We have our Penn State TV Watch parties every football Saturday at Bar Louie. They've set aside a perfect area of the bar for our group. I've loved everything I've eaten there. The grilled tomato and cheese sandwich with a side of tasty tomato soup was great. Breakfast Louie is my favorite with perfectly made eggs over easy, and the best potatoes and toast. A nice assortment of appetizers are available, too. Service is very good and friendly. Unlike some bars, Bar Louis doesn't care if all our payments are individual. Kudos for that! A very friendly and clean bar situated in a fun part of the District. read more

Came into bar Louie for the second time before going to watch a movie, Sarah was our server and she was lovely! She had a smile on her face the whole time. She let us know it was happy hour and offered some great recommendations. Will be back! :) read more

We went during happy hour. And we enjoyed the food, service was good/ prompt as well... Def have TVs for sporting events, which is nice... We will definitely come back read more

This was the worst bartender service ever. All have 0 personality. Saturday 4pm ish 10/17 Bartender with low vneck shirt and tattoos on neck long black hair was not friendly at all. So we ordered the trio dip and beef sliders. The trio dip was awesome..... Then about 45 minutes later we still had no sliders. But everyone around us was getting their sliders. The bartender I mentioned above never checked in otherwise he would have known we didn't get our food. He didn't care. No restaurant personality at all. Sad So I had to get up and find another bartender to ask about our sliders. He ended up getting the sliders. Of course they were cold and fries were cold. Horrible. If I was a big jerk I would have asked to get the sliders taken off the check. But it's not the point. Very sad service for a fun place! I don't want anything free I just hope a supervisor or owner addresses the crew. Thank you read more

So good for happy hour. The regular pricing is typical for an american restaurant but the happy hour and other deals they have is so worth it. Usually they have $4 lemon drop or green tea shots, discounted margaritas and martinis, discounted apps and foods depending on the day. Service is usually really good and not a problem at all. But i've only gone late at night during the weekdays. I'm hoping to come for nfl sundays and wish i came during their love island events. Ambiance is overall super lively and you can tell people typically have a good time here. read more

I've been here twice and both times have been a great experience. I would like to say specifically our waiter, Nomi, she was AMAZING! Truly made our visit so much more pleasurable. From food recommendations to drinks to conversations. She definitely showed true hospitality and I would definitely come back just for her service. The food was great quality and serving as well with a nice ambiance. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I've walked and driven past this bar Louie countless times and finally decided to make my way in. From the outside it's giving taps brewhouse/Yardhouse vibes. Once you get inside it's a bit more confusing lol Firstly, you can tell that they were going for upscale steakhouse types of atmosphere, you have the tufted leather chairs with rivets, dark wood, and mood lighting but then you continue to look around and notice that some of the decor is extremely dated. They do have several TVs placed throughout the restaurant playing multiple sports games simultaneously. I will note that when it cuts to a commercial break, the volume is borderline unbearably loud. It would be nice if someone actually lowered the volume or adjusted the speakers to avoid this. The food itself was decent. The menu is not super large, but you've got your staples. Price point is a bit overpriced. The service was not bad, but not great lol. We arrived around 8 PM on a weekday and granted it wasn't very busy. We were seated right away and a server was with us immediately. We put in drink orders and food orders and both came out fairly quickly. About half an hour into our meal two large parties entered, and you could immediately tell that the staff was overwhelmed, the shift in service and how long it took to catch our waiter was immediate. Overall it's not a bad spot to have lunch or dinner but, definitely not a go to either. I would say it ranks below both yardhouse and Cheesecake Factory for the price point. We will try to catch their happy hour next time to see if that's the move! read more

A great spot for some pub food! Portions are huge and it's a great value! The chicken nachos were especially worth it at its price point. We got the mushroom Swiss burger and the Philly cheesesteak. While both were good, the Philly cheesesteak was especially yummy!! The variety of drinks was also expansive and both of the drinks we got were very refreshing with all the fried pub food. The only problem we had was that service was a bit on the slower end. We walked in as a group of 8 on a Sunday night. There were only 6 sets of silverware and it took a while for our table to get water even though the whole restaurant was not that busy. Definitely take advantage of the happy hour deals that they have on the weekdays! read more

We had such a great experience at Bar Louie for our Big 10 networking event! The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were wonderful, but Cynthia, our hostess, really made the evening stand out. Cynthia was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, friendly, and checked in on us throughout the event to make sure everything was going smoothly. She took such great care of our group and made sure we had everything we needed. Her hospitality and attention to detail did not go unnoticed! Thank you, Cynthia, for helping make our event such a great experience. We truly appreciate you and will definitely be back! read more

