Outlaws Saloon

Good drink prices in a classic country dive dance-​hall. On weekdays the locals can be a pretty off-​putting territorial crowd, but that goes away in the crowded weekend nights. Make sure you have a Designated Driver, because it is off-​the-​beaten-​track! Hard to find, and hard to get home from!

On my quest to try all the bars in the DFW area, I was told I should check out Outlaws. Despite my reservations of spending a few hours in a country bar, I decided to give it a try.
First, if you try and find this place using Google Maps on your cell phone, forget it, you’ll end up on the wrong side of I20 several miles in the wrong direction. Make sure you know where you are going first! Google Maps online seems to have it properly located.
The outside looks like a big barn and inside, well, surprisingly nice. Mostly wood throughout, gives that country feel. There’s a stage at the far end of the building and a long bar down the right side.
I was looked after all night by Angela who, despite being rushed off her feet most of the night, made sure my bottle was never empty without offering a new one.
The live band wasn’t so loud that it basted your ears and between sets the jukebox played some definitely not country music, so this really is a place for all types of people who just want to relax and hang out.
Several pool tables were available too.
Smoking is allowed but there were plenty of fans and the building large enough that it really didn’t bother me. I didn’t notice until the next day that my clothes were smokey so wasn’t much of a big deal but I still prefer non-​smoking places.
Over the bar were 5 TVs all showing the same thing, that ended up being lacrosse!
I was standing near where the waitresses come to pick up their orders, but none of them bothered to say hi or anything while I was waiting, could have been a little friendlier and engaging which is why I’m knocking a star off, and for the smoking and owners not making sure Google maps the place properly.
In summary, great friendly service from Angela, plus plenty of eye candy. Other staff could have been friendlier, and a bit too smokey for my tastes in the end.
If you’re a country boy wanting to do some boot scoot’n and cig smoking, this is your place. If you like to lean back with a beer and watch some eye candy, you can do that too (yeah, I can do stereotypes!).
