Bar Louie

I went here after work one Friday with a few coworkers.  It's kind of a strange location as it's in the first floor of a hotel.  The bar atmosphere was decent, though it would've been much nicer in warm weather where we could sit outside or by open windows.  
Our server was nice enough.  I believe she said it was her first week, and she did a pretty good job.  I am pretty sure she brought me the wrong beer for round 1, but it was hard to be sure, since it was draft beer.  The following 2 rounds were the right one though.  
We split a few appetizers, mostly chips and dips, and they were pretty standard.  To be expected.  
I've also been to Bar Louie in the Promenade in Bolingbrook as well as downtown Naperville.  I'd say the Bar Louie in Oak Brook is a level between the other two.  The Bolingbrook location is giant, and a better dining atmosphere.  Downtown Naperville is crammed, has awful clientele, and is much more of a bar atmosphere.  
Overall I'd say the Oak Brook Bar Louie is OK, and I'll likely go back again, but mostly because it's close to work.

Very small bar hidden away in a hotel. Food is great no doubt about that. Great to come watch a sports game. Trio dips and chips, buffalo chicken flatbreads were great to start off! I had the blue louie burger and it was a bit salty but overall good. Good service, not the best, I wish the servers were more friendly and talked more than just take your order.

I actually really liked this Bar Louie.  I think I like it better than the one in Oak Park.  It's smaller and has more of an intimate atmosphere which I like.  They also have a nice beer selection which we all know will bring the Rosie to the yard.  :0)

It is confusing to get to though.  You gotta go all around the lobby of the hotel to get there. And I think it's by the pool so be prepared to be bombarded by the smell of cholorine.  The parking lot is also a bit of a bleep show.  So if you're gonna stunt be sure to park your car far off so it doesn't come back dented.  

But getting back to the space itself.  I think it's very grown and sexy.  Darker lighting, not a lot of booths.  Very quaint.  This would be a nice place for a first date.  They do try to sell it as a sports bar but I don't think they can.  Especially with the Tilted Kilt being so close.  

The food is ok.  It's Bar Louie food.  So the same thing you got at the last BL you were at is the same stuff you'll find at this one.  Nothing more nothing less.  

Bottom line this is a date spot.  If you and your people are trying to kick it take it to Tilted Kilt.
