Absolutely amazing. Ricardo and Mandy are always warm, courteous, and friendly every time I visit. Food is always delicious. They have an updated menu that is incredible. I recommend Bar Louie in Dearborn Station whenever I’m in the area.
Our waitress, Cassandra, was very friendly and attentive. In addition, this restaurant was clean. Finally, I enjoyed my drink. I highly recommend the "Diva" martini!!!
Great service, good food and kid friendly. Went with out of town company with 4 children under 10. Wanted a place to watch play off game .
Had a table of "impossible burgers" and were very pleased. Food/drinks too a little while to arrive, but understandable as they were busy.
The bloody marys are my fave and great appetizers.
I stopped at this location during lunch yesterday on my business trip because it’s near my hotel. I was familiar with the Bar Louie name so I went with it. This was by far the best Bar Louie I have been to— even after visiting locations all over the country. The one thing that made this location stand out was the excellent service by my bartender Megan. She made excellent gin drinks and made sure my potstickers were hot. I’ll be sure to stop in my next visit to Chicago!
Great service and burgers and wine!
Came in for a drink and a quick bite. My server, Nixxi, was phenomenal. She recommended a great flatbread and a good drink that was on special. Throughout the meal she was friendly and was attentive to our needs!
Had a great experience at bar louie with the assistance of my amazing server nixxi. I enjoy any place where I can enjoy a meal while laughing and having a great time.
Megan the bartender was amazing, I feel like I never had an empty glass! She's super sweet and hospitable!
Overall I would recommend this place.
Little bit on the expensive side and the kitchen closed before 10 on a friday night. However, the staff was very friendly and we had a great time.
Went in after work for appetizers and drinks. Derek was our waiter. He was absolutely amazing. He had great suggestions, very knowledgeable and helpful. He really went above and beyond to make our night great. Love the interior! Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Thanks again!! We will definitely be back. I will make sure to reccomend to all my friends.
Great service and nice mix of patrons. Would return again.
Well what an amazing nite. Had the most personable waiter. Went above and beyond out r expectations. Go visit Luka at Bar Louis’s!!
That gay bartender was very attentive. Love him
Had a great time food & drink was excellent, the chocolate cake was so moist & delicious. Please don't be like me you can share the cake with friends.
In Chicago for business had a great server Nixxi. Nachos & Margarita was soooooo good!
The Atmosphere was great after a nice concert. My friends and I devoured the food ; especially the scrumptous loaded chicken nachos. The only knock against the place was the service. I felt that our waitress could have been mor attentive and prompt. I might come backing I'm within the area and hope for better service.
Great service, good food, good drinks. Had a great time at bar Louie. Out server Cynthia was great. Would recommend to 10/10 to a friend.
I came in on Sunday night and my server was very busy and running around. This girl did so much for me, she took such good care of me. I expected to be waiting longer than I had been but I had the best experience. Nixxi thank you so much for recommending the bourbon burger. Thank you for giving me a laugh and just being all around fun.
Great lunch and happy hour specials.
It was a great experience, very friendly and attentive waitress, Nice size flat screen TVs and nice outdoor seating. Great atmosphere!
Incredible the low price, good food and environmentally enjoyable.
Such nice staff ALWAYS, great deals, best drinks I've had in the South Loop! (Also queer friendly staff for an otherwise "straight" ish aesthetic)
Good basic spot. The food is not the best, but it’s ok. It’s consistent. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive. I come here when other places are either too busy or too dead. It has a good selection of drinks, has a fun atmosphere, but at the same time not overly loud so you can have a conversation. Good neighborhood staple.
Phenomenal service! I hosted an engagement party at this location and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The event coordinator, Amanda, was super professional and answered all my questions and was super helpful especially since I was trying to plan this event from out of town. We had a large party of 30 plus and we were in the upstairs private loft and our waitress made countless trips up and down the stairs to make sure all of our orders were taken care of. 10/10 Service. Would highly recommend.
Always love Bar Louie. Solid and consistent. Quick service, tasty drinks
Nice place to watch a game, tasty martini
Megan was a wonderful server! Great food!
Great food and great staff. Megan was our server and she definitely made our experience!
Fun sports bar, good food
Every one there pretty much hates their life. Miserable servers. And sarcastic for no reason.
Stopped by for a bite is ok.
Nice specials, the flatbreads are delicious and the "martini's" are strong. Especially the Clover
The impossible Burger I had was fantastic, but the men's bathroom smells like urine.
