More information on Bar Louie

A slightly more upscale take on the neighborhood-bar concept, Bar Louie has built its reputation on better-than-average bar food and a creative selection of beers and cocktails. Professionals gather here after work; their restaurant and club equivalents stop by between 1 and 3am. Bar Louie isn't doing anything revolutionary, but its friendly service and approachable atmosphere make it a popular spot for locals who want a casual night out. In the past few years, outposts have also appeared in the West Loop (123 N. Halsted St.; tel. 312/207-0500), Lincoln Park (1800 N. Lincoln Ave.; tel. 312/337-9800), Lakeview (3545 N. Clark St.; tel. 773/296-2500), and Bucktown (1704 N. Damen Ave.; tel. 773/645-7500). Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