My wife and I came here to kill some time and have a few drinks and appetizers. We split the calamari, flat bread pizza and sliders. All were good, but the flat bread seemed to have too much crust and not enough sauce and toppings. Still a great environment for a quick date night read more

One of my favorite spots for comfort food! Bar Louie has become one of those places I keep coming back to especially for takeout. I've ordered from here quite a few times over the years. I've also dined in with my husband so I've had the chance to try a pretty good portion of the menu. There are so many things I love here so it's hard to narrow it down! The burgers are a MUST. The Mushroom Swiss Burger is one of my favorites & I get it medium well. I loved the BBQ Burger before the menu change & I'm definitely curious to try the new Chipotle BBQ Burger. The burgers are flavorful, filling & honestly hard to go wrong with. The Monterey Chicken is probably my #1 favorite entree. It comes with chicken breasts, caramelized mushrooms, artichoke hearts, roasted tomatoes, a lemon herb sauce, roasted baby potatoes & zucchini. The lemon herb sauce is SO good!! I seriously need the recipe! The whole dish is incredibly flavorful & filling. it's also great for sharing & I've had it with salmon substituted for the chicken which is another great option. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken is another favorite. Two chicken breasts with mozzarella, provolone, a garlic Parmesan panko crust, grape tomato bruschetta, roasted baby potatoes & zucchini. If you love cheesy, crispy chicken this is a satisfying meal. The Chicken Tenders with Hot Honey are another favorite of mine. The hot honey has that perfect sweet & spicy kick. I love pairing the chicken with some ranch. speaking of appetizers the Bruschetta is AMAZING. I've tried it several times since it was added to the menu. I honestly think it's the best bruschetta I've ever had. I could eat it constantly! The Spinach Artichoke Dip is so creamy & delicious. & the Chicken Quesadilla is a simple yet filling option. It has a generous amount of chicken & cheese which I really appreciate. The Pretzel Bites are great too & I was pleasantly surprised by the Cheese Curds. I've had a hard time finding cheese curds but I really love these & they are definitely worth trying. The fries & tater tots deserve a shoutout too. always taste fresh, crispy & flavorful. My toddler is a HUGE fan of the Mac & Cheese. She loves it & can't get enough! It's definitely toddler approved in our house. I also really enjoy the Flatbreads. The Margherita is my favorite but the Truffle Mushroom & Asparagus is delicious too. My absolute #1 is the Hot Honey & Bacon Flatbread. HANDS DOWN. This was actually one of my ultimate pregnancy cravings & I still love it just as much. The combination of sweet, savory, cheesy & the little spicy kick is SO good. The Beef Sliders are another great choice. the buns are delicious & the Bar Louie sauce makes them even better. I've also tried the Bacon Roasted Tomato Grilled Cheese which is such a good comfort food option as well as the Grilled Chicken Club. The lemon basil aioli on the chicken club is SO flavorful & really makes the sandwich. & I can't forget dessert! The Cinnamon Donut Holes are warm, sweet & delicious with the chocolate & caramel dipping sauces. Overall Bar Louie is one of those places where I know I can find something I'm going to enjoy. I've tried A LOT of their menu at this point & there are many things I order again & again. The portions are filling & there's a great variety. whether you're craving a burger, flatbread, comfort food, appetizers or something substantial there are plenty of options. My personal must tries: Mushroom Swiss Burger Monterey Chicken Hot Honey Chicken Tenders Hot Honey & Bacon Flatbread Bruschetta Spinach Artichoke Dip Mac & Cheese Fries Cinnamon Donut Holes Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

Ok, 3 stars for the restaurant but an extra star for our waiter who was freaking hysterical and made us laugh the entire time without being inappropriate or pushy!! So this was definitely a greasy over priced bar food type menu. Came here to grab a drink with a friend and had zero expectations to eat which was wise, because if you have celiac, you won't eat. Anything that could be made gluten free seemed a little bit high likelihood to be cross contact but our freaking awesome waiter knew exactly what could be altered to be "gluten free" so he may had been willing to work a little with the cross contact measures if I was legit hungry. Happy hour was limited on selection but the martinis were great for $10!! The patio was lovely and there was going to be live music which we missed but the warm up sounded great. I'd definitely go back for happy hour. The server, again, was super funny without being obnoxious or offensive when I mentioned my celiac (it happens quickly when people think it's funny) and honestly it was good vibes. read more

Wow! Came for the game, rumor had it it's a fun crowd and a great place to watch football! We enjoyed everything about this place! Food was hot and delicious! There's a manager, Cynthia, and she's great! Cynthia clearly runs a great team! Much respect to her, this is a busy restaurant and the day was so much fun. We'll definitely be back! Thank you read more

Great place to hang with friends; the ambiance is casual, they offer a great variety of food choices, the service was great our waitress offered a few suggestions in what to get and that made a big difference on our visit I recommend you try their happy hour if you are there to have a few drinks. read more

Great vibe good service. Nice outdoor patios with fireplace. Cool place to hangout. Spacious inside dining with plenty of seating by the fabulous bar or at the tables or booths all around.

