To all of our loyal friends!

It saddens me to write this! Unfortunately, do to some unscrupulous business practices by persons and businesses doing business with Outlaws during the course of spring and summer, we were subjected to catastrophic financial losses. Time was just not on our side to recover from this!

To the bands! You were all a pleasure to work with and demonstrated great talent. You made this journey worth pursuing! Even duing the toughest of times! My best to you all!

To the staff at Outlaws of current and past!

Your loyalty and hardwork were greatly appreciated! That’s what made us better in this industry! It wasn’t just a business to most of us! It became a family! You will always be remembered and greeted as friends.

Thank You One and All for the Ride!
Rick S.
P.S
I can be reached by email for a while at outlawsbar@comcast.net

Rick S!

I'm sorry about the unscrupulous people! But maybe opening that type of bar in the neighborhood that you did was a sort of stupid idea in the first place!

Good luck to you!
Rich B!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew, thank the heavens. Though it outlived my dismal predictions by almost a year, I'm happy to see that this seedy (in the bad way) bar went bottoms up. Now if only sombody could make that rad space work - it could be one of the best venues in town.

HA HA HA

So, Outlaws was put out of business by...outlaws?

The only thing that annoyed me about going to rontoms was having to pass by the Outlaws patrons. Maybe Foster road would proffer better luck.

"So, Outlaws was put out of business by...outlaws?"

Actually its downfall was due to poor spelling.
