Solace Outpost

This is a great spot to watch a game and eat some yummy foods. It's everything you'd expect out of a sports bar! Try their Bavarian pretzel it's my go to food here.

My wife and I were walking past, and the place seemed filled with people having a good time. I'll say upfront that, in this case, I'm the old guy yelling for kids to get off my lawn.TLDR: Their business model suc... stinks.You go in and sit somewhere. A QR Code on each table takes you to the worst web page for ordering food. The app has you scroll through an unorganized list of items, each with little or no description and useless pictures, and select what you want to order. Then, you pay for your food, including the tip, and wait. Twenty minutes later, somebody passed by our table and dropped off our beverages. Thirty minutes later, we got the burger and nachos we ordered. Nobody was around to answer questions, let alone ask how we were doing. If you want water, you get it yourself from a big cooler they have sitting on a table. If you want a soda refill, go to the bar and wait your turn. My burger was OK. If I were going back to this place (I'm not), I would order something else. My wife's nachos were cold and she wouldn't order them again either. I get that their goal is to replace waitstaff with runners to cut costs. They would probably say the goal was to create a beer garden atmosphere. FWIW, I've been in Munich during Oktoberfest in a tent with over 5,000 people and got better service than we got here.

Another enjoyable visit here. You can't go wrong sitting on the patio during good weather but I just go inside and keep a tab at the bar to order instead of using the QR code on the table. Their beer selection can be a little too IPA heavy sometimes so be sure and check the website before you head over if you're like me and not an IPA fan.Didn't try any food this trip so can't comment on that but the staff is really friendly and I'll be back here again.

Really surprised on how spacious this place is. There's an arcade section that features skeeball, two pinballs, a few arcade games. The other side features a stage for live bands to perform and a giant countertop where patreons can sit down and have a drink.I admit, I was bar hopping with a friend so we didn't really go for the food but we did get beers to try out. I think the best part is that you can order through your phone ( they have QR codes to scan ) and pay for it through there. If you are the introvert like me, this is great as you don't have to wait in the bar area if you are with a group of friends. I don't mind the convivence at all. I wasn't here for long but I think I can say I'll be checking more of this place soon!

If you're looking for a sports bar with all the football games on Sunday - you've found your spot. The beer is good, the food is ok, and the place is huge (at least by FCC standards).

Stopped by on Saturday night. The band was great and so were the wings. We got the garlic parm and they were delicious. The cocktails were decent (not my favs but drinkable..... ) and it looked like they had a pretty extensive beer selection. We sat at the bar so service was pretty good. Seems like a cool place to hang out and grab a snack.

Seeking Solace? Look Elsewhere!A recent Sunday night visit to thisnSolace Outpost location was a complete disaster from start to finish. If I could give zero stars, I would. Here's a breakdown of my horrendous experience:Atrocious ServiceThe staff is physically present but ultimately useless. There was no greeting or direction to the "seat yourself, menu on QR code at table, order at the bar when ready" protocol that would have been helpful to know about upfront. Instead, I incorrectly assumed I had to submit my order through the digital menu, which would only let me do it if I selected a tip amount and paid in advance. This Parade of Horrors continued when I asked my waiter for a glass of water and was curtly told, "There is a self-serve water station inside."Horrible FoodI went for the Spicy Chicken Thigh dish -- spicy Nashville batter, Alabama White BBQ, Citrus Ranch, Sweet & Spicy sauce; and the Expo's Tots -- crispy Tater Tots topped with rich chicken gravy, fried cheese curds, and fresh Parsley. Both had the same dominant notes of old grease and regret. I've had better food from a gas station. Either the cook was last minute Sunday night sand-in, or management has no interest in selling more of their brews by making food customers will want to eat.Overhyped BeerThe beer was not bad but didn't live up to its description. I tried the Sonic Punch IPA -- Brewed with El Dorado, Citra hops plus Phantasm powder and thiolized yeast to create passion fruit and grapefruit flavors. It sounded amazing but tasted more than a decent basic brew.In summary, save your appetite, money, time, and trouble.

Came here last night for the 1st time for the Kentucky Derby but it was insanely loud!!!!! I don't understand how the little babies didn't have headphones over their ears. I could barely hear anything. We moved to the back of the restaurant bar where the arcade area is but it felt isolated from the rest of the place even though there were TV's. Food is average bar food. Barely any service as you order from an app and they bring food to the table. I would consider going back again but if it's still as loud, I'd walk right back out. People come to hang out and socialize, if you can't hear each other, what's the point. If I have to yell at my family the whole night so they can hear me, we might as well be at home

The service is always nice here but I find the food very heavy and greasy. Best for a couple of drinks and maybe some snacks. This place gets busy, inside where the games are is always packed- particularly on the weekend. Lots of kids so it's very family friendly. They have high chairs that you can grab for yourself too. They offer QR code ordering from the table and it always seems to work really well. A great spot.

Very friendly, and attentive staff. Four beers and a pizza plus tip will run you $70. Which is why I hate the DC area. I'd recommend picking up a 6pack togo for anyone on a budget.