Penn state football game viewing is now here. Early game and they opened early to accommodate us. Kitchen opens at 10. My wife and I had tasty brunch options. The baked egg dish and Louie breakfast.

I went to Bar Louie on a Wed night because I wanted to watch the opening day of Football. Was able to find a seat pretty quickly at the bar which was great and it was still happy hour and wing Wednesday which was fantastic news because I was looking for some wings. Lots of tables were full and the bar was busy but I wouldn't say it was SO busy that the service should have been as poor as it was. I finally had to flag down a bartender because I easily sat there for 5 min without even being acknowledged or offered water or menus or anything. The guy finally comes over and basically tosses the menu at me. Then I waited another 5ish minutes before I flag down the bartender again to get in my drink order and ask for some water. Wasn't even asked if I would like to order food, just quickly asked for my card to put on file. Finally get my drink and was ready to order food but the bartender quickly ran away after he dropped off my drink. So then another few min goes by and I flag down another girl that's not on the side of the bar I'm sitting at to get in an order of wings. Food runner almost drops off my food at the wrong seats at the bar, but luckily I caught her and was able to get my lemon pepper wings which were actually delicious. Meanwhile I realize I was never even offered a place setting but started eating and eventually flagged down another bartender who was actually much more personable and awesome. She was very kind and quickly brought over my place setting and more napkins. I'm midway through my wings sitting with an empty martini glass in front of me for pretty long time and finally the other female bartender comes back and asks if I want anything else to drink so I order my second martini and it gets dropped off. I appreciate not being rushed since the football game was on, but having to flag down the bartender 95% of the time to get served is what I was not pleased with on this visit. It's never really been an issue in the past, so guessing the bar was having an off day, but definitely annoyed and makes me question if I want to return any time soon. read more

An average experience overall. The food was okay, but there wasn't anything that really stood out. Since it wasn't during a busy meal time, I expected faster service, but it was a bit slow. Not a bad place, but there is definitely room for improvement. read more

5 Starts Out Of 5! First off I gotta say the hosts quickly helped us find a table to sit watch the Game! That was epic! Andy was helping clear our table as we finished our dishes. My server Ricardo was crazy funny! That guy was crazy hilariously good at his job, Carlos came by and asked if we were doing good and we excellently said Oh yeah! Everyone working yesterday gave it their all! I love the burgers and appetizers, very yummy! 5 Stars out Of 5! read more

Randomly went for Happy hour on a Tuesday and ended up staying for HOURS! Cynthia (one of the managers) was so incredibly friendly and welcoming! She kept checking to make sure everything was good, offered suggestions and made sure I had an amazing time! She's an absolute star of the show! She recommended I stay for the trivia night which I never do but I stayed and it was so much fun! The weekday happy hour specials are great! The fact they're open late to is a huge plus! Make sure you go and if you see Cynthia, tell her I said hi! She's amazing! read more

Easy to get a table on a Saturday. We came for drinks before going to Activate so can't review the food. The drinks were ok, as expected from a chain place like this. I had 3 of the same one, they were decent but not very consistent (even color between batches). For my 3rd one I had to specifically ask for the listed garnish, since for the 2nd the bar tender just didn't bother. Biggest reason this is a 3 star, is why keep the drink prices a mystery? Neither the website nor THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL MENU in the restaurant bothered to have any (they did list calories, since that's required for a chain of a certain size, but apparently not prices). Is this even allowed in California? You aren't going to bankrupt your whole family here but why keep prices a secret? I've included a photo of my receipt-- cocktails about $16 read more

We made a quick stop at Bar Louie before heading to the OC Fair. We had a group of 9 and were looking for somewhere that could seat us without a long wait, and Bar Louie was able to get us seated right away! Service was a little slow at first since there was only one waiter working on a Sunday, but once we got our orders in, the food came out pretty quickly. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and it ended up being the perfect easy stop before heading over to the fair. Would definitely stop by again! read more

Came to Bar Louie for dinner with my family. We ordered the Steak Frites, the Crispy Parmesan Chicken, Chicken Wings. It wasn't very busy since it was right after a holiday, but the food still took quite a while to come out. The steak came out more medium-well than medium--good portion size, but a bit tough for me. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken was flavorful, but not as crispy as I expected. The Wings Bone In were the highlight for me--really flavorful and crunchy. Overall, the meal had its ups and downs, but I'd come back to try other items on their menu. read more

