Bar Louie

The Blue Louie keeps me coming back to Bar Louie. They have phenomenal burgers and decent wings. They have been going through an identity crisis over the past 3 years and there never seems to be a crowd at Bar Louie. The oddest thing was that we went for the AFC championship game and they wouldn’t put the game over the speakers across the restaurant. Clearly, everyone who was there was watching football, not tuned into the easy listening in the background. The good thing is that they have PLENTY of beers on draft and now have a really nice liquor selection. If you haven’t been to Bar Louie lately because you thought it had gone downhill, give them a second chance. They seem to be getting their act back together.

Honestly the worst service I’ve ever received. Waiter took forever and was always hanging out in the back. She was super slow and the food came out slow. She didn’t refill our drinks either. Food was so so.

Food was always good but service is fairly lacking. Tried to stop by tonight and it wasn’t overly busy. Grabbed a seat at the bar. It was 5 minutes before any of the bartenders standing in front of me acknowledged my presence. Then another 5 minutes before they asked me for a drink. Ordered a beer and after another 5 minutes of waiting I walked out. Fifteen minutes and no drink when the place wasn’t very busy is pretty pathetic. Past experiences were pretty good but normally I always sit at the outside bar. It of course was empty tonight so maybe the inside bar is always this bad.

I very rarely write Unilocal reviews but I had such a bad experience here. A bartender asked for my ID, and told me my ID was fake (which it’s not, I’m 24). She later goes on to tell me that the numbers on my drivers license told her my ID was fake (which is wrong, because it’s actually a real ID). The «facts» that she said of what makes an ID real vs. fake is complete BS as it is a 100% real drivers license. All I wanted was one drink to test this place out, and all I got was a bartender telling me my real ID was fake.
I don’t recommend this place just for the fact one of their workers starting throwing out bogus facts about the numbers on a drivers license which makes it «fake». It’s one thing to respectfully deny service, but to make up false statements about drivers licenses is pure ignorance.

We had a large group of about 20 – 25 people and we had a great time. The drinks were good and the DJ and music were great.

This place is amazing the staff is super nice and awesome! Their drinks are better then the food!

Absolutely garbage the pictures say it all. They got my order wrong and then the food tasted horribly over cooked. The vegetables weren’t even prep correctly.

From reading the reviews this is nothing what I expected. I expected a dive bar but it was more of an upscale place in a strip center. Nice interiors. Nice people.
Was lured there by the $ 1 burger, however.
Cut to the chase — the burger is just ok… but a buck, right, ok. It was smallish and a bit overcooked. And I don’t mind spending $.50 cents for adds but the tomato was a a MICROSLICE — LOL… as well as everything else — But the burger is a buck… I get that.
But here his the deal — if you offer it, make it an amazing deal or just don’t do it. Why do it and looks like your being cheap with the condiments — tomato, lettuce, etc — all costs $.50 each. — jalepenos? 3 for $.50…
I tried a tap beer which was very good (Gooseneck) as well as two martini’s (cucumber and 90 miles to something — both also ½ off during Happy Hour and were very good.
The bartenders were good, friendly and knew the drink menu well. Might need to go back try an entrée, but the $ 1 burger… isn’t all that.

I am slowly becoming a regular at Bar Louie on Tuesdays. First, their happy hour is awesome (half price drinks and apps) and on Tuesdays they have $ 1 burgers and chicken sandwiches! The restaurant itself is usually very clean and the servers/​bartenders are always very friendly. Overall, definitely a fun local place to check out.

Loved the atmosphere, good location. LOVED the smores martini. I would recommend this place.

I like to stop by here for drinks and to meet people. I really miss when they used to have the karaōke their weekly. Third little stage inside for small open mics and for the DJ. It is a nice bar beautiful décor. The staff could be a little more attentive as it take some doing to get attention to get served. This is a great place to watch games or other sporting events as a normally have it showing on the televisions. The outdoor bar that they have is gorgeous. But the problem is that there’s normally so many smokers that she could barely breathe in this area.

We went here because their patio is dog friendly and I had two of my canine fuzzies in tow. The poor bartender was swamped and told me her server wasn’t in yet so if we didn’t mind waiting, we were welcome to go hang out on the patio. She would send him out to us when he arrived. Cool! No problem. It was supposed to be 20 minutes but it took him a good bit longer than that. We weren’t worried because we were busy chatting and catching up. When he finally showed up he was super nice. The drinks look interesting but without any prices I was reluctant to order. I had a stock yard burger that was cooked beyond the medium well I asked for, but regardless, it was still pretty good. I also asked for crispy tater tots and they arrived as requested (but Oblivion Taproom has waaay better tots). I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here, particularly after reading the other reviews about the vibe. Cougar Town? I’ll pass. We went on a late afternoon Sunday which was perfect. There was hardly anyone around so the dogs could roam a bit (on leash of course) and the food was pretty good.