Very bad experience! I visited this place so many times and the service didn’t meet the expectations. But it was the worst! Usually we come in a big group of international students and we spend our evening their. Last time the guy who works in the middle of the bar asked me in a very rude way to show my ID in the front of all people (Although he knows me because I came several times before) after he saw my ID he took my drink and throw it away. He said read my date of birth wrongly! And when my friends started to explain he realized that and he didn’t apologize!
Excellent food and perfect location Go Bears !
$5.25 Martinis are the beast deal in the South Loop on a Wednesday or Thursday night. Menu selection is good but the menu is changed too often. If you go on a Wednesday night, ask for Cassie for your server or if you go on Thursday night, ask for Michelle. They are the best servers at Bar Louie. You won't be disappointed.
Came in today for a drink after work. I was greeted immediately by someone and told to sit wherever I liked. My server Nixxi was THE BEST! Anyone who can keep up small talk while also floating from table to table is a well balanced and prompt individual. I never had to ask for anything she was always on top of it. I’d highly recommend asking for her whenever you come in.
Awesome bar and grill. Excellent pizza and a wide variety of beer. Great for family, date night, or a pit stop on the way home. Must try.
Attentive staff, go for a appetizer if you are not that hungry. Good price and done well. Thanks
I visited this place on 10/4 around 5:30pm and we where so impressed with the service and prices we came back at around 11:30pm. Clay was our bar tender both times and our drinks where delish. He also had exceptional customer service. Everyone on staff was wonderful. Will definitely be back when I am in town.
This was our last stop on a friend's bar hopping tour, And in a group of mostly males the lone female got sick in the restroom. not only did the waitress check up on her even though we didn't ask her to, she got her some extra water really took care of her and well all of this was going on, one of the bartenders came to our table to let us know our friend was sick but she was being taken care of. Never have I had such a caring team take care of me and my friends at a bar <3 Also try their Vegas bombs, just saying
Me and a couple of my friends went out to have dinner and drinks. We decided to stop in at this bar louie location. I have never been to this location before. Our server derek was amazing. He was very knowledgable about the menu and always kept it fun and interesting. The food came out in a timely manner and there was never any bad spots to the meal. I will definitely come back here and ask for derek.
Came in with friends the other day. Jordan took great care of us. Had amazing cocktails and apps. She recommended the calamari as an appetizer, absolutely delicious.
Came in on a Tuesday, which was a wonderful decision. $5 Burgers! Our waitress Jordan was so nice and helpful. Got such a delicious burger. Love the fries too! I’ll be back next Tuesday for more.
5 stars to our server who was amazing. We had some appetizers that were really delicious and Natalie F. Gave us the best recommendations. Love the drinks and the atmosphere. Definitely my favorite Bar Louie
Bar Louie is great! My server recommended I try the tempura shrimp. Man was it delicious. Love that buffalo sauce. Thanks to Jordan for the great recommendation and great service. Definitely will be coming back for more shrimp.
Good drinks, friendly staff.
Derek was fantastic! Great service! So warm and welcoming...will be back
Can’t say enough how much we love our waitress from our local Bar Loui, Nixxi. My boyfriend and I have been at this Bar Loui twice and both times we have had the pleasure to be served by her. She goes above and beyond for us! Amazing service, and atmosphere. Apps are amazing, and a good place to visit if you are in Printers Row!
Had an awesome time, the food and drinks were good, and the service was great!! Derek was so friendly and helpful! We'll definitely be back :)
Came to the city to visit last month and clara made my whole trip! Thank you for the good beer and the great time. If visiting go see her!!!!!!!!!
Just had a great meal. Have been looking for a nice place after work, as I work down in the South Loop, and I found it! The food and drinks were person, And our server, Nichelle, was fantastic. So kind and really wanted us to have a good time and relax! I will be back!!! Sean
Good brunch menu. The bloody Mary is a meal in itself. Sunday brunch starts at 10am.
What happened to the food and used to be good
Good food, nice dive-y feel to the place. 8/10 would go again.
This is a great spot. Very clean restaurant and very nice bar. The prices are good and the food and drinks are also excellent. I am very happy with the customer service here.
Service was good but the burger was over done and cold and the fries were cold and stale.
We loved the food/drinks and our guy Carl was a terrible waiter but scrumptious at the same time so went back just to see if he survived his first day. Hang in there Carl
Good burger atmosphere is friendly. Nice seeing some dogs around
This place has the best workers ever. You are the freaking besy
Nice neighborhood feel to it. In the summer we really enjoy sitting in their outdoor area. The must check out is a Luigie Sandwich.
