It was my first time at the Bar Louie in Kirkwood. We had a great time and experience at this location, much better than the Chesterfield location experience, which is closer to our house. I think it was so much better because of our bartender Kelsey. She was so great and so much fun! She checked on us regularly, made sure our drinks were never empty (which is a hard job when it comes to my husbands drinking), and was very knowledgeable of the menu. We will definitely make the extra drive to Kirkwood just so she can be our bartender!

Food here was okay, just had Burgers but had a hard time hearing my friends I was dining with. Would not go back just because it's way too loud in this restaurant.

Service was ok, very slow. We order an appetizer of fried pickles. Worst fried pickles ever, there was more fried breading in the basket than pickles, and the pickles were soaked in grease. We decided to just pay our tab and leave instead of getting dinner. Numerous customers around us seemed discruntled as well. I think it's a hard pass with the other options around the area.

I don't ever leave reviews but the service was crappy. I'm a waitress I can sympathize and understand but when I tell you there was mabey 7 tables between inside and outside all together I'm not being dramatic. Took 30 min for food to come out (very basic simple things, dip, nachos, wings) took 15 for our drinks to come out. Had to go inside and ask for our check and boxes. I'm thoroughly not impressed. Food was delicious tho. To top it off the bathroom was out of soap but that was just me being picky after they already annoyed me.

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had, and I didn’t even plan to dine there. I came in on a Sunday around 2pm after studying next door at Kaldi’s. The place was not busy at all but I somehow waited an hour and 15 minutes for a to-go chicken club and fries. I overheard the waitstaff apologizing to other guests in the restaurant the entire time, responding to complaints about food time, waiting at tables without anyone ever coming to bring menus or drinks, forgetting about guests they had at tables outside, ordered drinks never arriving to the table, and food not tasting as great as it “usually is.” Good on the staff for apologizing in general, but I’ve worked in restaurants for years and these issues were all avoidable. Several other tables and guests walked out after receiving no/slow service, but I couldn’t even leave since I paid for my to-go food when I placed the order. Many guests also came to the bar to cancel food as it was taking far too long. Do not recommend.

HAD VERY GREAT SERVICE COCKATILS WERE VERY GOOD AND THE FOOD CAME OUT QUICKLY AND IT WAS HOT AND FRESH GREAT DINING EXPERIENCE WILL BE
I love the look, feel and service I get at this location - the food and soft drinks though?They really do need some help.The mix on the carbonation of their drinks is regularly just not up-to-par. I really enjoy the burgers which are hot and fresh, but - in our last visit, I stepped outside of the burger vein to get: The Fish & Chips.These were four fish sticks at best - with tator tots, for $19+. This really does need to be looked at in regard not only to the quality of the fish, but - what is actually given. I didn't take a photo of what I was eating because I was with a group of people there but - please: do try something different with your fish & chips or consider removing/replacing it on the menu.We'll be coming to your location again soon and I'm eager to have more great food to add to the tremendous atmosphere, service and conversations that we've been having there now for months.Thank you!

We live next door and so want this to be our go to place. Unfortunately, each time we try to give them a try the bar is dirty, the staff is inattentive, they are out of what we want or some combination of all of the above.What we experience each visit is a reflection of the leadership of this establishment. We have to assume those in charge don’t care and, hence, those who work there feel the same.It continues to be a sad place and that is unnecessary and so unfortunate.
Terrible service on a Saturday late lunch. Manager rude. Staff there are not well kept they look like they don't take care of themselves...like total wrecks. Sad.

My husband and I had a delightful visit here. The cuisine was exquisite, and we appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, especially on a Saturday. Our server, Kelsey, provided exceptional service, leaving us with no complaints whatsoever. We’re looking forward to returning soon!
