| - Bar Louie doesn't care about black people. I stopped in with my father and his friends while visiting Cleveland in late August of this year. It was an early Sunday evening, and not too busy, until about 30-40 black folks showed up. (An all black day party in the area had just ended. By "all black" I mean people had to wear all black to get into the party, you didn't have to be black to attend, that would be almost as racist as Bar Louie itself, though most party-goers were black).
Anyhow, after the group arrived, we tried to order food. The bar tender told us the kitchen had just closed. My pop's friend asked why, and she said, "Because of those people." He replied, "What do you mean by those people?" and she just smirked. We laughed it off, giving her and Bar Louie the benefit of the doubt. Hey, maybe she has a sense of humor like the always hilarious Daniel Tosh!
We stuck around and had a couple of drinks. By that time, the large group of black folks had left, many seemingly disappointed that they were unable to order food. Voila! The kitchen magically reopened, and began serving subpar food. We asked the bartender about the sudden reopening. She wouldn't give us an answer. My dad's friend said, "Because all the black folks left?" The bartender smirked again.