Food was amazing, thank you Dragana for perfect service, will be back!
Went in on a Wednesday night for their half price martinis and $1.25 beers. It was very busy but service was excellent! My servers name was Natalie and she had pink hair! She was extremely helpful with helping me decide on what to drink. I will be coming back!
Service is always questionable here at Bar Louie and you'd be willing to sacrifice the service if the food was worthwhile or the drink specials were on point. When all 3 are subpar, it's no surprise that the locals choose to go anywhere else but Bar Louie. With so many places attempting to keep customers coming back it may behoove the bartenders/servers to stay off of their social media and cell phones and focus on the customers in front of them.
Derek was amazing. I had a great time when going to this location all because of him!
5 dollar burgers every Tuesday and 5 dollar martinis every Wednesday and Thursday evening make Bar Louie my go-to spot in the neighborhood. Very dog-friendly outdoor patio.
Had a great time here. We stood till they closed. The staff was very friendly.
This is my neighborhood spot when I want to watch a game or get a decent happy hour special. I come here very often on Wednesdays for the $1.25 beer / half priced martini special. And of course they have half priced appetizers every day from 4-7pm. There is almost always a place to sit since the space is large, although the top area is blocked off pretty often. I usually sit at the bar, and the bartenders do a great job of serving everyone quickly. The drinks are always made correctly, but I do think they could have a bigger selection of whiskeys. The food here is also great. I usually get the boneless wings, which come out on a cute little cast iron pan. The chips and dips appetizer is also good for sharing. I will keep coming here as long as they have their great happy hour specials and fun environment for watching sports.
Came in with a group of friends after work. No drink specials, but had some great app specials. My server, Jordan, gave great service and recommended some some really awesome food and drink items. I got the calamari off the half price options and a fantastic sangria. Both were great.
Low key and clean. Chicken nachos are amazing
Great restaurant. Excellent service from our waiter Luka. Got the burger. Delicious. Will definitely come again.
Wings are good, the tea tasted old and was not good. Prices are reasonable.
Poor service- unfriendly server, food was good
This review is strictly for their happy hour. I came to Bar Louie with a friend recently and was excited to learn that they had their HH going when we got there. Bar Louie has a great HH! Probably one of the best I've seen in Chicago. They have half off appetizers and $5 martinis and discounts on beer (but I don't remember specifically) from 4-7PM Monday through Friday! We opted for the boneless chicken wings ($6.50 during HH) and pepperoni flatbread ($6 during HH). The wings came with ranch and blue cheese dressing. The wings were decent, I would say a bit on the salty side. I enjoyed the pepperoni flatbread. Both of these were good portion sizes. My friend and I both got the "Effen good" martini which was delicious!! It was so refreshing with flavors of cucumber and just a bit of sweetness. Also loved their outdoor seating on a nice summer day! Would definitely come back here for HH but not sure if I'd pay full price for their apps.
Bar Louie does it RIGHT! That Effen Good martini is to die for. My girl Julia took amazing care of me. She told me I should try the new salmon dish. DELICIOUS!!!
Waitress was great! Food was cold. Not just mine but my friends had the same soup that was actually cold, not Gazpacho though??!! Please do better!
Eh it's fine. It's a bar Louie... Beers are good price, Happy hour is great (really get the bang for your buck) and staff is solid. Great for large groups. Best part is the space, size, structure, and decor is cool
Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my daughter it was nice and calm everyone was nice. The server Luka was great I give him 5 stars he treated my daughter like a princess and didn’t miss a beat with delivering great personable service! I couldn’t ask for anything more out of our experience dinning at bar Louie!
Came in on Saturday for a quick bite and a beer. Our bartender, a spunky brunette with cute over sized glasses (Megan I think) was fantastic. The food was good, but the service will def bring me back to this spot. As a bartender myself I was very satisfied with my experience. She should be working every night!
It was my first time here and I can't stop thinking about what an awesome time I had! Derek was our server and was an absolute delight. He recommended the Voodoo Pasta and I ate the entire thing right there. He was attentive but not smothering us, just perfect. I'll be coming back for the pro service and the food...and the drinks! Ayy!
I came in for happy hour with a couple gal pals. Love the half price martinis they have. My bartender Jordan makes the best cosmo!!! I had 4 of them. Jordan also recommended the new calamari. Very good. I like the new sauce they have with. Has gardinera in it. Yummmmm.
Had a great time service was good and Drinks were excellent. Manager Andrew was very helpful.
