Seth D.

Modern, spacious two-level layout with a great casual vibe, though parking definitely looks like it could get tight during peak hours. Service was on point from start to finish, and the martinis were fantastic. For food, we tried the Hot Honey Chicken and Kickin' Fried Chicken sandwiches--both had good base flavor, but they came out a bit dry and didn't deliver the heat you'd expect from the names. Worth stopping in for drinks and the atmosphere, but the chicken sandwiches could use some tweaking.

This is such a fun place. Definitely a diverse crowd, which is always fun. The drinks were great, and the food was pretty good. The flatbread had great taste, but the flatbread came with garlic cloves on top instead of the garlic, being chopped or minced in some way. Biting into a huge piece of garlic was definitely not the highlight of my night. Other than that really great place and amazing staff!

I've been to this location multiple times and I'm usually very happy with the service, food and drinks! Stopped in for lunch today and it was pretty quiet which was perfect for us! Had the bbq chicken salad for the first time and it was perfect - love their loaded tots as well!

Grabbed lunch with our dogs. We love that the patio is dog friendly. Great shaded spot if you need to escape from the summer heat. We each enjoyed a martini with our food. I ordered the calamari as my meal (girl lunch) and it was fantastic. It had an Asian kick to it with the sweet chili sauce for dipping.

They have a $9 burger special on Tuesdays, and you can even order it to go which was surprising to hear. We were also shocked to find out that they are open until 1am during the week! I will say, it was a nice late night spot to grab a quick drink and apps. Sit with Jess at the bar! + spinach dip (3/5) + chicken tenders (5/5) + truffle fries (4/5) + spicy marg (5/5) + smoked old fashioned (4/5)

Chicken Nachos. Very filling. I get every time and split with 3 people. Plenty to share or makes a great dinner if you're hungry.

Bar Louie is always a favorite place of mine. I typically stick to the same meal which used to be the voodoo pasta. Unfortunately they got rid of that two or so years ago. I hope they bring it back someday! Since then, Ive had no problem trying something new every time and it's always a success! The flatbread (a little salty) and chicken sandwich (thick) are not items I'd get again but good to try. Everything else has been excellent. Nachos are always loaded. Tots are great. I tried fried pickles for the first time and they didn't let me down. Service is always great. Servers are honest if you ask for opinion on food/drinks. Their checks ins are on point too. Not too frequent, but just enough. Bar service is also top notch and make a strong drink if you want. It's almost always busy but never impacts the wait time or service you receive. Prices are good and reasonable. Prices have risen everywhere, but bar Louie remains consistent with portion sizes and hasn't gotten "conservative" with serving sizes/toppings. Including pictures over the last couple years along with last night (dec. '25) to show consistency. Must try if you're in the Carmel area. You won't regret it!

Bar Louie in Carmel is a solid, easy place to go when you want a good atmosphere, plenty of space, and friendly service. It is a large spot that feels comfortable for groups or just a casual night out, and the staff have been welcoming when I have gone. The burgers are good, not amazing, but the Tuesday night $9 burger deal makes them absolutely worth it and gives the place even more appeal as a relaxed local option. Oh and the outside seating is

Food & service were great. We were helped by the whole staff. Sat at the bar & the chairs were super squeaky but that was the only downside.

4 Side Buffalo Sauce..
Mack S.

I ordered blue cheese TWO times through doordash. The first time I just thought maybe someone read the ticket wrong so i placed a second order just for blue cheese sauce & again they sent me buffalo sauce. I tried calling multiple times and there was no answer.

Bar Louie's-Carmel offers great vibes on a Friday or Saturday night! We went in and sat at the bar. There's TVs available to watch sports and the DJ starts at 10 pm. There's a small dance floor area in front of the DJ area. There was no cover change. After a certain time, they do card to get in. I didn't grab any food this time, but I did grab a wildberry margarita. It was a little too sweet for my liking, but still a tasty drink. I'll definitely be back.

This is not the place for wine people. I saw no wine on any menu at The Broken Barrel. But, for…read morereal, that's OK with me. And I say this as a hardcore wine person. I fully accept that this is a safe space for bourbon people and whiskey people. (I know: Bourbon is a type of whiskey! Just go with me here.) They have a literal wall of bourbon at The Broken Barrel. Pro tip: Look at the menu and see what they offer, but then walk up to the bar and look at the wall of whiskey and bourbon, and see what they have available that day. What they have available and what's on the menu can vary. You might see some goodies on the wall that aren't listed on the menu. If I'm not drinking wine, then I'm drinking gin. Luckily for me, there was a gin drink on the menu, so I got that: The New Gatsby, which is Hendrick's gin, St. Germain, cherry and lime, served in a tall glass with lots of ice. It was refreshing, but I kind of wish it had more gin in it! It was very sweet and light, and the perfect beverage for someone who likes light, sweet drinks. A dirty martini was also ordered, which is vodka, olive juice and bleu-cheese-stuffed olives. They make a dang good dirty martini here! It's like drinking a salty salad in a glass, if you're into that sort of thing. The Broken Barrel is a dark, cozy space, and a good place to get a drink. Keep in mind that it's 21+, so adults only! But because this bar is attached to Wolfie's Grill, you can order food here, and get it sent to The Broken Barrel.

