    Lou's Blues was an experience. A great one! We raveled to Melbourne to visit family and found the Is fun place for after hours music. We walked in expecting blues music, but that night, the band booked was Switch, ft Ana. It was 80s Rock and my little heart started doing flips. It was fantastic! Every single person in there was having sooooo much fun! Immediate fan! And speaking of fans, there was definitely one on stage. Loved the atmosphere, service and will come back and try the food. We will definitely be back and bring friends.

    It was a good burger, and the servers were very friendly. The food came out quickly and was cooked to just the temperature that I'd asked for. The fries were hot and crisp. It definitely has a biker bar vibe to the place It's hard to get a better view than sitting there looking at the ocean while you're drinking a beer and eating a burger. I may go back sometime.

    Never disappoints. Cheap cold beers. Refillable mug w WHATEVER you want. Yes please tonight we got the 1.5# peel and eat shrimps. Delish!!! Great daily specials!! Do you love 70's & 80's rock music? Great tunes. Beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean!! Such a great vibe! The service is friendly. Though I feel they prefer locals. We've become regular and the staff has warmed up to us after 3 seasons. You can't miss if you come here. The balcony is the best.

    Live band

    Such a vibe! We popped in at the recommendation of a friend and we were so glad we did! There was a live band playing a ton of 90s and 2000s alt rock and other music, not to mention some really great line dances and merengue between sets. The crowd was electric and dancing like no one was looking which was refreshing. The drinks were fantastic and reasonably priced. I stuck with the margarita and the hubby, whiskey and corona along with ice water. Refreshing and delicious combo. Special mention.... A duh moment... I left my phone in the ladies room stall and was able to retrieve it at the bar's lost and found! What a great group of people. We loved this place! Take a visit any day of the week but Saturday was amazingly lit!

    Lou's Blu's is the perfect place to go hang out and listen to some of the best bands in Florida, it's always a good vibe and excellent music to listen to while having drinks and food while you party...

    Obviously, this location is awesome right on the water although the parking lot prohibits you from really seeing much of the beach. It's a great little bar. I wasn't able to experience any of the live music. I did have the oysters and though they were a bit gritty and lacked a little in taste. They were good for a bar. Service was great bartenders were amazing. I would definitely return but on a night where there was more going on.

    Rude service, expensive beer, your typical hole in the wall dive bar. Not worth the visit.

What has greatly suffered however is the experience and ambiance. Don't get me wrong. The service also is still very good to excellent. The building design and decoration and paint looks and feels cold, industrial and unfriendly the floors look like unfinished concrete, the tables and wooden benches don't have a quality feel. It lacks character, charm and warmth. As much ch as I love the sandwiches and raquet fries and the service I just can't shake the stark industrial ambiance and feel. The outside feels a bit better but just marginally and it's just too darn hot to eat outside most of the year. Both old locations had charm and energy and a friendly flair about them. The ambiance is 2 stars but because the sandwiches are still great and service was good to great I'll still give four stars. Unfortunately I won't be coming by very often and won't choose it as a place to bring friends or employees or clients to for a bite and a drink or two. I hope an upgrade will be in the cards.

The food for our larger party came out hot and fresh and pretty quickly! I thought the chicken cheesesteak was interesting. Definitely not what I'm used to in the Philly area, but still tasty nonetheless. The chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and the waffle fries were heaven. I love the casual seating outside and the slightly more elevated, brightly lit, indoor seating as well. The bathrooms were clean and well lit.

Lawren did an amazing job, 5 stars for sure!!Any questions that we had she was sure to get the answer. She was extremely personable and professional and will do a great job there. The food did not meet 5 stars. The table ordered crab cakes, crab hushpuppies and Rockefeller oysters. All were good but nothing more than 4 stars. Not quite hot enough and lacked flavor. I also ordered a chambong which was good but was not the same as I had at Shoreline in early December. In early December, the caviar included a spoon of crème freshe; however, last night was a wilted spoon of greens at best. Will I return? Yes, absolutely. I will write off last night as a slow night given it was a Tuesday evening. I wish Lawren all the best as she was a very personable server and was well prepared to get any questions answered.

It has the seafood broil smell that makes your mouth water. My husband got the fish and chips but substituted the fries for the Mac and cheese. The fish was great, it is haddock and not overly breaded and the Mac and cheese was very good. It is not the box mac and cheese that many places try to give you as a side. I got the crab cakes that are on the small plate menu. They were not large and over breaded. They had a lot of crab meat and the sauce that came with the fennel salad on top was very good. The server Kila and the owner Krista are awesome and the experience was great.

Food is solid, bar food, but still very acceptable. I had mahi mahi tacos, besides the fish being little tougher, everything else is pretty solid. My husband enjoyed his burger, meat was cooked nicely and was not too dry, which is usually a big complaint, however this team made it very good. I don't know that food is to die for, but the ambiance, service, friendliness is on point. The waitress was absolutely amazing, she came and checked on us just enough that we felt seen but not too much that it pressured us. We didn't even want to leave, staying there and hanging out is so much fun. Overall highly recommend for some more quiet and low key nights. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we will be back! P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not the stars reflect that.