A very good place to have large group parties. I visited for a wedding party and the staff and food were wonderful! They have a back room that could fit around 60 people very comfortably. It is also a very fun place to be on a weekend!
I was there for a private event....great service! great drinks! and a great staff!!
Delicious food and very nice wait staff. Accidentally dropped the complementary toasted bread for the Mac n cheese and got another no question.
Crowded, fun, staff if very friendly but drinks weren't very strong or big
Awesomeness! Burger night is the best!!! Clay and Toni rock! Ask for them! Best service! #foodie #barlouie #greatwaiters #fun #friends
Great food and beer. Efficient but cold service.
Great atmosphere and service
My friends & I stopped by this location last month. We had some appetizers which were good but the drinks were excellent. We sat at the Bar - Katerina was our Bartender- she was very polite & friendly + she knew how to make a good old fashion - Always a plus!! I’ll be back in the area next month & will stop by again! Thanks
Nice atmosphere food is very good
Pricey. Great mixed drinks. Wonderful pretzels
Delicious food, great drinks, great staff..what more can be said..one of my fav spots
Gluten free options if you ask
Went there last Saturday night to have my favorite drink via Blue Mf, then I started throwing up. Not only did the staff show no concern, but the bartender, white lady mid 30s, blonde hair, average size didn't tell what extra she added to the mix. I was asked to leave because I threw up at the bar. It was a horrible experience.
Nice little spot, not too expensive
I went in with some friends are the Women's March and had a great time. Our server, Cynthia, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. She was super helpful when I wanted to branch out and try something new. The food was great and I love the interior!
My burger was fye!! Just how I like it. Nice cozy place to get away from work and have quick lunch. Reasonable lunch prices
I always love going to Bar Louie’s but they have to do better with their restrooms. You should not have to go into a restaurant and their restrooms smell like PEE and its filthy. The smell of buffalo wings and pee Do Not go together. Please do better!
Their new weekend brunch menu is a huge disappointment. The variety of items being offered has dropped considerably as has the quality of the food. The only thing that's gone up are their prices.
It may be a chain but this location in Printers Row is my go to bar in my neighborhood. Food is fantastic and the service is always paired with a smile.
First time here; awesome food, drinks & customer service! Soon to be one of our must visit when in the area.
Clara is absolutely wonderful! She was super flexible with our outdoor seating when it turned into a thunderstorm at first and then a hailstorm, letting us move around as needed. The food and drinks are amazing, and the indoor ambiance is great as well! Definitely recommend!
Me and my girlfriend live on Printers Row. We come to this location frequently. Nichelle (Nixxi) is one of the best waitresses we’ve ever had. Not just at a Bar Louie chain, but any restaurant. Everything from the two tone hair to the friendly attitude fully embodies the image I believe Bar Louie is trying to be. Hip, friendly and welcoming. Between DJing in bars for 5 years, and spending 7 in the industry as a bouncer I have yet to see an employee who cares about their customers the way Nixxi does. She at one point even traded a table with another server so she could help us. I genuinely hope her managers see this and appreciate her for the dedicated employee she is. She definitely deserves it.
First off- the location is gorgeous, I love that it's inside an old looking trainstation. The aesthetic is there, great area. Go here when you can get burgers for really cheap! I forget which specific day it is- but the food is good, the environment is friendly. I went here when I wasn't 21 so I couldn't get any drinks, but I'll have to return now to experience it all again.
Great vibe. Relaxed environment but feels like a great time
nice bar with friendly staff. prices fall in line with that of a downtown Chicago establishment. however they do offer great deals periodically.
Average food and good service.
I had a wonderful server Nixxi! Best shrimp tempura ever. Thanks Nixxi you were awesome
Nice atmosphere, very good service and food was delicious!!
Great food , wonderful service. Manager was very helpful, and courteous. Great guy.
Megan and Clay we're fantastic bar tenders. Everytime I met eye to eye with one of them they were at my service. Never once was my drink empty. Also, the loaded tator tots are incredible. Definitely recommend for a good night out.
Friendly staff and nice vibe
Had a great time at this bar. My bartenders Jordan and Julia took great care of me and my friends. They made me the effen good martini. It was soo yummy and refreshing. Can't wait to have another one.
The service is awesome. You walk in and you're immediately greeted. They make You feel welcome. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive; I hate that I didn't get his name. Go to this place for delicious bar food.
Yes, yes and YES! Order the Pineapple Sangria and you can thank me later! This place is a MUST, if you're anywhere near Chicago!
Kat was an awesome waitress!
