Outer Limits Lounge

Some friends and I went for Funk Night. It was great! The DJs (Frank R. & DJ Head) had us dancing all night. The beer prices were pretty reasonable and the selection was nice. The sound system is good. While it was powerful, it wasn't too loud, so the sonic experience was pleasant. The outdoor area would have been nicer to hang out in were it not so cold. I look forward to going back in the future when we it's warmer. The crowd was okay, but their odor was an issue. A ton of bearded hipsters and drunken hippie-ish ladies. No judgement, but we were only prepared for the music to be funky; not the people. Overall, I'd still go back for Funk Night again.

Hamtramck dive bar, cheap beers, local music, and a nice backyard like patio. This unique location will offer a variety of beverages, great local music, a no frills vibe. There was even a cool vintage shop setup too. Worthy of a visit especially if you like music, place gets hype

Amazing woman owned bar!! Sweetest owner and bartender amazing shows with an array of different bands and genres playing any given night!!!!

The photos says it all. Perfection in a small local bar with great live music from a mix of bands. I want to play my next gig here and i hate playing live. Incredible.

We came from Sanford, MI. We were there for a special event. Music was great and our bartender was wonderful. She did an awesome job and even walked with me to my car. I really appreciate that since it. Can't wait to visit more after my move down there.

Great bar. I had many family members work here.

"Outtee Limits Lounge is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Detroit's Hamtramck area. Despite its modest size, this lounge packs a punch with its incredible vibes. I've had the pleasure of rubbing shoulders with some famous faces here, adding an extra layer of excitement to my visits. If you're tired of the same old spots, step off the beaten path and experience the charm of Outtee Li.iti 7 me, you won't regret it."

Invited by a friend to check out some music Saturday night. Haven't been to a bar or seen live music in a very long time. Had no expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by an entire evening of artists I found to be a pleasure to listen to. Everything from original songs to covers of works from the likes of Gordon Lightfoot. It would have been more fun had I not over-indulged. Between the cheap beer/drinks and excitement to be out I just couldn't help myself.

Nadine is the sweetest bartender I have ever met. Drinks are strong and the beer is CHEEEEP!! John and Kelly are nice people and excellent hosts. Make you feel welcome when you shouldn't be.

The audio is a bit loud, but it's been a great place to stop but for music. If you stand in the back or just outside, the volume doesn't hurt so much

A very interesting dive bar with great history. It is on the border of hamtramck and Detroit, definitely off the beaten path but worth it. Live music, great decor lots for the eyes to take in and the patio in the back that if you feel the need or if you've had enough alcohol you could get married. Yes, I said married. There is a chapel in the back just passed the smoking section LOL

Classic neighborhood dive bar. I think it's called Outer Limits cause it's on the outer limits of Hamtramck? The last time I was there was for New Years and they had the Twilight Zone marathon on behind the bar. The real entertainment, though, was on stage where The Stools then Easy Action rocked out, wrapping things up precisely in time to count down from 10 to ring in 2023. Shows here seem to always conclude by midnight. Other venues run later by OLL has neighbors very close by in the dense town of Hamtramck so I assume it's a noise thing. The set up really isn't the best for bands here with the mens room directly to the left of the stage, the front door opening smack dab into the middle of the mob gathered for the music and a couple of awkwardly placed poles. At least the poles have shelves for drinks, I guess. Outer Limits seems to do the best they can with the built in ergonomics or lack thereof and I'm sure it would be prohibitively expensive to remodel the joint. The decor is great; all manner of retro delights mainly focused on the Super 70s, some of which reinvigorated memories that had been long lost to the shifting sands of time. I don't drink, so I'm pretty useless for giving you the lowdown on libations, and I don't hang out at bars unless it's to see bands or scarf down a meal but I might actually pop in here sometime during daylight to get a better look at the vintage extravaganza on the walls in something other than the dimmest light and without a crowd around. The backyard is spacious for Hamtramck. It's no Old Miami but it'll do. It's a welcome respite from a claustrophobic concert crowd. Even though it can get packed out there, too, there's still some fresh air between the gusts of cigarette smoke. There's a little wedding chapel back there, too! Don't know the story or ever seen it in use but it is a curiosity adding to the ambiance, along with the year round strings of lights. Parking is sparse. You probably have to hit the side streets to the north and hoof it back. And hopefully they finish the construction on Caniff soon cause that's getting to be a real drag.

My new favorite spot for a weekend night! Love the big yard/patio and always a fun band playing. Decent selection of adult beverages at reasonable prices, chill ambience and friendly attentive staff. Can't ask for much more!

Great eclectic ambiance in the heart of Hamtramck! Stopped in during a group tour. Loved the "unplugged" live music feel. So much memorabilia and nostalgia on the walls of this place. It is a low key, chill spot. Would go again! Check it out in a Friday night.

This place is NOT closed and it's SO awesome and run by magnificent people and you should ABSOLUTELY stop in here and check it out. Great drinks, awesome pasties, fantastic music, eclectic atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and go.

Once I had a pasty here that blew my mind. But there is so much more to love about this bar - the bartenders, music, unique/delicious drinks, super comf patio... and if you're into bathroom selfies, the lighting in the ladies room is amazing!

I love this place. It's my favorite bar and it's really cozy. The bartenders are super nice. They always have fun events and they make really good hot toddys!

Love the decor, the vibes and the friendly staff. I appreciate the paper straws (eco friendly)! My favorite neighborhood hangout spot, hands down.

OUT OF TOWNERS BEWARE (or anyone who dares come in without an Michigan ID): bartender will look at your ID, decide it's fake because "you don't really have an accent," leave you there for 10 minutes while serving other people before passive aggressively telling you that you can stand there all night but he won't be serving you, even after being shown alternate identification (would have been happy to show him a credit card if he were willing to listen). You know, like an a**. Spend your money and time somewhere else. The other staff seemed cool, but it's not worth the risk of ruining a good night.
