| - Proximity to home is this place's only real redeeming quality. And, it's at Legacy Village which keeps the clientele decent.
I've been here too many times because it's close to home and close to work and unfortunately, I know quite a few people whose faces light up when you say "Bar Louie." But the food is really quite bad and the beers overpriced. This is not the type of place where I would order a cocktail. Under any circumstances. I did once, and gagged it down... never again.
I forgot... there is one other redeeming quality. Tots. The day after our company's Christmas party, our department admin took mercy on my soul and ordered me the loaded tots as an add-on to another order for a working lunch. They were covered in bacon, scallions, and either sport peppers or baby jalapenos, and came with a to-go bowl of chili con queso. They were not very crispy (how could tots be good 25 minutes out of the fryer?) but they tasted alright and more important, they cured my hangover.
When Bar Louie is delivered to my office as a cure for previous night's excesses, it is 4 stars. When I am forced into the establishment and to drink overpriced beer, it is 1 star. That is a 2.5 average, and since most of their business comes from the actual restaurant, I'm rounding down. Sorry Bar Louie. It's OK... so many people love you. You'll be fine.