Excellent drink's!
Affordable drinks. Great food. Nadine was a great server. Will definitely be back
Server was inadequate. We saw them just laughing and eating but only checked on us once while we were there.
Great service and great atmosphere. The bartenders were courteous, funny, and always ready to offer another drink. You should definitely check this place out!
Had a great experience while watching my Lakers on a Saturday night by myself at the Bar Louie in the South Loop. All of the staff there was really friendly. My server Kat was very charismatic and multi tasked between so many customers like I never saw before. She definitely deserves a huge raise and promotion. She even recommended a really good sagria (lucky guess by her...Sangria is my favorite wine) and even let me sample it. She was very warm and attentive and has a very great personality. We even had a great conversation about food and culture. I'm definitely bringing my friends here. I think we have a new hang out spot on Saturdays
Katarina makes Bar Louie so worth the visit; very sweet, excellent conversationalist, extremely attentive, and commendable customer service! To prove my point, she already knows my favorite beverage and asks me if it’s what I want when she first sees me. Idk how Bar Louie could ever survive without her, she’s an awesome asset to the restaurant business, community in general for anyone wanting anything from a meal to a mere snack, and she’s my dear friend.
It's a nice local bar, I had the wild seared salmon with cauliflower "couscous" and it was delicious My husband ordered fish tacos and loved them too Service was a little slow because they only had one waitress, but she was nice and friendly The only thing I still don't like from some places and this wasn't the exception, drinks don't have their prices
Sept.1st my husband and I came to this location for some dinner and drinks. We have never been to a Bar Louie before and just thought we would stop in since we just moved into one of the buildings down the street. Our server was Luca and he was absolutely phenomenal!! He was able to suggest food and drinks that where fantastic recommendations!! We will be back regularly!
Food was cold and generic, drinks were average, service was ok.
Solid spot. I been to a few Bar Louie locations and this one is my favorite. Staff are really nice.
Atmosphere is just right. Great libation variety!
I came on a Tuesday to find out that bar Louie had $5 burgers. What a GREAT deal!!! My bartender, Jordan, recommended the spiked bulliet bourbon burger. So good with the whiskey sauce and the cream cheese. I think I’ll have to have that burger again.
Bar Louie has good food. The drinks are mediocre. The restaurant needs to clean/update the bathroom
Excellent place to eat drink and mingle
Amazing service, prices, and atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend
Had terrible service yesterday by our server Nichelle. Our party of 3 left the place and went to another restaurant in the area. I will never go back there again.
Came in tonight with friends and met the best staff. Derek, Jordan and Julia made my night! Will be coming back to see them soon!
Great location to printers row and Dearborn Station.
Drinks were good, food was above average. Cynthia, our server was very attentive and helpful. Highly recommended!
Great burgers and fries. Check their deals on tuesdays. Totally worth it!
I came here for a late night drink. Bar Louie was an amazing experience and the drinks are awesome. I had the Pineapple Sangria and it was delicious.
Awesome weekday specials. Ask for Kat, best waitress there for sure!!
Very nice staff, delicious food
Good atmosphere, good food and drink selection.
Megan is literally the best server ever!! I’ve had her a handful of times and everytime she’s so awesome and sweet!!! ❤️
Overpriced, TGIF-type, tastes-prefrozen food. Come for the drinks.
Had a great waitress & wonderful atmosphere
Great service. Staff was very attentive to my group. We had a great time here
Great customer service and food
Our server Catalina made this experience so much fun. So welcoming and caring, will definitely be coming back to see her. Great drinks and service!!!
Nice family place to watch the games and enjoy good and drinks
Came in on a friday to a fairly busy bar expecting to be turned away but was greeted and sat immediately. My husband and I had a great time laughing with our server and generally having a good time even through all the hustle and bustle. Id come back for 3 things. The diva martini, the buffalo chicken flatbread and our server Nixxi.
Katarina and Claudia were amazing at the bar!! Super helpful and got all of our orders on point! Also made sure to suggest the best dishes on the menu!! They made my experience here a great one!!!! Thanks ladies!! :)
Quick service friendly bartenders
Super nice, amazing bloody Mary's
Came in looking for dessert. In particular the key lime shiner. I found out it wasn’t on the menu any more.
love this spot. great specials on wednesday and thursday always get that th clover. the bartender jordan makes the best clover and always takes good care of me and my friends
I was in there for the $8 lunch special yesterday (02/19) and Claudia recommended the crispy chicken melt with tots which tasted amazing! Will definitely be back.
