It was a rainy night we all made it in before the storm started. Bar Louie was crazy fun my friends were there for a Birthday Celebration we had drinks , a strawberry margarita, a peach margarita, three coronas, two shots, a regular margarita and a martini. I can't remember if the music was loud or not we were playing a card game at our table so we were engaged and thoroughly enjoying our time. we also had a flatbread , calamari , the trio dips & the loaded tots( wished the tots were fried a lil harder they kinda was falling apart when we tried to pick em up to eat them-and the lemon pepper wings normal size chicken wings most places have wings sooooo big they look like lil turkey wings (I don't like that size) and did you know on Wednesday? They have wild wings where the wings are 50% off eight dollars what an amazing freaking deal we didn't find that out from Keenan, our waiter until after. When the bill came !! Anyway you should go try em out !! We did read more

A group of friends and I met up at Bar Louie after the rain washed out our other plans. We likely had the first reservation of the day at noon on a Sunday but the reservation wasn't needed. Lots of tables and fortunately the friends were already seated. When we arrived we asked if there were menus, but the servers had to go on a quest to find them. In the interim we could use a QR code, a fine solution but a little weird that menus could go missing. The drink was good, but that's really the only highlight beyond them airing the Jags game. When trying to order, I was going to order sliders but was told they were out. It is a little odd that they can make a burger but not a slider so we are assuming they ran out of buns. The burger I ordered medium well and had high hopes as a place like Bar Louie should excel in the burger realm. Unfortunately when I cut into the burger it was undercooked for my liking. My meal was already the last one brought out and after receiving it no one really checked back in. I spent most of the meal eating the fries and working to convince myself that the burger was fine. It wasn't really fine. Ate half and the server cleared my plate without inquiring about the other half eaten portion, meanwhile friends were offered boxes. Maybe she knew? Who knows? The other major problem with our visit was the lack of airflow. It is generally a safe bet to eat inside in Florida if you want to stay cool, but on this day being outside would have absolutely been better. Overall it didn't seem like there was a lot of care or concern over the entire experience which feels like more of a result of the owners/leadership. read more

Bar Louie - "Medium well" Bacon Cheddar Burger - Bars Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

This whole experience was really sad. We were one of the lucky few who got to attend the relaunch of the new menu for Yelp elites just over a year ago. We had such a good time that day (at the UCF location). The menu was good the drinks were good and we were excited to add bar Louie back into our available rotation. There's so much to say I'll just start at the beginning and lay it all out. As we walked in we were barely greeted just told to sit anywhere, luckily our party was already sat so we found them ourselves. It was noon on a Sunday so still very early in the day. We immediately noticed it was sticky inside, like humid. It smelled of mildew and it was exponentially worse as you made your way to the restroom area. The restrooms deserve their own section so let me pause here to share that experience. Either the floors were wet because there was no AC and it had just become too damp or someone sprayed them down with a hose and never bothered to mop up. (I'm speaking of the women's specifically). All the paper towels were sitting on top of the dispensers, there was no toilet paper in the rolls but lucky for me there were new rolls sitting out so I was able to open one for myself. Problem is, there was no where to put it after I used it-no available ledge besides the back of the toilet itself which just isn't sanitary. It was as though someone had started to try to fix the paper towel situation because the plastic key (iykyk) used to open the holder was sitting on the sink counter, but something happened because the execution never happened. No air flow/no ac in a bar restroom after what I imagine was a busy Saturday night in winter park...you can imagine how it smelled. Let's get back to the rest of the poor experience. The poor server mentioned that the AC has been broken and she indicated that it had been a long night the night before with the heat. She didn't even actually apologize for our experience she just agreed that it was a problem. It's not her fault, she shouldn't have to own that but someone should...a manager, supervisor, something. The bright spot was the drinks. They were good. The lemon drop martini 5/5. I ordered the avocado toast (pictured) and it was fine (3/5) BUT the plate it was served on had just come from the dish machine. Like scalding hot...for lettuce. The side salad was wilted to my plate because of how hot it was. It also didn't come with dressing, I had to ask for that separate. My partner got a burger ordered medium well and it was so rare that the pink liquid had run into the bun making it soggy. The server never came back to ask how anything was so we never got a chance to ask for it to be fixed. She only ate half and then the server just took it away. She didn't even ask if we wanted a box with half a burger left (we didn't, but it would have been an opportunity for us to show her how raw it was--don't get me wrong I will eat a medium rare steak but ground beef isn't it). I've worked in the restaurant industry, and I know how hard it can be when things aren't great from the top and this poor server just looked like she was making the best with what she had. The first thing she did when she approached our table to take our order was start by saying "let me tell you what we don't have Sundays are always hard we are out of a lot by now." And she wasn't lying. They were out of quite a few things but that is literally not her fault and she will be the one penalized for it all day in her tips as people will be disappointed. read more

We have been here a few times, not recently tho. And after our time here today, not sure if we will be back. Our server was nice. The food wasn't too bad. The truffle burger had good flavor. My martini was ok. Thats the only good thing I can say about the experience. The AC was not working in the building. There were no fans to help move air, so it was warm and stagnant. Looking up at the ceiling, you can see mold on the AC vents, on ceiling tiles, and around light fixtures. Our server told us that for almost all of August they didn't have AC either. I would close the restaurant... not very good working or dining conditions at all. But the mold... visible mold around the restaurant.... Absolutely disgusting. We will not be back. This is Winter Park village... I expect a lot higher caliber of care taken in the presentation of the business. read more

Atmosphere here is great, with live music on some nights. I sat at the bar, so service was friendly and quick. The drinks are amazing with a solid selection of martinis.

