Bar Louie - One Loudoun

Bar Louie offers a decent selection of food and drinks, but overall, it feels quite average. The menu has a variety of options, but none really stand out in terms of flavor or originality. The drinks are typical of a local bar — well-made but not particularly memorable. It's a good spot for a casual night out if you're not looking for anything special, but don't expect anything extraordinary.

I came here for the $3 mimosa, but the food was great and the waiters were super friendly. The Citrus Grilled Salmon I ordered was delicious, and my partner's NewOrleans Chicken & Shrimp Pasta was also very satisfying. Great restaurant, highly recommended.

The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere and attentive service. The cheeseburger was delicious and well-prepared. The fish and chips, while fresh, were a bit lacking in flavor. Still, it was an enjoyable experience overall, and I would consider coming back.

Very disappointing experience at this Bar Louie on Friday, Dec. 12. After being there for a few hours, I asked the DJ to play Latin music. DJ Timo played two bachata songs, and the response was immediate—the dance floor filled up and guests were clearly enjoying themselves. Before the second song even ended, the music was abruptly changed back to hip-hop and the dance floor emptied. When I asked the DJ about it, he explained that the on-duty manager, Ashley, had instructed him that he was no longer allowed to play any Latin music at all. Even he seemed confused, especially since the crowd response had been so positive, but said he had to follow management’s orders. When we approached Ashley to ask why Latin music was no longer allowed, she became defensive and focused entirely on denying that she was being called racist, rather than explaining her decision. No clear reasoning was ever provided for why an entire genre tied to a culture was suddenly off-limits. A manager banning a specific type of music—especially when patrons are clearly enjoying it—raises serious concerns about inclusivity. Ashley’s handling of the situation felt dismissive and unwelcoming, and it completely killed the vibe of the night. We ended up leaving shortly after. This experience directly contradicts Bar Louie’s stated values about listening to the neighborhood and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, under Ashley’s management that night, we did not feel welcomed or respected. I hope corporate leadership takes this incident seriously and ensures a more inclusive environment moving forward.

Dq dev and katie were such great bar tenders, they gave us what we needed and let us have the time of our lives. Come to this bar because you won’t regret it and make memories at this place. Look for Dq dev and Katie they will take care of you greatly

I have been coming in for the last few weeks and always see Devin. I was in there again tonight and even when he is busy, he is so kind and makes our experience so pleasant every time. He remembers our drinks and knows the menu so well. He is the reason we keep coming back, one of the best bartenders I have ever had. This bar is lucky to have him !

Came in on Sunday to watch football, enjoy some drinks and food. I Was immediately greeted by Jamie with a great smile and a positive attitude. Although it was really cold inside she made sure we had a great time along with Sam, who was serving. I will continue to come back and see Jamie, her service is amazing and her personality is great!

Hands down one of my new favorite spots! The atmosphere is modern and chic, perfect for a night out with friends or a date. Heidi, our server, was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great drink recommendations. The food was TO DIE FOR - the burgers were juicy and flavorful, fries were perfect and the artichoke dip and chips are a MUST TRY. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! 10/10 would recommend

devon was amazing wasnt too pushy and came at the right times :) and it was homecomeing!

Note: we came here (and drove quite a distance, since it was on InKind App. We want to pay the bill and they said they were no longer on the app even though the app still shows them on it. Very disappointed. For this, they lose a Star. Food (4/5): It's quality bar food. Tastes a bit fresher. The steak frites were cooked well and the truffle fries were great. We joined the Rewards club and got a free appetizer. Service (5/5): AJ was really amazing. She was incredibly kind and helpful! Ambiance (4/5): Upscale bar in One Loudon.

It was great the first night I went. This sexy bartender was there, wears glasses, forgot her name. Amazing service and very attentive. Went another night and there was another woman who was just terrible. Anyways, food was great, drinks were great from the first bartender. Atmosphere is poppin Friday and Saturday night; however the women think they're boujie and trynna find themselves an Elon musk type of guy. Oh and good luck trying to get a drink on the DJ nights.

I had the best night ever at this location , my bartender Tyshawn was super attentive and all drinks were amazing . The DJ had the place going crazy !!! made a lot of friends and really cant wait to go back again.

