First time to Stout House. I like it and will be back.
First, it's a fairly small sports bar in an otherwise unassuming shopping center near the theater. I came here on a Sunday, watched the game, and the place wasn't too crowded. This is a major plus for me. I'm not sure how it gets on a Friday or Saturday.
Let's get to the important part: there are tons of local beers on tap. They have circle blue. I'm sold. I can't read what other beers they have but they had my favorite. I'm sure their selection will satisfy most. They also have plenty of drink specials, so if you're with someone who doesn't drink beer, you can get an actual drink. I think they also have some sort of pub food available--the place currently smells of something fried--but I can't speak to that because I didn't try/ask. The prices are reasonable.
It's a fairly small space: there's a touch tunes jukebox (awesome!), one pool table, darts, and some sort of beer pong table. There are plenty of tvs for a space this size, so watching the game was pleasant. There's also a small patio.
One thing I didn't like is the tables. They have these long bench tables that seat 8-10 and the bar. So if you're a couple, you'll either have to take up an entire table or make friends. Depending on your comfort level, this may or may not appeal to you. I wished they had smaller, more intimate tables but whatevs. But this does bring up a larger point. I imagine if it gets crowded seating will be a problem if that matters to you.
In any event, if you're in the area and want a good beer, stop in. I think you might enjoy it. I did.