What can I say? Friends invited me to $ 1 hamburger night. All toppings are added cost. Cheese, tomato, mayo added cost. Fries $ 4.25, really? Sangria $ 10.50 and these are all during happy hour. I think Carrabbas is like $ 7.50 for 2 glasses of sangria and they’re better.
Service was slow and mistakes made. 3 stars might be pushing it. Can I do 2 ½?

Bar Louie… you had me at $ 1 Burgers!
We had to come check this out to see if it was for real and it really was… but there is a catch. You have to order a drink and the toppings are not free and it’s only good on a Tuesday night!
With that said, they burgers are delicious and satisfying, not a slider type, but a real full sized burger. Add what you’d like as toppings, from $.50-$.75 each. It adds up fast, so choose wisely!
Enjoy the tots and fries too. You can order both and easily share with a group of 6.

I heard about this place from a friend I met while traveling, and I just had to check it out for myself.
Of course I had to go on a Tuesday night, when the burgers are $ 1 and between 4 and 7pm when the drinks and appetizers are ½ off! Let me just say, it did not disappoint. It did help that I was starving, so really anything would’ve tasted great… but honestly, it was a great meal.
I got the burger with bacon, swiss cheese, tomato, pickles, and BBQ sauce. The $ 1 burger come with the bun, burger, and lettuce. Everything extra ranges between $ 0.50 to $ 0.75 – my burger ended up being $ 2.75 which is not bad at all. It was a nice sized serving as well, none of that «small sliders» for dainty fingers. You also have the option to choose beef, chicken, portabella, or turkey patties.
Here’s how they get cha: you have to purchase a drink too. I was feeling just a lemonade; however, that lemonade cost me $ 3! I wish it could’ve been something better, not just MinuteMaid from the fountain.
Nonetheless, a full meal for about $ 5 is exactly how I like it.
The atmosphere was fun, the bathrooms were dirty, and our waitress was busy so we waited for our ticket for about 10 minutes after we were through with our meal. BUT again, go. Try the burgers and enjoy a night out on the town.
TIPS & TRICKS:
* Get a side of tater tots to accompany your burger, it’s a nice helping too, making it easy to share with friends.
* Try the guacamole, it’s really good and you save money because it’s basically a sauce of it’s own – you don’t need to spend the extra $ 0.75 for mayo!

Was told about this place by a coworker. Glad I took their advice! We came here on a Tuesday night which was $ 1 burger night. Yes $ 1 burger night! The only catch is that you have to buy a drink but my bill still came out to less than $ 9 total. You would think the burgers would be the size of sliders for that price, but they were full size burgers! The staff was very attentive and we never went without a full glass. The strawberry lemonade sangria and cran-​apple singria were amazing! I’m definitely coming back here the next time I’m in Orlando!!!

Came on a Saturday got busy fast. Johnny is the best bartender we have had there yet! Did not eat but have had food on burger Tuesday it was good!

Come here on a late Tuesday night with friends after dinner. Other than the priciness of drinks (9 – 10 $ per cocktail or shot), it is a great spot to hang out!
The thing I wish I had researched was their dollar burgers after 5p on Tuesdays. Base burger is meat and lettuce with ketchup and mustard at your table. They can nickel and dime you if you want add ons, but if you just want something to tame the hangry monster, they are a great size!
The atmosphere is super chill, and their DJ was playing a mix of modern and 90s classics, with a bit of 80s thrown in for good measure. He knew his audience for sure!
I definitely am going to visit again, but I need to save up some money bc this place set me back…

Definitely not what it used to be back in the day (2009 – 2011). $ 1 burger night on Tuesdays draws a crowd but that’s about it. High turn over rate on the bartenders is disappointing. I used to be a known regular but now I’m just a stranger every time I come in.
They now have ladies night on Saturdays and it’s getting a little better. We will have to see if they can pull through this low point. Better promoting would help as it’s actually a really nice place.

This place is okay. Nice ambiance, with some fun indoor and outdoor patio spaces to chill out. Unless you hit their happy hour or daily specials, for me it’s too pricey for what you get.
My most recent visit was in conjunction with a Paint Nite that was being hosted there. Two drinks cost me $ 20, which was outside of happy hour. While $ 10 drinks aren’t unheard of in Orlando, for what I got it was not worth it to me at all. The drinks were nothing special.
The prior time I visited, we took advantage of their burger special they had that day (burgers were a buck, then you pay for toppings). The special was a good deal, but the service wasn’t great that day. It took forever to get our food and I think we were forgotten about. When we got our food, one of the orders was wrong.
A lot of people in this area do enjoy Bar Louie, so I might be back, but hopefully during happy hour only. Not worth it to me.