Stopped in during Happy Devin was so nice as he always is! Made me and my wife delicious drinks always a good time with Devin serving us!

Maybe it's very difficult to compete with bunch of alike businesses located steps away from, maybe it's difficult to be successful with so generic menu,like burgers and Caesar salad. Of course,it's hard to impress,but I should say that service was amazing, very friendly and professional servers. I ordered salmon with asparagus and roasted potatoes and it was very tasty,sauce was herb beurre blanc,delicious I should say. But asparagus was not trimmed,so half of stems were inedible. Our party enjoyed burger and fish and chips,but biggest issue was non working air conditioner with 80 degrees outside. This was very unpleasant, I think they shouldn't serve food when cooling is broken. All in all,nothing wrong with food,but with this much choices around not sure when I'll think of giving them another try.

Excellent service and food and drinks, a little on the pricey side but overall it's always good to go there, not my first time and not my last time for sure.

A wonderful place to get food and drinks with a group of friends! Both are so delicious, and my go-to drink is any of their sangrias! With quality food, an extensive array of signature drinks and cocktails, and live music at night, Bar Louie is the perfect place to hit up for a casual date night or a fun bar night with friends! Service is a hit or miss, but I've had more hits than misses here. If you want to avoid crowds, I recommend dining in during the day or before the dinner rush.

We dined outdoors with friends tonight. Our waiter, Andrew was attentive and friendly. He checked in periodically and took care of a few requests we had. My mushroom swiss chicken sandwich was fantastic. We will be back.

Brian was very attentive and provided excellent service for our birthday party! The food was delicious and the drinks were great! Would definitely visit here again!

I came in today or later this evening I guess in a pretty bad mood because it was so hot and my dog had ran away so I need a quick drink what I thought was gonna be. A one and done turned out to be a great experience. I'm at a server name maddie who knew exactly how to turn my day around with her upbeat attitude and her witty jokes. She really turned my day around. I'm not keen on places like like this because it's known for horrible service, but maddie has definitely changed my mind. I would definitely be back as long as she's there.

Came here for lunch. Jordan was our waiter. He was attentive and friendly and a very efficient waiter. Order the spicy honey chicken sandwich and it was amazingly great. The tater tops that came with were crisp and hot and not greasy at all.. some of the best I have ever had. My souse got the chicken Caesar and said it was fresh and tasty and they were impressed that the chef used real Parmesan cheese that was fresh. This was a great lunch and we will be back

Great service from Sarah. They served us quickly and our orders were correct. I'm adding words to my review because yelp says I need a longer post.

Best place ever!!!! Devon is probably the bartender I've ever met. Staff is amazing and extremely attentive. Couldn't ask for a better place to be tbh. 10/10 recommend

I was wearing a pride shirt and the owner or manager (? Not sure but he was talking to a contractor about work he wanted done on the patio) stopped me as I left the restaurant and asked to read my shirt. He then laughed in my face and said that's funny. (It was not a joke shirt) Not lgbtq friendly establishment

This place was amazing. We had a birthday celebration with a few friends, and the food was great. 10/10. The service was fast. We enjoyed the DJ later on in the night. It's a great place to be.

Kat served us during happy hour and she was an amazing addition to our day. she was kind, friendly and attentive to our needs without being intrusive or nagging. The atmosphere was amazing and we enjoyed our stay!

The food was fresh and the drinks were cold, extremely fast and friendly service (my servers name was Maddie) She was very kind and very speedy! A nice place to get food and drinks with friend!

Bar Louie is an old favorite when we lived in Herndon but since moving out to MD we don't have one so we drove back for the nostalgia. We use to rush to find a table on $5 burger nights. My kids always particularly liked Bar Louie. It's pretty laid back at this spot but I don't mind the vibe. It usually throws some people off who have never been to this location but it's usually "seat yourself". I come for the burgers and got an impossible cheeseburger. Food was good. Some hiccups with service but I think the guy was newish so understandable but overall good and would return again.

We had a great time at BL. Jo's situational awareness as a bartender was top notch. She for sure elevated our experience at Bar Louie! Thank you Jo!

