About 10 years ago, this place would get PACKED with young professionals here for happy hour. And the happy hour specials are still pretty good ($4 wine!), but no one comes here anymore.
It's ok, but it's just ok.
The space inside is nice, and there is a nice outdoor fire pit and seating area.
The food is solidly mediocre. It's not great. The other day I had the pear salad, and added chicken to it for $4. For a now $15 salad, they shouldn't have used frozen chicken (I can ALWAYS tell).
Prior to that I had a Barnyard Burger that was pretty good, but the outside of it was so charred you really couldn't taste much other than charr.
There's nothing really wrong with Bar Louie, its just very meh. Its an alright lunch spot, and a great place to drink at--if you want to drink alone.
One plus though--the service has alwyas been excellent!
