Food: Flavorless culinary letdown
The creative attempt to put a twist on old favorites fails to save the disappointing taste and palatable experience at Bar Louie. Frequent mentions of the food being frozen, dry, lacking freshness, and compounded with small, underwhelming portion sizes have given the menu a bleak perception. Hit or miss variety does little to come to the rescue.
Great Value
Amazing happy hour prices with excellent flavor, making it highly enticing.
Okay Variety
Menu has both hits and misses, offering variety but sometimes inconsistent.
Bad Taste
Several customers found food burnt, bland, flavorless, or disappointment.

Boneless buffalo wings adhere to optimal crispiness and delightful taste.
Vibe: Loud music mars ambiance
Even the good vibes radiated by the bar's cozy, chic, unique ambiance are eclipsed by the far too loud music, creating an environment which undercuts its suitability for intimate experiences. Though the extensive, innovative line-up of top-notch handcrafted cocktails might serve as a saving grace, the disruptive volume leaves much to be desired.
Great Ambiance
Great ambiance with cozy, chic, and unique atmosphere widely praised.
Okay Buzz
Lively atmosphere mentioned, but reviews focus on food, service mostly.
Bad To Entertain
Music bit loud, overpowering for some; bars should consider volume levels.
Perks: Sorry, parking's a hassle
The battle for parking can be fierce at Bar Louie, leading to unwelcome walking and hassle. Once inside, your conversation is likely to be inaudible due to the high noise levels. Infinity of the service is slow and unattentive, adding frustration to an already diminished dining pleasure. Dietary restrictions are also given a cold shoulder with limited choices.
Great For Groups
Accommodates large groups with flexible seating and smooth service.
Okay Outdoor
Nice outdoor seating experiences, but gets overcrowded and busy at times.
Hard To Park
Parking can be tough, designed center leads to hassle and walking.
