Bar Louie

Great food. especially during happy hours. I usually would come in during happy hour, order a couple apps, and have a martini!

Large beer selection, maybe 30 craft beers on draft. Food is good, and service can be hit or miss, depending on the night. Place gets packed after work. Especially, for a big game, or Fridays after work. Sometimes it plays loud music during the dinner hour.

Came to this place for the first time yesterday. It was a sunday night. I got the bacon burger with the tots on the side. I have to say it was alright, but probably more appealing to Instagram than your taste-​buds if you know what I mean. Although the atmosphere is great and I dont mind the country music they play sometimes. (I’m a country girl ha).

Bar Louie became our regular to-​go bar over past few years. Great service, great atmosphere and great drinks! My favorite so far is Tinkled pink– MUST to try if haven’t! Also, miss the $ 2 burgers on Tuesdays. But overall, great place to see your friends and grab a bite!

Was moderately ok place, ordered the artichoke dip which was tolerable nothing to write home about.

Meh ok I guess. Wouldn’t go out of my to go here. Typically greasy bar food with subpar ingredients. Ok if your trying to watch a game and don’t care what you put in your body.

Went for $ 5 burger nite. Food was excellent. Burger prepared exactly as ordered. Looked great, tasted super. Tots were perfectly fried and hot and tasty. Our server, Sandy, was a sweet girl. We will def be going back!

Why is the bar tab $ 6 when I ask, but when I charge $ 5.08? Makes no sense. Happened twice. Double dipping?

$ 5 Burgers so you can’t really go wrong. I got the burger with bacon, bbq sauce, and onion strings with tator tots on the side. The tator tots were really crispy and my burger was dry. For $ 5 though, I wouldn’t complain.
I sat at the bar because I was eating alone (am a loser) and I didn’t want to take up a whole table. Well, I think because I didn’t order a drink or anything, the bartender kind of ignored me. I would have to flag them up to even order my food. He also never gave me condiments like ketchup and mustard even though he gave them to everybody else.
I wouldn’t go out of my way for this place. I really only came here because I was staying at the hotel.

This place is hit or miss on the service and food, ranging from horrible top notch. The beer selection is excellent and the bartender is usually helpful and informative. The appetizers and sandwiches were nothing special.

A favorite of the wife and I. We invite friends out to drink, chill and hang out here. We love the atmosphere.

I’ve got to tell you, I wad here for a large party, our waitress, Christy wad fabulous! There had to be, at the peak of the party 60 people, and no one went dry! She was constantly checking, very pleasant and super efficient!
Kudos to Bar Louie on hiring this Girl, She is The Best waitress/​server I’ve experienced in a very long time!

This is my 4^th visit here, usually associated with staying at the Holiday Inn next door. The ambience and atmosphere was great. The beer selection was also great. I’m always a bit concern reading bad reviews, especially since I’m not a regular and that seems to be the common denominator along with poor service. Again, 4^th visit and while I have experience a difference in treatment compare to the so call «regulars», I have not experience bad service. Today I sat by the bar and had an awesome bartender who knows a thing or two about customer service because my group was well taken care of. Very nice job! Unfortunately the name on the receipt states Server as his name.
I sat by the bar and ordered the especial 20oz beer (Blue Moon Draft). I also ordered the Tortilla soup, which was off the chart tasty and had a kick to it. When I finally got hungry, I decided to try the Chicken Tacos; soft chicken serve with a touch of cheese on top, guacamole, poco de gallo, white rice and beans. All served in individual small plates/​containers so you could make/​mix your own tacos. I have to admit, the chicken was not that tasty, it wasn’t bad either, the portion was good, but it was short of flavor. They have a Bar Louie hot sauce and that seemed to do the trick. Great sauce!
Again, great service, outstanding beer selection and tortilla soup with okay chicken tacos. So all is good, I’ll be back!

