The service when I go here is usually pretty solid and they have a good happy hour deal. Also if you get three of the same shots (from a list) they're $12, which is pretty good. My go to is the cheese bacon fries and they are easily my favorite thing here. Definitely sports bar meets dive bar type of vibe read more

A very strange thing happened tonight (a Sunday when the bar was sparsely populated). I walked in and asked for a beer. The bartender, an older guy I had not seen there before, flatly told me he could not serve me. I talked to this bartender pleasantly, wondering what led him to that decision as I had just walked in. He said I was "wobbly." That was a first. I'm 70 and one of my knees "gives" at times, but by no means do I wobble. I was quite sober. I had enjoyed a single beer at dinner before walking in, intending to watch some soccer recaps on the many TVs there before going home. It was a very short interaction. Neither of us got ugly. Nobody raised their voice. And bars have the right to refuse service. No bartender should ever serve someone who has had too many. But this guy misjudged me. It should have been apparent to a bartender (or anyone who has been around people who are drinking) when we talked that I was neither drunk nor impaired in any way. I left immediately and did not argue. At my age, the last place you want to be is one where you aren't wanted. But this guy was out of line. He jumped to a wrong conclusion based on who knows what. Or maybe he had an agenda, like wanting to clear the place out so he could go home on a Sunday night (but there were 30-odd other folks around, playing pool, etc.) Steak-out has a reputation of sometimes trying to clear people out early, but it was nowhere near closing time. I doesn't make sense to call it age discrimination. This guy was a bald dude with grizzled grey stubble, so apparently past 50, or he had lived a life that made him appear so. If age was the factor, he will feel the reality of age discrimination, which occurs in many places, soon enough himself. I hope this was a strange on-off incident. I had been there often when in town. I liked the sports on the TVs and the reasonably priced selection of beers. I had always had pleasant and friendly conversations with the bartenders. I have always found the bartenders there to be good people. I had never seen this guy before. I hope I don't see him again. I am a pleasant, conversational, easy-going customer who always tips well. I have never been refused service -- anywhere -- so this rude awakening came as a shock. I immediately felt for black folks who get turned away for no reason other than skin color. Lacking a coherent theory, I guess it had to be my age? I have no idea what this guy's problem was. But this bar's owners have a liability on their hands with him as he will deter good people from coming there. I have some experience working in bars and restaurants, albeit decades ago. Personnel choices are very important. Hiring him and allowing him free rein to insult customers was not a good choice. Perhaps the owner will read theses reviews, both the good and bad. read more

Disappointing experience. The first round of drinks (three total) was reasonably priced, but when I ordered a second round and ordered only one drink, I was charged three times the price of the first round. When I asked about the discrepancy, the server (an older bald man) was rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place. Stick with trailhead tavern (right next door and always the same prices). read more

once again poorly staffed, service suffers due to lack of employees (waited 45 minutes for a beer and left with other people to go anywhere else) food is inconsistent due to staff, and is a pricey place to eat for menu items offered just very disappointing for a daytime place key word is disappointing read more

Super great atmosphere! Service and people were great! They had 3 flavors of happy dad's which are my favorite seltzer! overall great experience. read more

Steak-Out Saloon - Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I can vouch for the french fries - they were darn good. The Flaming Fried Yard Bird sandwich was good, but I'd probably try something else the next time. Very decent selection of drinks. We appreciated being able to use a $25 Restaurant.com certificate; if we can get another, it's likely we'll go back. read more

Steak-Out Saloon - Flaming Fried Yard Bird Sandwich And Fries - Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

My fiancé and I are from Houston, Texas and we had come to Fort Collins under unfortunate circumstances; my aunt had passed away and we were going to a memorial celebration to honor her. We chose to come here for what we thought would be a quick post memorial drink. That didn't happen and stayed probably an hour and a half longer than planned haha! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, even took the time to charge my phone after it died during the celebration. Not only were they super nice, they were so patient with my Texan flavored drink requests; including them asking me to walk them through how to make a Mexican Candy shot and a ranch water cocktail After a few drinks, we started playing shot guessing games with one particular bartender (I unfortunately don't remember any of their names- it was a night lmao) and he really made our evening!! On top of everything else, the atmosphere was busy but chill at the same time, and I noticed every single staff member took time to talk to their customers, never rushing anyone. Interior was cozy as well, pool tables looked like fun! If we ever end up in Fort Collins, Colorado again, we are coming back for sure! 10/10 To the staff; thank you for all of your kindness, support and bringing light to me in a dark time yall are awesome!! read more