Great spot here at the District. Good food, great service, and plenty of TVs for all the games. Might honestly be one of the best sports bars I've been to. I'm in town for work and wanted a place to catch a little MLB (even though my Padres are out of the mix ). Came with a few coworkers and we all had a great time. Our server (name to be added) was awesome -- super friendly and on point the whole night. They had burger specials today, and I went with the mushroom burger but swapped the chicken for need. Perfect size since I wasn't looking for a huge dinner. I subbed a Caesar salad for fries or tots... but next time, I'm definitely going tots. Grabbed one of the beer specials and added a little sauza shot on the side -- total win. Great vibe, good crowd, and an easy place to hang out and watch a game. Will 100% be back next time I'm in Tustin. read more

I've been to this place numerous times and ordered the steak frites but substituted the fries with baby potatoes and always ordered it med rare. NEVER have I gotten it med rare it's always been medium. But I keep telling myself, whatever it's a bar and im just gna eat it cuz it's the only steak on their menu plus im really there to watch football. Today I decided to order it the way I always do but over the phone so I can pick it up and just eat it at home cuz im tired. I tried to order thru yelp but there's no choice to substitute the fries so I call instead and the girl on the phone tells me I have to order from an app or their website and I tell her my dilemma. She tells me they don't substitute. What? I've ALWAYS ordered with substitutions and she says they're "not supposed to do that" so we go back n forth a quick min and she says "you know what I'll get my manager for you to talk to" so I said "you know what, forget it it's an act of congress" so she says ok bye and hands up I've been coming here for about 4-5 years now and during this time they've cancelled the football package for the better part of 2 years but I still was a patron. To add to this review, the current staff is completely new except for 1 guy who's a really cool bartender, so the hospitality I used to get there is gone. I've been there 4 times in the last month and it seems like I will be there less now. I mean I'd say that 75% of the staff is cool but the others that make up the remaining 25% make me question why I even bother. I have a small group of friends that meet there often and we usually get a table. But a few times that I've been there alone and walked up to the bar I got the cold shoulder and got left hanging for what seemed like an eternity. EXCEPT for the one guy I mentioned earlier who actually has been there since I first started going there. Now HE takes care of me. These other ones seem like they're waaay too busy even though the place is empty and there are 2 other bartenders. I had to ask a table server for my drink cuz the bartender ignored me. This fiasco I experienced on the phone just now regarding the steak is reflection of how their "service" is going down hill. I've given this place the benefit of the doubt numerous times but it's been one disappointment after another. It's too bad cuz I really liked the place. read more

Went at 7:10 on a Tuesday. They have so many tables open yet they want you to wait at the entrance... I mean come on wouldn't you want to sit people down and have them wait at the table and not at the entrance? They say it's a 20 minute wait with plenty of tables open inside and on the patio yet don't wanna sit a party of 2. You kidding me? We can sit down at any of the 10-15 OPEN TABLES and get some beverages while we wait? Or even if so just sit down and look at the menu and by the time you have a waiter ready to take our order we had more than enough ample time to decide what we want. Or better yet watch the game while we wait sitting down. Service needs to be improved, set the expectation that we can sit down but will be waiting 15-20 minutes for a waiter. Pretty lousy service and staff. read more

What can I say. BAR FUCKING LOUIE is a good name. Catchy. And not just 'cus it's my name in the Caucasian version. I probably came to Bar Louie randomly throughout the years, mainly at this Tustin Legacy / District location, but once in Downey, CA after having dinner at Lazy Dog. I typically would only come here to drink -- not 'cus I was avoiding the food, but because I usually ended up here post-dinner and in goblin mode. The last couple of times I was there (Sunday and Monday), I finally spent a little more time and realized it's a really cool and chill spot. The food is actually not bad at all. I like places with happy hour and some deals, and Bar Louie delivers on that front. And honestly, I'll just leave it with this: I understand now why Bar Louie (at least this location in Tustin) has such a high rating, especially considering the high number of total reviews. I think it fairly deserves a 4.5 and would leave that exact score if Yelp actually allowed a more granular, detailed, and specific grading scale. I like keeping it real here. But the reason I'm rounding up is because of the customer service and hospitality I received nights in a row, back to back. Tony Z, the bartender in particular, was awesome and so much fun to talk to and order from. His partner in crime who was there was great too. I forget her name, but she referred to herself as a certified bigback -- which resonated with me and basically means we're probably related. Cheers. I look forward to coming more often than I used to. The lemon pepper wings are way better than the ones at that miserable, pathetic Buffalo Wild Wings, btw. read more
