Hands down my fav sports bar in BK. Always a vibe and bartenders are great. Cash only so come prepared

We headed to Lou’s after dinner at Rolo’s—it’s about a 20-minute walk, which wasn’t bad at all. A friend recommended it since she comes here often and knows the bartender.

Lou’s is very much a neighborhood bar, and it gets packed. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff handles the crowds like pros, fast, attentive, and efficient no matter how busy it gets. You can tell this isn’t their first rodeo.

Drinks are cheap (always a plus), but pro tip: it’s cash only. Luckily, they’ve got an ATM inside with just a small service fee.

Extra shoutout to their regular, Delaney, who jumped in to challenge the twins to a game of billiards super fun to watch! Just note there’s only one pool table, so expect a wait. In the meantime, there’s a dart board to keep things moving, and the blasting music keeps the energy high!

Overall, a lively, no-frills bar with great vibes, perfect if you’re looking for an old-school neighborhood hangout.

This place is TOPS. Claire and Richard make Lou’s the welcoming, chill and stylish place it that is. As a person that doesn’t drink, I felt super comfortable here ( not always the case in bars) and was offered more fun options than my usual seltzer with lime. I didn’t know how much I needed a phony Negroni and a hot pretzel with mustard- I can highly recommend both. Can’t wait to bring friends back with me!

CASH ONLY. I had this place saved to try for awhile because their drinks are very affordable and I wanted to go on a bushwick bar crawl. While the drinks were affordable, a little bit too far from everywhere else. Def more of a well groomed local spot. The drinks were good , but seems more of a group hang than a spot to pregame. Not sure if I’d go again, but it is worth giving it a try. Especially if you live in the area!

There’s also a gigantic projector tv in the back which was very surprising & a lot of TVs in the front. It’s giving sports bar that’s not dive.

Lou's is a great spot and the staff is so helpful and accommodating! I was struggling to find a sports bar to watch a Gotham FC game, but the staff at Lou's let me easily make a reservation to hold a table for me and my friends and they put us at a table with a clear view of our own TV where we could watch game. On the top of that, the drinks are so good (and reasonably priced) and we were able to bring in outside food for our group too. Definitely would recommend checking out Lou's, and we'll be back for sure!

Polite staff, and one of very few bars to watch sports in bushwick. Snacks are good, drinks are well poured, prices could be better.

Lou’s is the Dive bar vibe you want only it’s got a sleek design, quality drinks, sports, and lots of seating. Be sure to check out the analog Photobooth in the back and shoot some pool!
