Bar Louise

"Good happy hour place for cocktails and light snacks. Service was excellent. I recommend the devilled eggs and the rose cocktail ($1 goes to their Scholarship fund!)"

"Beautiful cocktail spot in Park Slope. Went there for celebration and grabbed drinks and small snacks. The chips and nuts were great and so were the drinks. I got their version of an old fashion. Food/snacks: 5/5 Atmosphere: 10/5 Customer Service: 5/5"

"As a relative to Pasta Louise, we were excited to give this place a shot for some drinks. The staff were lovely, no complaints there. However, the rest of the experience left something to be desired. The drinks were underwhelming. One (top left in photo) flat out tasted as though they’d left out the gin entirely. Somehow my first drink (bottom in photo), despite being effectively an espresso martini with fairly rich and strongly flavored ingredients was oddly watery. The second I got (All The Rage) had a properly strong flavor but still fell short of what I’d hope for in an $18 cocktail. We did not end up getting food but, judging by what the table got beside us, the portion sizes were unfortunate. The main seating area in the back was quite stuffy and has a strong smell of… something. Like off gassing vinyl or fake leather. I’d imagine this is just from things being new, but surely they could have cracked a window for some ventilation. It’s not a bad spot and I’m sure things can improve with time while they get the kinks worked out. But there’s stiff competition in the area, where for the price you get a better atmosphere and better drinks."

"A much needed high end cocktail bar in Park Slope! The cocktails were exceptional (!), but the food and atmosphere have room for improvement. Keep in mind, this review is based on Day 4 of being open, so small kinks can get worked out. With the exception of the octopus, which may be the best I've ever had, the food was pretty underwhleming. Given the owners experience with Pasta Louise, I'm sure they'll figure it out. Pairing down the menu may help, it felt ambitious for the space. The food prep area divided the space in a weird way. The front bar is pretty cool and has nice light and materials, but the larger back room is standard wall benches, tables, and chairs. Some nice intricate chandeliers, but otherwise a slightly mismatched ambience."

"While we were there opening night, it seemed like it’s been there for years. Professional, cool vibe, amazing staff, extra special cocktails and the food! So yummy. Cozy and welcoming. Great attention to detail. I’ll be back and highly recommend going for drinks , small bites, and / or dinner"
