First time there was 3/30/25. Cash only with a $3 ATM charge. The place was about the size of my living room. I've spent many years in the music scene and this place was NOT made for music. Not to mention the other "venue" next door also had a show going on right behind them, which destroyed the sound. The beer prices were reasonable, but the bar tender didn't open the beer for me. There was no seating. If my band was booked to play here, I would walk out. They have "liqour" drinks, but its wine based liqour you would find at a gas station or arcade. Would more than likely not come back. 1.5/10 Liam Hennessey is the shit and would support him 10/10 times!

Came up from out of town to see my fiance's band play here. It's small and filthy. Owner Lou would not provide water for the bands. He told them "get it from the bathroom tap". Did not allow any of the band's equipment or merch inside because there's no space. Lack of space means we are basically hanging outside in a gutter by the street the whole night between sets. Shortly after the show wrapped up he was rudely telling everyone parked behind venue to GTFO and move their cars. I did not enjoy my time here.

I went to this establishment for the first time last night to see some local bands including Cold Subject, a band that used to play frequently but not as often anymore so I was really looking forward to it. I watched as they played their first song and noticed the sound was way off. The band members were not allowed to touch the equipment (I later learned they had to use the venue’s faulty equipment) and because the sound was so distorted by the audio output, they only were able to do one single song out of their set. They were still trying to show the “audio techs” how to work their equipment when the next band came on.
I usually watch all the bands that play in a night, but after that fiasco, I wasn’t going to be spending any more money there on food and drink, so we went home. 100% do not recommend. I’ve been to hundreds of shows at local venues. This was the absolute worst. Hire experienced sound guys, upgrade your Chinese equipment and then offer local bands to play. There is a huge market for this in Central Florida, but you have to prove yourself as a decent venue. I won’t be going back.

Was a fun dingy place to play. Perfect for a punk show although a very tight squeeze. I'm not sure what food was offered, but basic variety of beers that you cannot go wrong with.
Vegetarian options: Idk.
Dietary restrictions: Idk
Parking: All up and down the avenue. The parking is spread out pretty well!
Kid-friendliness: Don't think you're going to get kids inside LOL.
Wheelchair accessibility: The entire space is one room so you will definitely be fine wheeling in.

I have never been to an establishment in the Orlando area where the staff itself has been so unprofessional and rude to paying customers in front of the owner than here. The owner is incredible and kind, but the bar tender tonight 1/7 was immature and rude that I am DONE coming here. Cash only and paying tips for such a degrading feeling as a customer is unacceptable to me. I will NOT be returning. She quite honestly ruined my night with her poorly done make up and childish attitude to treat someone so rudely as a customer. I am literally at a loss for words. I hope this place can adjucate this and understand that as a bar, the sales are made via the bartender and tonight was NOT the vibe. Sad that these people think that they can act like this to the bar patrons. Sorry I am not a regular, but I have been there multiple times and have never had such a negative time than I have had tonight. She literally took the mic for "karaoke" from my friend and made us both uncomfortable. Good luck sis with an attitude as nasty as yours. I will be sure to also let my social media following know the same. Looking forward to getting to speak to Lou, the owner, about that nasty attitude and poorly done cat eye make up. Literally the only word that comes to mind is a not nice word, that I can refrain from saying because I am a licensed professional, something she cannot say herself. I usually do not leave reviews based on my line of work because it is hard to believe the patron, but this was truly one of the worst experiences I have had in Orlando, solely because of the bar tender. She can "forget to laugh" about this, because I am the only one chuckling. Be blessed.

Uncle Lou is an amazing bar owner and person, however the bartender tonight was absolutely rude and unprofessional. I am a regular here and not only have I never seen her bartend, but she dropped the bar so low that I am likely to never return. She was the epitome of disgusting, not from a judging perspective but her attitude was awful. I refuse to let myself or my close friends be treated in such a way. If this is CORRECTED, I am willing to come back and refer friends here as the atmosphere is not judgemental and free.

Uncle Lous is more than just a unique dive that supports Orlando’s music scene. Lous is a safe haven for anyone and everyone. A place you are not just welcome to come and be yourself, but where you are loved for it. Lou is one of the most kind, generous, vibrant, and all around beautiful human beings you’ll ever meet. You are treated like family the second you walk through the door. A thrilling environment, killer music, adventurous, and always the best time. One of the most vital pieces of Orlando. Lous is my favorite place in the world.
There is nowhere else in the world like LMGA. The place that makes Orlando special.
