First time I've been to a Bar Louie. On this occasion, I was here with a large group of colleagues (and co-Yelpers) for an after-work happy hour. I was impressed! The atmosphere was great - high ceilings, mid-level lighting, high tables and chairs, sports on TVs ... and $1 domestic bottles of beer. I think everyone pretty much ordered off the "small plate" menu and it all looked pretty good. I went with the bacon/cheeseburger sliders and they were very good. Based on this outing, I'd say - yes - I'm a fan.