Another wonderful night at the Broken Barrel. This is one of Carmel's hidden gems. Attached to…read moreWolfie's, but a 21 and over space only . The ambiance is a quiet, private, speakeasy like environment. The only tv in restaurant shows black and white movies exclusively. Your choice- bar height tables or comfy leather chairs and loveseats with shorter tables. The service is impeccable. The bourbon and whiskey selection is top tier. The food is delicious with a large variety. Prices are very reasonable. Truly one of my favorite restaurants.

The restaurant is located on the second floor. The first floor has Pickleball courts. Upon walking in the restaurant it is quaint with as full view of the courts. No one seated me since it was a group gathering. I looked over the menu and identified what I wanted to order. I started with a fresh shrimp salad that turned out to be super good and fresh. It was more than enough for two people to eat. I was in the mood for wings and fries and they did not disappoint. The wings were seasoned and fried just without the burnt taste. The fries were equally good and had a unique seasoning that was pleasing to taste. One of the best kept secrets as this restaurant has not been opened long. This is great gathering for family and friends especially if you want to try pickleball and eat. I will definitely add this restaurant to my list. Sorta located in a strange area due to construction but can easily be found just be patient.

Outside of that there's no reason to go there

Food came out quickly and we did not feel rushed. The lunch menu offers a wide range of reasonably priced sandwiches, sliders, tacos and salads. I had the 1/2 Stromboli and Chopped Salad. The Stromboli was really good with a mix of sausage, pepperoni, tomato sauce, onion, cheese on a hoagie roll. The hoagie roll was too much bread so I just ate it without the top. The Chopped Salad was really delicious with fresh greens, candied pecans, cranberries and slices of avocado. The lunch came with a beverage. My husband had the steak special with fries and a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and he ate everything. His meal was an unbelievable great deal at $11. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. I'll return.

We sat at a high top table in the bar. Our server, Bailey (the bartender), was friendly and super attentive. She made recommendations and kept glasses filled. The craft beer selection is excellent with about 16 local options on tap. My husband had a Fall City "Hipster Repellent". The name alone is interesting, but he loved his beer. I had the Espresso Martini which came with roasted coffee beans floating on top. My cocktail went down easy. I also had a glass of the Berringer Chardonnay. The pour is generous. We shared a plate of Loaded Tots, which was wonderful. The tots are made from scratch in-house and covered with roasted bits of pork belly, cheese, a sauce and green onions. We LOVED the tots, which came out super hot. We also shared a plate of the Loaded Hummus. The plate is beautiful and colorful. The hummus is fresh made and loaded with bits of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and is delicious on a balsamic reduction. The hummus is served with a generous portion of fresh in-house made focaccia bread which tasted amazing. The Loaded Hummus is a winner in my book. Bailey our server was fabulous. She worked the entire bar and was an ambassador of the chef and menu. I wish we had time to stay for dinner because the food is outstanding. Each dish that we saw pass by looked delicious and artistic. I highly recommend. We will be returning for dinner soon. Easy 5 stars! We found street parking, but parking was limited.

We watch our calories and so kids meals work best. You get a protein and choice of two sides. We get green beans and fruit. And it also comes with a cookie. The food is pretty good. It does not always come the same and what I mean by that is sometimes the green beans will have no seasoning at all and then sometimes they will. Of course I prefer the seasoning but if none, I just quickly season them myself. I do hope to visit soon and eat inside the restaurant and will leave another review.

Our server somehow navigated his crazy, chaotic section with ease, making sure to check on us multiple times. I think I just had bad luck with what I ordered, because everyone else's food looked or tasted much better than mine! I got the Crack Dip, and some boneless wings with the dry goat rub (was recommended). The crack dip came with chicharrones, which was interesting. It tasted...fine. Just kinda bland with not much going for so it, other than being cream cheesey. Unfortunately the chicharrones did not really add much to the experience. My boneless wings were also the same... Fine. Kinda bland. The dry rub doesn't actually stick to the breading, so it was just plain chunks of breaded chicken tenders with a little pile of seasoning sitting in the bottom of the basket. My friends food however, was actually pretty tasty! The bone-in wings with chili garlic honey sauce were zesty and juicy.

And when they finally did, she made us pay before she ever served a drink. Not only that, it took nearly 30 minutes to complete our drink order. The worst part is that the bartender forgot one of our drinks and we were told she only charged us for two drinks instead of three which was a flat out lie. Especially since we had a long drawn out conversation about her inability to change the alcohol type in one of our drinks because it's premixed, you'd think she would remember. Sadly, no. We should have left then but were there for a watch party. So we ended up reordering and paying again for the missing drink. We moved to a different area of the bar and still experienced subpar service. Nearly every staff member in this place had the look on their faces like everyone was an inconvenience to them. Not one smile. Very limited interaction. And overall, extremely poor customer service. I would not recommend! Cherry on top: when you pay, they have the unmitigated gall to have the tip increments go from 22-30%. Not a one person who "served" us worked to deserve a tip of that magnitude. And I'm saying this as a very generous tipper! Never again....which I'm sure they don't mind since it's clear they don't care.
