ORLANDO | Outpost Neighborhood Tavern is a new, LGBTQ+-owned restaurant concept and idea that is being brought to the downtown area and is set to open near Lake Eola next year.
The new restaurant is a collaboration between business owner Devon Tillman and the commissioner and creator of OUT Sports League, John Teixeira. After owning previous restaurants, Tillman said that he’s excited to bring this new concept to the Orlando area and create a safe space.
“Our goal is to bring you comfort, fun, and inclusivity in one vibrant, welcoming spot where everyone feels at home. Whether you’re here to catch a game or just unwind with friends, we’ve got you covered with a relaxed atmosphere, great food, and lively drinks,” says Tillman.
As the creator of the OUT Sports League, Teixeira says that this restaurant will help bring together the sports community in Orlando, creating a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community to enjoy their interests with others.
“We’re hoping that it can be a place that bridges into lots of those different communities, and it’s a place that everyone can feel welcomed and are welcomed,” says Teixeira.
At the new restaurant, customers can enjoy a large bar seating area, patio space, and lounge chairs. Recreational items like cornhole and darts will also be included within the area, bringing in people who wish to host leagues in or around the restaurant.
The menu selection will be American-based with home meals and a large selection of beers, wine, and spirits. Outpost will also hold drag brunches and host special events. Read more and view their announcement video below:
The Outpost Neighborhood Tavern will be located at 227 N. Eola Drive which was previously the Persimmon Hollow Brewery. For more information, visit Dot.cards/TheOutpost.
