Bar Louie

it would have been great if Zac had put in our food order, but he didn’t. And then the kitchen closed.

If I could give no stars I would.
Waited for a server for 40 minutes. After waiting for 25 minutes, one of us went inside to ask for a server and was told all of the servers were outside.
Do you think anyone came? Nope. Went inside again 5 minutes and was told the same thing. 10 minutes later a server finally came. «It was confusion about who was assigned to the table.» Yet 3 servers were outside that looked at us… not acknowledged by anyone of them for 30 minutes.
This is not the first Bar Louie I’ve been to but the only one in Pittsburg I’ve been to. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!! HIGHLY!

Clueless, non-​existent server, food was Ok, one order completely wrong, no sign of management, staff appeared dirty/​unkept, hair not covered or controlled even though dealing with food, table just sticky, silverware stained. Watched guests wandering around trying to get seated, walked out … Needs a complete overhaul or it won’t make it much longer.

No Stars! We ordered drinks and food and saw our waiter twice, we were here for two hours. Worst dining experience of my life. The manager gave excuses and was just as lazy as the wait staffStay far away from this place.

Horrible management. Drinks will take you 30 minutes. Servers are clueless. Nearly got food poisoning once too. Not recommended

When those midnight cravings hit, and I just need to get my hands on some nice, greasy, artery-​clogging guilt food, Bar Louie is where I’ll find it. As a veg head, I’m a personal fan of their Portabella burger. I live for their Tuesday $ 1 burger specials (but they make you buy a drink with the meal — those sneaks). I highly recommend the tater tots. Deep fried perfection! You won’t find crispier tots anywhere else, folks.
I’ve tested out a few different apps, so here’s the run down:
The Bruschetta Pomodoro has about a pound of tomatoes for every crostini they give you. It’s all fine and dandy until the moment of panic when you realize you’re down to your last crostini yet you’ve barely touched the dip. The Bavarian Pretzel Sticks are over salted, but the dips are on point. The Hummus tastes like any ordinary hummus… that’s all I really have to say about that. The Spinach Artichoke Dip is mediocre. Would’ve been better with pita than tortilla chips in my opinion.

Good Service. This place has become a weekend drill for me and my friends in Pittsburgh. Love their tempura shrimp. The food is sapid. Appreciation for their waitress Sehra, she remembers most of the customers.

Stopped in on Saturday afternoon. We walked in and there was sign to please seat yourself — even outside. so we sat outside. There wasn’t a lot of people sitting outside. We waited and no waitress came so we moved to a table closer to the window so we would be seen. still no waitress came. No problem maybe they are short staffed. so we headed to the bar. I always have to get a martini when I am at Bar Louie. This time I had the Diva: Skyy Pineapple, Pama Liqueur, Pomegranate syrup, pineapple juice and fresh cut pineapple. delicious! Service is always great at the bar. I miss the old items on the menu like the muffletta etc. The food is now meh. I ordered the voodoo chicken which is a sandwich consisting of blackened chicken, andouille sausage, bell pepper etc. It was one of their best sellers I was told. The food seemed to take a while — and the restaurant wasn’t busy. The sandwich was ok. There was some fat on the chicken — was a bit chewy. I remember when this bar just opened .such a fun happy hour. Bar Louie always a decent visit. 3 stars..

We went to Pittsburgh on Sunday to have a break during our biz trip to OH. It was a cold & windy cloudy afternoon. Most of the Station square shops were closed. To our surprise, Bar Louie was open. It is right on the river overlooking downtown across the river. The bartender and waitress were friendly. We sampled different beers and finally settled on one. Salmon sliders are the must-​have, so scrumptiously delicious. Great view, great food and drinks in a nice and relaxing setting, that makes our trip to Pittsburg totally worth the drive.

I will be back for the strawberry lemonade sangria, it is a 5 star!
The food was a 3.5 star.
Our waitress was a 2 star.

This place really sucks the service is the worst I’ve had in Pittsburgh not to mention I’ve been in most places

Great location and service, bad food.
We stopped by on way from Canada for a quick bite/​get to know the city. The location and view was nice.
My wife had a shrimp lettuce wrap, it was way too spicy for her, she likes spicy food but, this one was over the top.
I tried the pulled pork Mac and cheese sandwich, well, it wasn’t good either. We’ll give it a seven try, hopefully the food is better, to our taste.

What a gem in a great area I just wanted a really quick drink before we got on the duck tours and that is exactly what I got I tried the pineapple sangria and it was delicious if I would have had more time I would have got a picture the bartender was pretty prompt about making our drinks although the restaurant was not packed I do see how it can get packed. The bar had a tv with some football on. It was a great spot for a quick drink and the service was pretty good:)

No real complaints, we went just to grab a drink during a holiday and sat at the bar. Service was fast and the each drink was made well. Price is right around 9 – 10 for a drink. Nice spot to watch a game as well or just grab something different. They do have a decent happy hour advertised.