Customer service has gotten very terrible over the years but this establishment is a key example of how bad it can be these days. My friends and I ended our night here expecting a relaxing environment given that it's a "dive bar." My friends and tables around us were patiently waiting for our Ubers and finishing our drinks when this unfriendly, rude, interestingly unhygienic (dirty fingernails, greasy hair, rotten hands) woman was harassing us to leave by 1:30 when the bar closes at 2. We all paid for multiple drinks, tipped well, we weren't being obnoxious, at the very least, we should be able to finish our drinks in peace (when we paid for them). Literally told that woman that our Uber was 4 minutes away, and she was audacious enough to tell us to drink faster. Closing out a bar doesn't take more than 20-30 minutes---clearly, the workers need to choose a different profession. read more

Fries good. Burger was so so. Rare and Mid rare means not well done. I remember it so much more fondly. Service was good!

The food is great and the drink prices are super reasonable. The bartenders are personable and super quick plus the table games rock

was chilling here to end the night w some friends and was having a good time. Unfortunately, we were interrupted by an employee with a bad perm informing my friends and I that we had to leave because the bar was closing (1:30 miss thing came up to us but the bar closed at 2). she literally said, "drink it faster" while her unpolished, unkept filthy fingers placed her hands on our glasses. very disappointing considering the bar didn't close until 2. read more

If I could leave a 0 star review, I would. It was a great atmosphere up until 1:30am, where workers started to scream at us to leave. We were sitting at a booth just finishing up our drinks when we were told to drink faster and then told quickly after that they didn't see us moving. Don't have a 2am close time if you're going to start kicking people out before that time. Work towards changing your close time, that's not on the customers. read more

12/13/2024 guy was so rude when asking people to leave, it was an hour before close and was kicking people out. worst bar in fort Collins.

Service was slow but food and drinks were good for the price. Had a great night out with a group of friends.

Great place to watch sports and hang with friends! A bigger staff would be nice. Great college bar & full bar/ food menu flr whatever you want! read more

This place is so cool! Maddie immediately made us feel welcome and got us our order. We were at another establishment and they suggested Steak-Out Saloon. They mentioned service and access to all games. It was true! Will be back! read more

Steak-Out Saloon - Tap - Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

We stopped in for a bite because the joint was busy for that time of day. "A good sign" says my wife. I'm glad we did. The Swiss mushroom burger was over the top. Juicy, Beefy, meaty, with the richness of the sautéed mushrooms cut elegantly by the spicy mustard at the end. Artwork. The best burger I've had for longer than I can remember. read more

Steak-Out Saloon - Swiss mushroom burger - Bars Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I picked up to-go cocktail shots (3 for $10) and they came in cute little containers portioned out. I had a St. Elmo burger and it was delicious, perfectly cooked meat and the sauce was a great balance of spicy and zesty with the mustard and habanero sauce. Fries could have been cooked a little longer or hotter, I like them crispier. They have the best drink-list for fun shots and cocktails in Old Town. My favorites are the White Gummy Bear and Lemon Drop. I'll definitely be back to try more of their custom burgers! read more

Recently updated but kept the free pool on Tuesdays! Love this place. I've been in Ft Collins over 15 years now and this is still my go to for a local bar. read more

This is the worst establishment I have visited in many cities. I visited about 4 years ago and was put off by their arrogant attitude. We are here in the city for New West Fest 2019 and happened in again. The arrogance of the bar staff and what seemed to be a manager were unbelievable. They offered last call and after placing drinks on the bar told everyone they needed to leave. Walked through the bar threatening patrons. It was quite unnerving. While I understand laws are different in every state and city, they need to communicate their intentions. We spent over $50 only to be thrown out? It was 1:27 am. It was a festival weekend. We are out of towners. We tried this place twice in 4 years. Won't make the mistake again. Be warned. The attitude is not warm or welcoming. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat anytime. Beer selection is awesome with great prices. Staff is friendly and great. Food is excellent. Free pool night are always fun. read more

Food and drinks were not only excellent, but priced fairly. Had a gyro, and my brother had a reuben, fries were cooked perfectly, and drinks were perfect. I've literally never had a bad meal at this place, and the employees are always great! read more

A great place for local college students or post-grads looking to reminisce about the days when a dive bar and loud girls was a desirable thing. If you don't fit into this category, keep on moving hombre. It's not that it's dirty or worn down like the neighboring joint, Trailhead, it's just not a place you can talk to your friends or share a story unless you want to stand two inches apart and scream at each other. Been there, done that, got the vomit stained T-shirt to prove it. Super annoying: The speedy gonzales guy who grabs your beer glass off the table and doesn't ask you if you want another, you have to do everything yourself, and it takes 20 times as long to get a new beer as it did for them to take your old one. They have shuffleboard down in the basement, but the basement bar has a very very limited beer on tap selection. read more

