Editorial Review for Louis 649 – by Katie Heffernan

In Short
This small bar's minimal, under-construction look springs from mismatched tables, blond wood benches and an untreated concrete floor. Some red bulbs and scattered art spruce it up, but it's the free jazz every night--as well as the bar's yipping pet pooch--that seals the deal for the laid-back local mix. As far as hooch goes, beers from Belgium, New York and Great Britain--don't bother asking for Heineken or Miller Lite--accompany an extensive list of cocktails, single malt scotches, bourbons and international wines.

User Reviews for Louis 649

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

07/29/2007 Posted by bobnyc34

I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS JUST A BARTENDER OR A BARTENDER/OWNER AS WELL. BUT WHO EVER HE WAS, HE WAS ETREMELLY DIRESPECTFUL IN THE WAY HE TALKED TO MY FRIENDS AND I AS WE WERE TRYING TO ORDER A DRINK. THE OTHER YOUNGER MALE BARTENDER WAS VERY NICE THOUGH. I WOULD NOT GO BACK TO THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN, NOR WOULD I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE JUST BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE ALONE FROM THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL.

Cons: UNFRIENDLY BARTENDER/OWNER

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great place to have port [maybe even a cigar - I'll have to ask] with friends or lover to warm soft jazz...cozy...very very small space but sooooo warm!! I loved the bartender [? owner] and his dog [who was also uber friendly]....I love these hidden little gems in the city...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Pros: everything

Cons: small :(

A pure-bred neighborhood wine bar, with free jazz nightly and a resident pit-bull.  See the full editorial review.