We had a big group of us who went out for drinks and food and came across Bar Louie. Our server was Tanisha I believe and she was amazing, super friendly and willing to assist in any way possible. We ordered a few drinks and appetizers while we hung out. The drinks and food were good, not great but not bad either just good. Bar Louie is a pretty cool spot to hang out at and service was great but food is average. read more

One of my favorite places to go to! They have a great happy hour menu and regular menu. Drinks are half off during happy hour and they have plenty of other good and cheap options during that time. The nachos were loaded as you can see and very delicious. The burger was well seasoned and juicy just how I like it. I will always recommend Bar Louie, they disappoint me! read more

Bar Louie in Winter Park is a nice stop before heading to the movies! We always grab a martini or two as well as their truffle fries. We also have ordered their fried pickles to go and brought them with us into the movies :) Bar Louie is your typical bar food, with a few options that are exceptions. But I wouldn't call the food "high quality" or "fancy" by any means. But if you need a snack or beverage before heading to the movies, it's a solid choice. My one complaint is the amount of olives in the dirty martini. I need at least 3 (see photo with 3 haha). But one time we went, and after our first round of martinis with only one olive, I asked for extra olives and she gave me two LOL. Like I said EXTRA not TWO. Also the bartender spilled a good chunk of the martini on the ground (we watched it happen) and she said nothing. So it can be hit or miss with the bartender, so keep that in mind. I'll still come back as they have a solid happy hour (Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm)! read more

It was date night and wanting to watch the game. Had not been here in a little bit and wanted to try it out again. It was not overly busy at all. Got an outside table and the manager changed tv for us. Started out with the spinach and artichoke dip. This was a little disappointing as the dip itself was not very much and lacked a little flavor. I got the chef burger with tots. She got the grilled cheese. Both were good and flavorful Will of course come back and try something new read more

Went here with my friend on Saturday. We both started off with some drinks. I asked for a high noon and the server brought out a Jai Alai (IPA)... she insisted it was a high noon and I told her it was 100% not a high noon lol. She showed me the screen and it said Jai Alai... understandable confusion- they sound similar. She left the beer because we had sipped it and my friend decided she'd just drink it. The server ended up coming back and taking it which seemed weird? Anyways. We ordered our food (I got salmon sliders, she got burger sliders)... after about 30 minutes my sliders came out. Honestly- they were really good. Unfortunately they weren't hot. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the fish was tender. The buns were a bit dry and hard but the sauce helped. The fries were stale. My friend's burger sliders came out about 10 minutes later which I thought was odd because the restaurant was not packed at all. It's nice when everyone's food comes out together and it sucked mine came out first and was already cold. She asked for some ranch for her fries and it took literally 15 minutes to get it. Our server disappeared. We didn't even see ANY servers walking around for that amount of time. By the time my friend got the ranch she was done eating. The place definitely feels understaffed. It's disappointing because this place is such a vibe and it's in such an awesome area. The inside has good music playing, low lighting, lots of seating to go with friends... and the outside is awesome too because you get a view of everything going on and there is fans to keep you cool. Some music would be nice though (outside). Unfortunately I will not be returning. This was my second time trying this place out. My first experience was similar. Long wait times, bad service, mid food. The server was super sweet and kept apologizing but it was issue after issue. I hate to give bad reviews but this was just not a great experience. read more

Martini Mondays will always see me, and they're a great deal! the food is also amazing they have a large selection for happy hour, i really recommend the margarita flatbread, the garlic, and the pesto are amazing on it.

