From a birdie…
Outback Lodge had its liquor license suspended the first of the month. As a result at least one show was moved to another venue. In many cases the shows went on, but without beer sales what are you really doing but losing your ass? As word spread that there was no beer at Outback, people starting bringing beer and drinking in the parking lot (rumor).
Well it finally came around that Outback was given a deadline to renew there license or risk losing it altogether and having to re-apply. The deadline was Wednesday, August 13 I believe. The problem was that Outback supposedly had no one was willing to help them out. So in desperation, the day before the ABC was prepared to pull the Outback liquor license, the owner bought a lottery ticket AND won $100,000. (still unconfirmed).
That’s the story. Outback has music and to my knowledge beer as well, although I haven’t been in to check. But shows go on. Sound like a movie plot or something.

/I thought you wanted to talk that way.
I mentioned this gossip in the last Free for all last Tuesday, right? IT”S ACTUALLY TRUE????!!!!
Week O’ Restaurant Gossip - E.S.L. Edition!
/sorry
Yay, that means I have decent drunken oral comprehension skills.
Mmm… “drunken oral”…
/straight to the gutter.
As long as they’re serving free beer to the bands next week when I play there. Last time it was iffy at best - they doled out CANS of Bud Light and after we played I was cut off. CUT. OFF. of free beer???
Haha my coworker says the guy who owns the Outback has alway had money management issues and used to hire strippers and hookers to participate in sex parties in the basement.
Bah - I’ve spent a bit of time at the Outback and I think a lot of stuff is exaggerated but it wouldnt surprise me.
/those were MY sex parties btw, and we trucked in hookers from out of town. have you SEEN the hookers in charlottesville? GAH.
the guy who owns the Outback has alway had money management issues and used to hire strippers and hookers to participate in sex parties in the basement.
I don’t own Outback.
echo - the money has to stay in your hand long enough to manage. Handing your paycheck over for booze does not count.
I use the amount of money currently in my name to manage the amount of booze I consume.
@8: This was back in the day a little bit. She said he got the nastiest girls who would take all their clothes off and do things like take lemon slices out of guys’ mouths–with their VAGINA.
You know, I apologize in advance for being such a dick, but Scowly, you are proving to be about as useless as tits on whatever it is that renders tits totally useless.
Is your job at cVillain to just post something - anything, to make it look like things are fresh and updated constantly and there’s a good reason to come back?
This is OLD news - 22 days old according to you, but hey, make sure to let everyone know that you own the scoop and if you see any other local media outlet report on it, get over that and claim it as your own!
@13… dear HOH….. I rest my point.
This article is sleazy, but it’s interesting. For a really bad article, see this recently revived thread from the early days of Cvillain:

Even the vaunted Lilith (whom I vaunt) praised it, so eager were they, so eager so eager.
@12 nothing sez classy like a lemon zested vjay-jay
I haven’t been to outback in awhile, but I highly doubt the hookers in the basement thing. This just sounds like the ABC being it’s anti-capitalist self. They need to abolish that shit.
oh, honey - its a damn bar - don’t be so “black & white” on me, these people are capable of anything!
/used to work at original fellini’s, just sayin”. have you never been to nelson county???
Fellini’s use to be Caligua outpost in C-ville
Ethan. Oh Ethan. I have been a hooker at Outback (yes in the basement and sometimes on the roof if they had one) and the teeny tiny cups of jd and the strange redneck/goth vibe is worth the price I tell ya. I’m a capitalist hooker BTW and damn proud of it. If you ain’t with us you’re against us. Viva Zapata or something along those lines. Forgive me I was at SSB on a Saturday night and was accosted emotionally by multiple khaki wearing 40 something parents of skirt wearing teens announcing their intent to take “philosophy of politics in Asia circa 1909″ and then I expired.
BTW, the next person who gives a rats about who says their, there, they’re in wrong context. Or your, you’re. I’m going to go all medieval on you.
@20 - um, what???
k, i’m thinkin’ you’re not drunk enough to be drunk postin”
way to go bp, it seems you have struck to the heart of all the villians drunken posting and set them to question the amount of alcohol imbibed before posting.
/the crickets, they chirp
//the villains, they drink still more yet no posting.
( i support all of your drunken ability to post. i’m clapping, just like i do for tinkerbell).
why are you up at this ungodly hour commenting? I know why I am, yet lament the reasoning behind your such late night posts…and wtf is the reference: tinkerbell
tinkerbell asks everyone to clap if they believe in her.
Oh noes, Tinkerbell got the clap! Another Disney icon bites the dust. I blame those kids from “High School Musical”
@17: I got my information from a reliable source, and well, let’s just realize that you wouldn’t be invited to those parties if they were still gonig on.
[…] follows up with last week’s gossip bit about the Outback Lodge’s suspended liquor license and ensuing luck Terrence had with the lottery. Apparently the place kicks ass so lets hope it gets up and running […]
The owner of the Outback Lodge must know all the hos (prostitutes, in this case) who hang at Tonsler Park on Cherry Avenue, then. I was riding by one day (quite a while back) and saw a couple of them being arrested. Too funny.
wow, the majority of you people are just shit talkers that don’t appreciate a place that tries to bring music that no other venue in town will. I can’t afford $50 to see some shitty pop band @ the Pavillion & I also can’t afford a $12 martini at Blue Light, or $1300 per month on the downtown. I can afford to pay $5-$12 to see a good out of town band & a few PBR’s at the club who has the best sound in town. Oh yeah, Gor-gor, keep bitching! Where are you gonna play when the OBL is gone? You are obviously FOS!
Um, 30, what are you talking about? We didn’t arrest the dude
Actually, no one got arrested. No one usually gets arrested for these offenses. Also the story was retracted & I hope a public apology from NBC 29 is fourth coming. What I’m talking about is the comments (29) “prostitutes”? Do you even know the guy? He’s done A LOT for the music scene here. This town is full of spineless haters. Everyone is a tough guy in cyberspace. I hope the fella from Outback sues 29 & the like. It’s a shame a cool town like this has a rumor mill (fueled more by this site) that leads to gossip such as this.
