MANAGEMENT
The ones running the show
GEOFF
The Boss
Owns the place, works the door, locks up at 4am, and somehow still answers the phone at 9. Spotted here buying grip socks in Primark. The man does everything — including, apparently, shopping for socks on a Tuesday.
EMMA
Bar Manager
Outback hoodie, low angle selfie, the look of someone who's about to tell you the ice machine is broken and it's somehow your fault. Runs a tight ship. Doesn't suffer fools. Will remember your tab from three weeks ago.
BAR STAFF
The ones keeping you hydrated
DAN
Bar Staff
Heart-shaped sunglasses. Outback hoodie. Sat behind the card machine like he owns the place. He doesn't, but try telling him that on a Saturday night.
CAMERON
Bar Staff
The look says it all. Don't ask him for a complicated cocktail order at 2am. Actually, don't ask him anything at 2am. He's been through enough.
KALEASE
Bar Staff
Lying across a booth under the Last Orders sign like she owns the place. Technically clocked off. Spiritually never leaving. The kind of energy that makes a shift go faster for everyone else.
TOM
Bar Staff
Fixer of everything Cameron breaks. Covered in fake blood, still smiling, still getting the job done. The kind of energy you need when the venue's falling apart at 2am.
RESIDENT DJ
The one on the decks
OWEN
Resident DJ
The Outback's resident DJ — here week in, week out, making the dancefloor sticky and the neighbours furious. Always behind the decks, always in the green glow. Has never once played a request he didn't already have queued.
GLASS COLLECTORS
The unsung heroes
TYLER
Glass Collector
Arrived with a cake. We're not sure who made it or why, but the message was clear. Lovely lad. Collects glasses. Brings baked goods. What more do you want?
FINN
Glass Collector
If your table's been cleared before you've even stood up, that was Finn. Moves through the venue like a ghost with a stack of pint glasses. Efficiency personified.
SPENCER
Glass Collector
The other half of the glass collection operation. Between Spencer and the rest of the crew, no empty glass survives longer than 30 seconds. It's almost unsettling.
DOOR SECURITY
The last line of defence
BURNZIE
Door Security
Gucci bucket hat. Body cam. Outback hoodie. The friendliest face you'll see on the door — right up until you try something stupid. Then it's a very different conversation.
JAMES
Door Security
Sitting on the ice buckets, contemplating life choices. Keeps the peace with quiet authority and a gilet. The kind of calm you need when the queue's round the corner and someone's lost their shoe.
MARK
Door Security
Been on the door so long he's practically furniture. The beard alone has more experience than most of the staff combined. If the walls could talk, they'd check with Mark first.
LUKE
Door Security
Quiet authority. Doesn't need to raise his voice — the look does the talking. If Luke's asked you to step outside, it's not a suggestion.
OUTBACK LEGENDS OF OLD
Gone but never forgotten
ORRY
Legend
Worked here for donkeys years. Still asked about on the door. Moved on but never forgotten — and yes, before anyone panics, he's very much alive. Just not on the door anymore. Pictured here in his natural habitat: Outback hoodie, holding a pig, absolutely buzzing about it.
