Not sure how or why this shows up as a dive bar, because it is not. That's not a bad thing, it was just way nicer than I was expecting. They didn't have much in the way of beers, as they appear to be more of a cocktail bar. It didn't come off as boogie, but I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon looking from a break from the days work. I was able to walk to it from my location and it is close to L stations. I only had one beer, and took my time with it. The bartender Fantasia was awesome with me taking up a spot for +30min for only 1 beer, and next time I'd have her make me a cocktail instead. But even though I was reading, talking on the phone and generally distracted, she came back several times to check on me. They were more upscale than I was led to believe, but the vibe was laid back, almost like it was a Sunday afternoon. Would come back for cocktails and to try some food. Several ppl were eating and everything looked good.
Jordan was an absolute pleasure this past week, even so we came back twice before we left Chicago. He greeted us with the warmest welcome and a charming smile, very professional yet personable . The second night he was training, he was so patient and thorough, his knowledge of the recipes and menu was impressive, you can tell he loves what he does. His smile was contagious and he was so funny, his recommendations were spot on! Chefs kiss! Everything was phenomenal, thanks to him. Jordan if you’re ever in California, Skybar would love to have you!! Thank-you for turning a tragic visit into an unforgettable experience, your kinds words meant so much!
Never been to this Bar Louie Location before tonight but it's pretty cool with outside patio & some seating for upstairs. Food came out nice n hot & drinks were good but service from server was kindve poor. Moved from a table to the bar for better service & it wasn't even crowded. Came here on a Monday night for my girlfriend Birthday.
I’ve been going to Bar Louie for months, and I always sit at the Bar when David is Behind there. Today he was pretty Busy but he always takes good care of me and my friends so I didn’t mind having to wait for him to give me And my friends His undivided attention, its amazing how he always smiles no matter what, His charming ways are just as appreciated as his Drinks. Today He made Us these Two delicious drinks that He still haven’t Decided names for which I told Him I’ll help him out with because they aren’t on the Menu😂. I highly recommend going to go see him. He is Hands down makes the best drinks I’ve ever experienced!
Highly recommend going to go see him.
We had David as our bartender and he was absolutely AMAZING!! He made sure we taken care of! Made perfect drinks and assured that we got something to eat before the kitchen closed! Thank you David!! 🩷
Dropped in to wait for Uber surge prices to go down after a concert at soldier field. Great bar service although their kitchen was already closed. No problem, was a great way to close the night. Thanks to the whole staff for working the bar and room so efficiently. Definitely the best bar service I've seen in a long time.
First time to the Bar Louie in Chicago. The bartenders were a phenomenal as we had one young lady in training she had us laughing and we had her laughing a great team that works well together. Can I wait to return to see them again and have another amazing drink
I ordered a to-go order and think they forgot all the sauces. Dry and plain nachos, no cheese included at all. I asked for extra blue cheese dressing with my buffalo chicken wings and got no dressing at all.
Edited Review: the restaurant reached out and wanted to make things right. I know we all are human and probably my experience was not a typical experience. I look forward to trying the restaurant again in the future.
Stopped in after work for a quick bite. Staff was extremely attentive and friendly! Major plus that the food was tasty. Perfect Friday evening atmosphere for a teacher, or anyone looking to just chill after the work week! 10/10

I’ve been to this location at least 3 times and every time I’ve gone, I’ve had a pretty good experience! Bar Louie’s happy hours never steer you wrong! My most recent time going, my server was so helpful and kind. Drinks were delicious! And the flatbreads and calamari… cleaned the plate😂
