Real Deals: ‘Louie, Louie, oh no, sayin’ we gotta go now…’

Tarrant County can now sing “Louie, Louie” with the addition of the second Bar Louie location, opening in south Arlington on Oct. 22. The Addison-based chain already has a location on West Seventh Street in Fort Worth and will open the doors on a location near Chuy’s Mexican Restaurant in the Arlington Highlands shopping center. To celebrate its grand opening, Bar Louie will have several specials including offering guests their first appetizer or flatbread free. “What we’re doing is unheard of. I couldn’t think of a better way to open,” said Andrew Steiner, Bar Louie general manager. “Guests are going to be blown away with not only the menu selections, but with the quality of the scratch kitchen food and handcrafted drinks.” Located at 4001 Bagpiper Way, the 7,482-square-foot space includes a large patio with wrap-around bar, fire pit and soft seating area. Bar Louie is an eclectic urban bar and eatery featuring handcrafted signature martinis. The bar also has a selection of 20 beers on tap and 22 wines by the glass.