I have been going to Bar Louie for more than a dozen years when it was the little 30 seat burger pub around the corner from where I worked in Chicago, IL. It wasn’t until I traveled out of state that I found out it had become a national chain. While the décor has been updated, the neighborhood tavern feel of new locations remains the same. The food, while remaining pub food, is consistently better than what you would find in most pubs. The menu can be somewhat limiting though, as they tend to concentrate on the drinks over the eats. A special shout out for the loaded fries (or tots if that’s your preference). It’s like a combination of potato skins and nachos and it’s a very reasonable upcharge.
The service is the roughest spot here because I have had the absolute best service some times and the remarkably not so good service at other times, and that is really unfortunate for such a friendly place.
I always get smiles when I say «Let’s go to Bar Louie’s» and what can be better than that.

So decided to just have the tepid calamari that was over Cooke and the crust overt cooked very dry and over salted the cocktail sauce wasn’t very good either.
Way to loud couldn’t hear anything.

I had one of the best bar experiences ever at this location! We were staying at the Holiday Inn that’s connected to it and wanted to grab a few beers before the end of the night.
It was a Thursday night around 11:30 so not crowded (which is personally my taste) so we just sat right at the bar and browsed the beer menu.
Our waiter Douglas was so awesome! My date had mixed drinks but I stuck with beer for the night and Douglas was very knowledge in the beer selection. He had me describe what I normally like to drink, brought me a sample of something new and I loved it! I think I had 4 new beers all recommended and I was allowed to sample each one beforehand if I wished.
I’m not sure about the food selection that time of night I’m sorry. We weren’t hungry at all but I believe I saw some people eating so the kitchen might still be open late as well.
If you’re looking for a nice bar with a good selection of beer and a clean environment I would really recommend this Bar Louie. Specifically this one though. I’ve had not great experiences at other locations.
Thank you Douglas for being a great bartender and loving your job! We can’t wait to be back!
Side bonus, if you’re staying in the hotel you can bring your drink back to the room.

When I’m feeling cheap and I’m on the move — I’ll stop in a Bar Louie for food & a pint for $ 10. Good deal, right? The atmosphere is neutral, the beer list is decent and, as usual, the service is quick. My app was not part of the ½ price apps — and I’m sick of the menu or staff not clarifying. The bartender was nice about it and bought me a beer — but this isn’t the first time. Also, my flatbread came out missing an ingredient. Other Bartender was nice and didn’t charge me when I asked for it on the side.
For a corporate place — some stuff is really half ass backwards here (and other locations). Doesn’t seem to be a particular staffing issue — they are pretty friendly. I just don’t like being overcharged. Even with the corrections, my bill was still a couple bucks off.

Management has made a big mistake by changing dollar burger nights to $ 5 burger nights.
Instead of making you own burger you have to pick from one of the burgers they decide tastes good. Sure you can take anything off that burger but to substitute any topping or add that costs you money. The $ 5 burgers come with fries or tots. There were roughly 12 – 15 tots on my plate.
Not a smart move at all. This place used to be packed every Tuesday night all night long. Was just there a few weeks ago, no wait time upon arrival with plenty of seats available. After paying our bill the place was roughly 30% full.

This being a little restaurant within a Holiday Inn– I was not convinced on any front that it would be even decent. But it was suprisingly so! The turkey burger was perfectly done and tasty, they have a fairly good beer selection, TVs galore for those must-​see sports events, spicy and filling tortilla soup, and AMAZING TATER TOTS! The tots are salted, peppered, perfectly crispy and hot, with a slight hint of citrus. We also had room service which was from the restaurant, and the breakfast quesadilla is amazing. The yogurt-​granola parfait was very filling as well.
Must trys– tater tots, breakfast food
Yummilicious Factor = B+

We met some friends here for drinks on Saturday night. In the past we were hesitant to go there because it was a «hotel bar». But the bars they are putting in hotels these days are establishments unto themselves and not after thoughts, put there so hotel guests can get a drink during their stay. The décor was upscale, the wait staff was young, attentive and friendly. The patrons were a mix of couples, families, 30 and 50 somethings.
We had the bruschetta at the recommendation of our server. It was good. The bread pieces were a good size, toasted the way I like it, and they give more than enough tomato topping, so we asked for more toast. I can see going back to try one of their meals.
