"Planned to open in December, Bar Louise is the Pasta Louise team's third Park Slope operation in a space on Seventh Avenue between Third and Fourth Streets; owner Allison Arevalo says they are going for a 'retro Americana' feel with cocktails and wines and small plates like oysters, crostini, hot crab dip, and meatballs, plus great happy hour deals and discounts for teachers and hospital workers given the proximity to Methodist Hospital. I also note that Pasta Louise opened in 2020 and expanded in 2021, converting the original outpost into a provisions shop." - Emma Orlow