Well, I ordered wings, onion rings & fried macaroni for delivery. The total was $77. The whole order was thrown out the next day. It was a real bummer. I wasted my money. read more

Sometimes when I'm walking around Old Town, I can imagine what the city was like in the founding years in 1864. Dirt roads with cowboys on horseback, fur trappers coming down from the Poudre Canyon, and stationed soldiers walking into western saloons for a break from the sun. Many of our historical buildings have been well preserved, maintaining the rustic feeling of the wild west, and one might think that the Steakout Saloon has been around since the days of Wild Bill and Wyatt Earp. Despite the authentic look of having been in the American Old West - antique tin ceiling tiles, worn woods floors, and a large western-style bar - the Steakout Saloon has only been serving drinks and food since 1999, even though the building was constructed in 1909. Under the Steakout signage, you can still see a ghost sign from when it used to be a grocery store in the early 1920s. Situated on Mountain Avenue between Mason and College, it's often confused for the Trailhead Tavern, which is right next door. The Steakout is a favorite lunch spot for the Old Town business crowd and a favorite bar for the pub crawlers. Many of the bars in Old Town seem to have a split personality to the likes of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when it comes to the goings on during the night and day, but the Steakout is the most consistent between the two crowds. It's a place where the down-to-earth personalities of Fort Collins hangout for some no frills grub and beer. The Steakout Saloon might not have been around since the pioneering days of Fort Collins, but it's well worn and fits right in, just like a favorite pair of jeans. We might not see fort soldiers, fur trappers, and cowboys hanging out - but you can't miss the fly fishermen, farmers, and craft brewers that make up the people of Fort Collins today. read more

Oh wow! Coming in here on first glance reminds me of the bars in Wyoming! Meaning rustic! But after a while when I looked around I realized that I was still in Fort Collins, a college town. It is dotted with CSU propaganda and has a bike hanging from the ceiling. Yep... I didn't leave the state after all. The time I went here was during a football game. So everyone was whooping and hollering and carrying on. NOT so much for quiet. There seemed to be only two staff members working for a fairly busy restaurant. That means the wait was longer but the waitresses was doing her best keeping on top of things. There was a bartender behind the bar as well but he left after a while and it seemed like the poor waitresses was stuck with the whole place! When we did get our food(which wasn't all THAT long...I was just hungry) I had a very yummy mushroom and swiss burger! I also had a nice handsome salad that accompanied the meal which was also quite yummy. They have all the 'basics' for local microbrews on tap as well... which could not be passed up. I went with O'dell's Hoptober. If you want a pretty good hamburger or steak Steak- Out Saloon is not a bad place to go but try to avoid games because the noise level gets obnoxious unless of course... you WANT to actually WATCH a football game while eating out. Gasp! read more

I used to think that this place was just a dive bar. Lately, I've started to turn around and like this place. The food is moderately priced and very delicious. The drinks are well priced for old town. As other reviewers have said, the place is a bit dingy, which led me to my initial opinion of the restaurant. The place can get a little crazy in the evenings. So, if you are looking for a quiet hangout this probably isn't the place at those times. The Steakout is a fan hangout for University of Iowa, Texas A&M, and Clemson University. So when those schools have basketball or football games expect to be overwhelmed by those fans. read more

Hugely disappointed in my last experience experience here , been going here for the last 6 years and I promise you I will never return. Most definitely the worst service experience I've ever had . We were there late , they announced last call , so we ordered our last drinks , they said it would be a minute because they were busy , so we waited patiently, then once we got our drinks they came and took them from us and said we were taking to long . Meanwhile they served some of there "friends " ( after 10 o'clock which I believe is illegal since the governor's new mandate ) and didn't pester them to leave, and when we asked why the unfair treatment we were told buy one of the surely staff members and I quote " well it's probably because they don't like you " read more

I walked in and spent a decent amount. They took my drink at 9:30, stopped serving drinks at 10. They only took drinks from us then called us ungrateful bitches as we can walked out. As we walked out "workers" outside called us pieces of shit and said we were kicked out because they didnt like us. Would never recommend this place even though they have a mediocre steak sandwich for 10$. Customer service is terrible read more

