Outpost Neighborhood Tavern

The Write-Up

The full story

A welcoming room two blocks off Lake Eola that guests describe as a cross between a sports bar and a boutique restaurant, with a lively patio and cornhole and trivia leagues through the week. The Southerner burger and cubano burger anchor the Southern comfort menu, joined by krispy corn ribs and a frozen sangria worth ordering. Staff treat regulars like family.
