited for our food. The bingo game ended for the night… Now the atmosphere felt even more strange… Silence with random chatter… Empty glasses on our table.
When our food arrived the nachos were without our chicken or guac. And was just a plate of chips with a very small amount of cheese microwaved on top.
We’re hardly ever send food back to the kitchen but for $ 10.99 we didn’t want to eat or pay for that crap. The fish tacos were ok… And we were real hungry at this point. Lol.
I noticed our waitress across the other side of the bar on her phone.
After around 7 – 10 mins she asked how things were and said she was having ‘trouble’ with the kitchen tonite. She brought us some free queso… Which was cold… Weird cause it was melted and cold!??
We did not see the waitress walk past again so ordered one more beer from the bar tender and asked for our bill.
Luckily we had a $ 5 off coupon which helped take the sting out of our lousy experience.
Overall bad service, food and atmosphere in this place.
Won’t be back!

The space is average but clean and service was friendly. However, a good deal of conversation was spend trying to decide if our pizza was store-​bought and reheated, or if it was just the crust that was prepackaged. I took the last few slices home and haven’t yet decided if there’s any reason to save them as a leftover or if the bland, unimpressive pizza is just destined to get tossed. I ended the night feeling bad picking the place because of its convenient location.

It was 11:30 on the afternoon before the famous Minnesota Autumn Brew Review and my wife and I had a groupon for $ 20 at Outtakes. I needed a base.
We entered and I was immediately impressed by all the TV screens lining the walls above the bar. Everywhere you sit, you have a good view of multiple TVs. Love it.
They had about 10 beers on tap, and most of them were craft beers. Score. I ordered a Surly Furious to start off. SOLID beer, in a cold mug = Heaven. I ordered a garbage flatbread with no cheese. About 10 bucks. Bot bad.
The bartender was nice and was going about her business as I ordered my second beer. This time I went with a Fulton Lonely Blonde. Great local beer. (Check out their tap room by Target Field, BTW)
The flatbread was store bought, but not bad and the sauce was solid. The toppings looked pretty ordinary, but it was a good flatbread.
My wife’s Diet Pepsi got refilled often, and it was a great start to a wonderful and perfect Minnesota Fall day.
I was going to go 3 stars, but I liked the décor and the movie theme to the joint. Also, big beers were $ 6. Not cheap, but definitely not horrible.

This is a local bar/​grill in New Hope.
The service is a bit spotty but the food is pretty good and they have a decent bar.
If your not in a rush, want some decent food check this place out. I know one of the waiters and I think he does a great job. I just wish they had more like him!
I am fan of local businesses so I am excited there is something else locals can check out.
The menu is a bit pricey IMO but, not unreasonable.

Went out for a drink and some apps to enjoy the nice weather on the patio and sat for 15 minutes and were never acknowledged. The music was loud on the patio and if seemed there was no one working. Once staff walked out to the patio they chatted with another group and never even looked at us. Needless to say we walked out and went to another restaurant that wanted to serve us.

Would like to see local businesses succeed, but this one needs some improvements. Food was ok and a little overpriced. Lower everything by a dollar or two to make it more reasonable. Had my diet Pepsi refilled once, but my wife’s water was empty for most of our meal. Substitutions like turkey/​boca burgers should not cost extra, waffle fries just a buck (not $ 2).

Out takes is a bar and grill next to cinema and everything is movie themed down to the cocktails. The tap selection is pretty decent with local taps from Summit, Fulton, and the super local Surly.
The service was pretty decent even though our server was texting on her cell phone at our table as we were waiting to order. That wasn’t cool, but she was nice and pretty quick after that.
The seasoned fries with the queso were spicy and delicious! The pepper jack burger had grilled jalapeños, which I really appreciated. However the burger itself was pretty tasteless, so there’s that.
I might come back here for happy hour as it lasts pretty long. :-)

Food is nothing more than grocery-​store freezer-​bag quality that is heated up and overpriced. Weak, poorly mixed and overpriced drinks. Will not come here again.

I thought this place was new, but apparently it has been open since July. How did I miss that? It’s a nice neighborhood hangout that this town seems to be lacking. Some well-​behaved teens were playing pool and darts, which was nice to see. Our burgers were good and the prices were reasonable. Our server Fred was very busy but he had it all under control. The kitchen/​food service can sometimes take a while because they share a kitchen with the Cinema Grill next door, so if they are swamped, the food service in the restaurant takes longer too.

This place is new and still working out the kinks. Service has been inconsistent on my 5 or 6 visits since they opened a few months ago. What has been consistent is the food quality. Quesadillas, Sloppy Joes, burgers and salads are fresh. Have yet to try the pizzas. Good HH prices. Lot’s of tv’s for your favorite games, but the bar area is too bright. They should dim the lights a bit.

My husband I and like coming here to play pool and have a few drinks. I can’t comment on the food because I haven’t tried it yet.
The pool tables are new and a game is $ 1.25. Wish it were cheaper, but I guess that’s the going rate.
Happy hour specials are awesome.
I’m torn between three and four stars. I’ll go with four and update once I’ve tried the food.

Great drinks, horrible service. Our first visit there it took 10 minutes before anyone came over to greet us and to take our order. It took another 30 minutes before we saw the waitress again. No one checked in us to see if we needed anything else. We thought maybe they were just busy that night, so we decided to go back. Second time we waited 20 minutes; not one waiter, waitress nor bartender came over to take our order. We will never visit again.

Outtakes Bar & Grill is located immediately adjacent to and is an extension of Cinema Grill. The space is newly renovated with a modern industrial theme. It’s still got that new bar smell, clean and fresh! There is a reasonable selection of typical American bar fare and it’s reasonably priced. They have a pretty good array of local beers on tap. Our bartender was attentive and social.
At the time of this review, they have been open for ten days. They treated us like regulars and gave us top notch service. They made a couple of simple oversights on our orders, but were immediately responsive to correct the issue.
This is going to be a great local pub. You will be surprised that this great place is in YOUR neighborhood.
