Great place for a glass of wine. Bar tenders are knowledgeable. Have not had any food yet. Mostly snacks

It's a great place to both try and buy wine. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The availability flights really makes the whole experience better and an appreciated option.

Love having this place in the neighborhood. They are so knowledgeable about wine, but in a really friendly and personable way. They also have really fun tastings pretty much every Saturday. The people watching on the patio is also fun.

Fantastic wine store and bar. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. We always have a great time at their free Saturday tastings. Love pairing something from their wine list with their tinned seafood selection.

These guys are so cool! Not only do they let dogs in, I feel like the workers here legimately want to get to know you and find you a good bottle of wine. My group accidentally stayed a little past their closing time (sorry!) and they were so chill about it and even chatted us up for the last little bit.

I love LouElla’s. They are my go-to for discovering new exciting bottles. And the staff are very helpful in guiding you to something new that suits your taste. The free wine tastings are a staple, and I’d highly recommend going. The atmosphere is definitely slightly more upscale than a standard bar, but I quite enjoy that. My only quip is that the snacks are a bit pricey for the size you get. But I don’t really go there for the food, so I’m quite unfazed. The folks at LouElla have a put together a wonderful experience for wine lovers of any interest/ knowledge level, and a community has formed around that in a special way. Well done, and see y’all soon!

I stopped by to scope things out for my wife. Finally a wine store that's got more of a bar vibe than store vibe that also has some great choices by the glass. I had 2 tastings and enjoyed the gamay the most, though I certainly would knock down the white bordeaux for awhile in this heat--great prices and real wine in a nice atmosphere. The servers behind the bar were very nice and quick to help everyone. 5 stars.

Customer service here is really bad. The prices here are too high for the type of atmosphere and environment it provides. Louella is really a cheap put together place that is overpriced. I would recommend spending your money at a different place that would provide you with better customer service as their employees are super rude. The saying - you get what you pay for - does not apply here. Unless you are into rudeness.
