| - This place is located in Westgate, near the Cardinals stadium and Gila River Arena. The entrance is near the fountain and when you walk in, the bar is directly in front of you. It is a large restaurant with outdoor seating if you care to brave the heat this time of year.
We have been to Bar Louie a number of times and have been absolutely thrilled with the quality of the food and the service.
They have ten hamburger selections, including a Spiked Bulleit Bourbon Burger that you have to be 21 to eat.
I have had the Fried Louie, which has bacon, cheddar and eggs and served with fries or tots. The burger was beautifully cooked and the richness of the egg adds an awesome component.
The Louie Burger is a must for the Midwest folks, as it has grilled onion, Provolone and spicy giardiniera--a flavor explosion!
They are not just a burger place, but that is what draws me here.
The service has always been spot on and the place is clean. The ambiance is more toward the higher end of casual eateries, and costs a little more as well. With all the other things going on at Westgate, it is just fun to be here.
They are not perfect however. Their Happy Hour menu is unclear at best. They could really tighten that up.
Also, you need to be aware if there is an event happening at either of the arenas. All the restaurants in what I call Westgate proper (surrounding the fountain) serve reduced menus when there is something happening that will draw large crowds.
To end on a positive note: Tuesday they have $5 burgers from 5-close (except the spiked bourbon burger). Gotta love that!
