Great food. Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Good beer selection as well.
When relatives come to visit, I always take them to OSB. Their food is consistently of very good quality and the prices are more than reasonable. Once in awhile I go there for live music, but what draws me there mostly is knowing that I'll be very satisfied when I leave.
If you haven't been there yet, give 'em a try. You won't be disappointed. Tell 'em rich sent ya.
I had a great time here! Â I came on Tuesday night for trivia, which is always fun. Â (My one complaint has nothing to do with the bar - there was a trivia category called "Celebrity Animals." Â Excuse me, "Catwoman" is neither a celebrity nor an animal.) Â
Anyway, this place is low key but was pretty crowded for a Tuesday night, because of trivia. Â The wait staff was friendly and I was impressed by the food. Â It's pretty standard bar food but it looks like they came up with a couple of twists on standard bar fare. Â I ordered the Detroit Crunch burger, which is a normal cheeseburger but they put potato chips on it! Â I am already a big fan. Â
The beer specials on Tuesday were ok, it was $2 Bud/Bud Light/Miller/Miller Light draughts, I would have preferred some variation since that's almost the cost of one of those beers anyway, but it's nice that for $5 you can have a couple of beers while playing trivia.
How many people do you meet in a day as a bartender? I could only guess. One thing I know is that when a bartender sees me for the second time and remembers my name and drink, I've found a winner.
I spent a lot of my time inside OSB, grew to come to know the staff and other regulars pretty well and it had a warm welcoming feel for me.
As far as bartenders go, theirs are a fun and entertaining lot.
The food is good and the drinks are cheap. It's a nice place to just relax and watch a game (they would let me watch the games I wanted to watch, despite the fact that they were usually Blackhawks, Bears, or Cubbies games)
My only complaint towards this bar is that there was a customer base consisting primarily of white trash midwest hicks. But that is more the fault of Lake Orion, not of Orion Sports Bar.