Yiikkkkesss!
We boated about 5 hours to Pittsburgh with the sole purpose of having too many drinks with people we haven’t seen in a while. Translation: We were ready to blow more money than we should.
First problem: Place was empty and Steelers were playing. Should have taken this as a sign, but figured we would be focused on. Asked for a non-​Steelers game to be put on since we had several out-​of-​towners and waitress they don’t get that channel. Now, I could understand lying to me (or just be honest and say «no») if the place was full — people are Steelers fan — but it was empty! Eventually the truth came out and the channel was changed without begging. Oh, look, they magically have that channel.
Second problem: You don’t get to eat and drink when I am not. First martini took a little under a half hour to get to me. Again, it is EMPTY in this place. Someone points out that the waitress is eating pizza and drinking at a counter near the kitchen opening. Table next to me asks «what is wrong with this girl?» and we all consider leaving. Finally get my martini and cold apps — ew, once warmed spinach dip is now hard. But yay for yummy pretzel dips? I order another martini and wonder why I bothered. Honestly… the martini menu looked good and I had no desire to get drunk at Bubba Gump next door. How bad can it be? Second martini takes 22 minutes… again we see her eating and talking to coworkers.
Unfortunately, spending a ton of money on endless martinis didn’t happen. 2 was enough waiting. Beer drinkers felt the same as their beer took as long, water refills were forgotten, and one beer order wasn’t even remembered when we said something as she finally came back.
Never saw a manager. Asked for one. Just got a beer taken off bill. Ok, nice meeting you too.
I would never dock the boat here again or eat/​drink here. Geez! What a mess!
Note to waitress: The faster you bring drinks, the more people who want to get drunk order, the better your tip is. Also, get a new job.

My bosses took me here for lunch on my last day. The outdoor seating was very lovely. The food was pretty good as well, though not super memorable or anything. The service was extremely slow. Another perk is that they give a discount to people who work in Station Square, which is nice. Between three people, our total bill came to just under $ 30. At least it wasn’t one of the giant chains that make up most of the dining options in Station Square.

I really like Bar Louie, but I have to say that this was one of the worst visits. I brought friends – seven of them – who’d never been to a Bar Louie before. I’d bragged about how good the food was. And sadly, this was the first Bar Louie that didn’t meet the expectations I’d come to expect. The chicken nachos were literally half the size of other Bar Louie restaurants. And the service was horrible. We had to ask for everything twice, and several things we requested never arrived.
I’ll probably give this location one more shot, and I’ll definitely continue eating at other Bar Louie restaurants.

Comfy seating both inside and out, great view. Food Service was really slow and spotty (and we only ordered appetizers!), Our waitress checked on us periodically and we appreciated that. They also switched the channels to women’s soccer when my friend requested which we really appreciated!
The pricing was a bit pricy for the quality of the food but i do give kudos to the waitress and the location. Our waitress really went above and beyond when we expected to be ignored.

I would give 4 stars but service was lousy, thus a star deducted.
Pros: Great place to sit outside and dine after biking to Station Square.
Music playing was perfect to put you in a good mood and enjoy the patio
White Sangria was ooooh so refreshing with lemons and strawberry slices
Shrimp Lettuce Wraps just the right amount of food and flavor was up my alley
Fries snitched from my partner’s plate were a-​ok
Cons: Service… Our server in training (per his admission) started out so well. As soon as we were seated, he immediately came over to see if anyone had taken our order yet. He took our drink orders and was pleasant. Yay… Then, it went downhill. Several minutes later, he came back to ask which sangria. Ok, no problem. But, instead of taking our dinner order, he disappeared and it was a long while before we saw him again to take our order. After that, it was soooooo very long before dinner arrived. In fact, we finally were approached by his server training him (the first time we saw her) and had to hunt her down again later to check on the food order. Our server in training seemed to all but disappear. The food finally arrived with the server apologizing that they had a large party. I understand that, I do. But, for the server and server in training to disappear with no explanation, no «I’m sorry; your food will be up in a few minutes», no nothing? Sigh… Thank goodness the food was terrific and the selections on the menu that I’m interested in are vast. Otherwise, that star rating would be lower. To top it off, getting the bill required hunting down the server in training once again. He’s not off to a good start but, then, neither is his trainer.

Two things:
1.) $ 1 Burger Night on Tuesdays.
2.) $ 1.25 Beer Night (domestic draft) on Wednesdays.
P. S. Decent service, good bar food, nice draft selection, bad martinis. That’s about it.