Recently this place has hired new servers that don't even compare to there original staff, Victoria' attitude/service/bar knowledge almost kept me FAR from this place however I came back tonight hoping for a better experience, one that I remember I could receive from this establishment. Keke is absolutely phenomenal and I can't believe I don't see her here everyday !! We need more people like her behind the bar, her service and consistency is the reason I come back so often! She's amazing and will continue to be the reason I come back to this establishment. Not sure who the hiring manager is but unfortunately the new bartenders aren't upholding to the standards that were set by keke and the others when I first came into this establishment. read more

Have attempted to go a few times in the last month located near the movie theater, wanting a quick bite before the movies The first time they had an extremely limited menu which made it hard to choose anything they had because they were out of one part of one ingredient of almost every dish The second time the kitchen was closed and they only serve served drinks so we were unable to eat that The host both times was the same young lady with blonde hair was a little snippety and seemed pretty much over the fact that the kitchen was out of stuff we're having to explain it Been to other bar, Louise and other states and always had a great experience. Just wanted to try it again. read more

4 Stars for great service, solid basic cocktail drinks, and a prime location by the movie theater, I arrived early enough before a movie to grab a bite and some drinks with my party. Jeremy, our server, was truly great. From the moment we sat down to the moment we left he made us feel welcomed and taken care of. I got a martini, so it was pretty simple, but my sister got a spicy watermelon marg and really enjoyed it (she mentioned she didn't like marg mixes and this one was recommended by our server). In terms of food, I got the burger sliders with tots and they were perfect for sharing. They came with a signature sauce, and we enjoyed them! We got a few other shareables and they were solid (not super special, but much better than anything you can get at the theater). Overall, good service and location! read more

Our experience there did not meet our expectations when going to any Bar Louie restaurant. Our waiter was polite and professional our entire time there. But the food selection and quality was not up to par. We did have a big group but the wait time was really long even though it wasn't peak hour. It took several attempts to get our orders right. But by that time, we had to get ready to leave. read more

It's always a good time at Bar Louie. I'm surprised I haven't wrote about this place yet for the amount of times my fiance and I come here! This is our preferred location... shh. We were welcomed by Chris, and unfortunately - we came on the weekend where they didn't have a full menu due to one of their kitchen equipment being down. Not to worry - their limited menu was just the same. We shared the chicken Caesar salad and seared salmon, with a couple of beers and side cars to pair with. Chris was extremely hospitable and made sure our drinks were never empty. We were so lucky to have him serve us. He also mentioned that he's new the team. Welcome Chris! They did well hiring you. Now, can we times you by 10? Excellent service despite the half kitchen. read more

When I'm craving a good buffalo chicken flatbread, Bar Louie is my go-to. This was my first time visiting the Winter Park location, and overall, it was a good experience. We were seated right away, and our server greeted us shortly after. We stopped in for some small bites before catching a movie across the street, so we kept our order simple with the buffalo chicken flatbread, nachos and a couple of drinks. We were there only for small bites as we waited for our movie start. We ordered the buffalo chicken flatbread, nachos and drinks. As always, the buffalo flatbread did not disappoint--it's one of my favorites! The nachos were good too, perfect for sharing. I tried their version of a Moscow Mule, but I didn't enjoy it. If you're in the area and want a chill spot for bites and drinks, this Bar Louie location is worth checking out. read more

The food is getting 1 star because there were a lot of items that weren't available!! JUST CLOSE ALREADY. Service: We had to ask and remind our server that we needed EVERYTHING: soup (the soup came out 10 minutes after the food (reminder)), salt & pepper (multiple reminders), water (multiple times), no cheese on the burger (it was scrapped off). Atmosphere: the paper towel rolls were sitting on the wet counter because the dispenser didn't dispense. read more

Stopped by Bar Louie and was pleasantly surprised to find it pretty keto/carnivore-friendly. They offer a lettuce bun option for burgers, which was a big plus. It's always nice to have that flexibility without having to ask for a bunch of substitutions. That said, the overall experience was a nothing special. The food was decent, nothing bad, but also nothing that stood out. Flavors were pretty standard and forgettable. If you're just looking for a bite out that fits your diet, it'll do the trick, but don't expect to be wowed. Service, unfortunately, was sub par. Our server seemed distracted or just not very attentive. Definitely not the kind of service that makes you want to come back soon. I always graciously tip typically regardless of what the service but I was very disappointed at the server glaring at the screen as I pressed my tip option. It was tacky and I felt pressured to give her the higher option/more than the service deserved due to the service. All in all, it's a convenient spot but don't go out of your way for it. read more

Best Burger Deal In Orlando - $8 Burgers on Tuesdays at Bar Louie This isn't a joke or some gimmick where the burger patty and bun is $8 and you're upcharged for everything you add. They have a great selection of specialty burgers to choose from. You can't go wrong with any of these burgers. They have great flavor. The $8 dollars even includes your choice of fries or tots. I typically go during lunch. The service has always been great. Food comes out hot every time. Brooke is a phenomenal server. Sophia helped us today. She was also a great server.

Mediocre experience honestly. I don't see the hype or appeal. I was here with a large party, so we got a good bar of appetizers to try. The service was decent. We were sat outside in a table in the corner (not by choice, and we didn't request anything specific). The table was still wet from the rain. Understandable, but they didn't offer to dry it, they handed us some towels to dry it ourselves. Kinda rude. The food was mid tier. Nothing special or with any real wow factor to bring me back. All the food tastes similar to any other bar. The sad part, it was on the lower end of quality for bar food at that. I haven't been to a bar Louie since my days in college. I didn't see anything that would bring me back. read more