Some people call this a "dive" bar, but that would depend upon what your intent is when deciding how to showcase the character of your particular booze shop. IMO, this place is not a "dive", it's RUSTIC and has tons of Old Town character. The Steak-Out Saloon is more than just a cool bar; they serve decent bar cuisine that is worth coming back to. I don't really go to bars anymore, but if I were younger and in college again I'd definitely make this place one of my more frequented watering holes. The service is both good and bad. It's not consistent and if you have a bad service experience, try them again and it's likely to be completely different. I don't know what it is but that's just something you have to accept walking in that front door. The beer selection is okay for a Ft. Collins pub, but they tend to have the same beers that every other old pub has. The typical standard and flagship beers of the local microbreweries in town and a few seasonal options compose the beer menu. Again, IMO, bars will do better with providing beers (and other drinks) that are different from the bar next door or down the street. Mix it up and give your customer more options. Overall, I really like the place and it will continue to be a great place for me to grab some lunch in Old Town. If I ever need to show someone from out of town some Ft. Collins history over a beer, I'll bring them here! read more

My boyfriend and I absolutely love it here! Walking into the casual bar atmosphere you wouldn't expect their food to be so good, but it is. They have a good selection of sandwiches and apps, and really good salads as well. The food is always hot and I have never been disappointed. My only problem is figuring out what to order because I have several favorites. I've read some reviews about service, and I would completely disagree. I feel everyone is very friendly. And they make some great shots too ;) read more

We checked Yelp for a steakhouse in FortCollins and came up with this place. It's an A-ok place, with some outdoor tables and a blue collar comfy ethos. Unfortunately, it DOES NOT SERVE STEAK! We stayed anyway, enjoyed a couple of sammiches and chips and beers. The Wisconsin fried pickles were great as were the french fries. The service was perfect too. Would recommend for a casual dinner or afternoon lunch. Very casual atmosphere. They also have a 2nd Happy Hour from 11pm-? We're past that, but could be fun for others. :) read more

Awesome local spot. They've been downtown forever, and l love the renovations they just did! Keep meaning to write a review. Stopped by for lunch today. Fries are my favorite in Fort Collins. Definitely a downtown staple. read more

See all

Looking for a good dive bar in Old Town? Look no further! There's a nice variety of spaces, especially the basement area, and there's always a drink special or two on offer. They keep a great range of beers from mass market to craft, so you'll never be at a loss for what to order. The staff is friendly and efficient, and always seem happy to help. Air hockey is a fun way to pass the time, and their fries are surprisingly good. read more

DEEP FRIED MAC N CHEESE... yum! the best bar in foco and a great place to watch the giant's win the world series! read more

This place is my personal favorite bar in FoCo. A big reason is that I really like the staff! Some of them can be a bit abrasive or gruff at first, but if you are a regular they really soften up. Plus having seen the kind of idiocracy that they put up with it is no wonder they are a bit gruff, but if you show respect you will definitely get respect. The food here is the best bar food in FoCo, definitely not the place to go if you are looking for something healthy, as it is all fairly greasy, but for those of you who are worried about your weight or what not, they do have some pretty good salads... One of the best things about this place, besides the service, is the selection of beers, as they usually have a lot of great microbrews on tap! Plus they have a lot of fun games to play, from 3 pool tables, an air hockey table, a shuffle board table downstairs, and a bubble hockey game. Plus they have enough TV's to accommodate everyones sporting needs!!! All in all this place is a staple of Fort Collins and if you want a good beer, you gotta check out the Steak-Out Saloon!!! read more

Steak out has always been a friendly and accommodating place to grab a bite, watch a game, hang out, people watch on the patio, play pool, shuffle board, and enjoy their adult beverages!! Also, their onion rings are some of the best in Fort Collins. read more

People need to stop giving 5 stars on yelp unless it's truly a place that blows you away. I us the rule of thumb that if I give it's a five, it should be a place that people will drive from hundreds of miles away to get to. If you throw out five stars for a place, then what are you going to do when you find a better place? I digress. Steak-Out is a really chill bar with a really chill attitude. My high score of 4 is mostly due to the atmosphere and beer selection. They have over 20 taps with some really good rotating specials. They also have really good weekly beer specials. I've had a few things off of the menu and nothing in particular impressed me. I've had the wings 3 times and they are nothing better than OK. read more

Typical bro sports bar. Tiny outdoor space for seating. Mediocre beer selection vs. other Fort Collins bars. Crowd and servers were less than friendly. Can't comment on the food. read more

This place has an amazing steak sandwich, and great specials on beers. While the decor might be a little dingy, don't let that turn you off.