There are no prices for any of the cocktails or beers in the menu, not sure if they change the prices randomly. Very disappointing to have to deal with this, will take my business elsewh.

Tiffany was great! Took care of us. Will see you soon. Thank you So much! Ask for Tiffany next time you're here. She has good menu suggestions And drink options

Came here for drinks and appetizers on Valentine's Day. Drinks were great and the cheese curds were yummy.

Andrew was a wonderful server and we would highly recommend Bar Louie! The food and drinks are amazing. Especially half price burger night on Tuesdays!

Had such a good experience with one of the bartenders today, super sweet and knowledgeable. Dev made my experience worth the visit. Recommended the Diva and honestly was the best martini Ive ever had in any restaurant. Food was amazing. I will definitely be coming back! for my first time here it was definitely the ride.

Great experience.. our server Tiffany was on point from the moment we walked in! She sat us and served us, and we never needed to ask for anything! thank you!

Friendly staff, good food, and great deals for happy hour! Jo was our fav bartender, very attentive!

Jordan was incredibly attentive, made sure we knew what we were requesting would meet our needs (even if there were mushrooms on the dish ), and ensured we were in a great locations/lighting. Excellent food too!

Kat was very enthusiastic and consistent. She made my experience very good. She is a great server.

Food is great. Jo and DQ are a dynamic duo ! Love them !!! General Manager needs to chill and make sure they don't run out of stuff to serve. Besides that the restaurant and atmosphere is great.

Loved the place. A big shout out to Jordan. He was awesome and very polite. Will definitely come back for happy hour.

Had a great time here!! Ruby was a great server and super attentive and gave us great recommendations for drinks and food! Atmosphere was chill but lively!

Great happy hour specials! I usually come on Monday's for the martini specials. Food is decent and prices are overall very reasonable. Devin at the bar is fantastic!

Good local watering hole in the area. Happy Hours has a good beer selection and apps. It's a kind of a singles hangout ... no issues, just saying. Tuesday Night there's the $5 Burgers not a bad deal... good burger.

Great food and great service. The food came out quickly and perfectly, and Maddie our waitress was outstanding.! The service in the food has been very consistent over the last few months! I highly recommend Bar Louie.!

I'm not really sure how I feel about this place - well this locations. I've been to Bar Louie plenty of times in DC and Tempe, AZ. It's always been fun times! We stopped in on a Saturday night, late, around 11 I believe. It was jammed packed. We were lucky to snag the only 2 seats at the bar. People hovering over your back to order. The bartenders are neglectful to the seated patrons, or at least they were to me. After 10 or 11, there's a late night menu only. Typically bar food, fried apps, no salads, burgers with fries or salad as a side but you can not order a salad as your meal. I thought that was pretty wack. We kept our drinks basic. Vodka pineapple. Gin and tonic. Basic! For food we went with the nachos and chicken quesadillas. Nothing to brag about with either. Wouldn't order either one again. Took 2 bites out of the quesadilla and spit it out. My friend ate a whole piece but didn't want another. It was a minced, southwest/Chipotle style chicken. Like frozen grocery store brand quesadillas. Hard pass! Wouldn't return.

Been here a few times during the week with my coworkers for happy hour. And we always leave happy. Good Happy hour prices glad bread and appetizers 1/2 off and cocktails love it! My fav veggie flatbread and dirty martini helps us make it through thr week. Customer service good, food and drinks always come out in a reasonable time no complaints here.

Shout out to Jo! I get a refill without asking and shes super friendly. Next time you're at Bar Louie ask for Jo!

Came to this restaurant as my friends in Ashburn swore by this place. My two friends ordered cocktails. I ordered the donut holes. Can't speak to how the cocktails were. My donut holes were simply uninspiring. And yes you may say what does one expect with donut holes. I'd expect them to at least be warm and soft on the inside. These were hard as rock to the bite and dry as if they were refried upon refried. The chocolate sauce was watery, like Hershey syrup, then watered down. You'd expect they'd at least met a Ghirardelli chocolate, am Not even asking for Belgian chocolate! The service was the only thing notable about the whole experience. It was only 9pm and the lighting was was dark in the corner booth, how could anyone see what they're eating to enjoy their meal???? It felt like you're in these sleazy dance clubs with really bad music since there weren't much customers! Am not surprised.

Great place for food drinks and ambience with your friends. Jamie and Dan are phenomenal.

Went here on a Saturday with friends for brunch. We arrived around noon and the place was empty. We sat ourselves and were promptly served. We ordered mimosas for the table and they were great. I wish I could say the same about the food. I ordered the Double Bacon & Egg Sandwich and felt like much was left to be desired. The breakfast potatoes were the highlight of the dish. My partner ordered the Baked Roma Omelet after being told that the restaurant was out of the Deep Dish French Toast. The omelet was very thin and disappointing. The entire omelet was lacking flavor except for a strange slightly fishy taste. The service was great. Our server had no issue with our party of 7. She was attentive and gave fast service. I would recommend this place for the service and the drinks but wouldn't recommend going here for brunch.

jordan was a great server. he put my fries in the bag. would recommend this spot on tuesdays, great burgers.

I wandered into the Ashburn outpost of Bar Louie while traveling for work. After multiple nights of takeout in my hotel room I was hoping for whatever passes for in-person dining these days. I had high hopes when I entered and saw they had found a way to create something like sitting at the bar (see photo). I was served a cold Lagunitas IPA in pretty short order. And then.... I waited for probably 15 minutes until further contact from the serving staff. I'm not sure if they are understaffed or poorly organized--seems a little of both, with individuals doing triple duty as bartender, barback, and server; other servers appeared occasionally but things appeared rather ad hoc. Staff was absolutely friendly and doing their best. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich which was quite tasty and piping hot, as were the fries. The fries were nice and crispy as well. No complaints about the food. I'd recommend Bar Louie as an option and will likely return on a future visit and update my review. Just be aware that they seem to be having some staffing/organizational challenges that may impact your experience.

I will NEVER come back here. My friends and I came to enjoy our night. We arrived went to the bar to get drinks and then the dance floor. After a while my fiancé went to get our friends jacket when he was put into a choke hold by a patron. This started a fight and WE were kicked out being called a faggot and other names. The bouncer did not want to hear our story but told us we could come back tomorrow. This place does not support the LGBT community and promotes hate. I will never come back here and will tell all of my friends what happened at this location. We come to have a drink and fun, go to grab our jacket, get physically harassed, and get thrown out. This happened the night of 1/12/2023.

Bar Louie is an amazing location for happy hour! I went there on a Thursday post work and had an excellent time. I ordered a passion and spice drink and it was incredible! I had a quesadilla and calamari for happy hour and the food was great as well. I highly recommend asking for some hour sauces because Bar Louie has their own custom hot sauces and they are great!

My family and I have been coming to the one Loudoun bar Louie location since it opened. I will be honest the experiences we have had over the years have fluctuated, but for the most part it is a very pleasant experience. There have been nights where we have gotten the wrong item, or service was slow. But 90% of the time it's great! The fries are always so delicious. The menu has changed a lot over the years as well, which has been very interesting to see. The staff is friendly and the service is usually very nice. The best day to go to bar Louie is Tuesdays because they have half priced burgers and flatbreads!

Checked out Bar Louie based on the atmosphere in the restaurant at that time, it was the right move. Excellent service from the start, we got seated pretty quickly. Once we got seated our waitress was there to start the drink orders and go over the menu. The food was good along with the margaritas, I'll definitely come back. One Loudon has ample parking for large groups.

Kayla Rhodes the bartender is very good at what she does. A great experience and friendly employees.

Came for a happy hour. Got beer and appetizers. Beer was good, but appetizers were questionable. It was half off for appetizers(very limited selection), I would be pissed if I had to pay full price for it because it was not the best. We got chicken Buffalo flat bread- soggy, tons of salt, looks like someone forgot to fully cook it. We also got honey jalapeño boneless chicken wings. Well, it was pieces of chicken and they poured honey on top with some jalapeño slices- the laziest dressing ever. Chicken got soaked in honey, became soggy and basically sweet chicken pieces. Would not recommend. But the highlight of all this experience that waiter started making fun of my husband for not ordering fast enough. Maybe he was trying to be funny, but, c'mon- so disrespectful. Therefore we shall not return.
