House-smoked ribs , expertly cooked prime rib & over 20 well-chosen ales & lagers . Every detail has been prepared with fastidious attention -- so that you don't need to pay any attention at all.

Commuter Daddy

We stopped for lunch after a walk through the zoo . Lamb burger seasoning was a burst of fantastic flavor. Kids loved the deep-fried Oreos too

John Baker

The turkey sliders are the best thing there. Love the atmosphere here. Great for watching a game and an awesome beer selection .

Don't know why everyone is hating on here. They have great specials all of the time. It is a typical bar but that's what I look for. They're super kid friendly . Nice staff . SOME waiters suck though.

Katie Lancos

Wednesday night = half off drafts . With free wifi (pwd: citybar1 ) perfect for late night work sessions.

Alexandra Dunbar-Fernandez

Better than your average bar food . The chef takes great pride in making food accessible, delicious, and good for you vs the average heart attack grub.

Andrea Newland

Really like the atmosphere for football games, mix of teams, friendly people, wings were a bit burnt, ok burgers , bathrooms a bit messy but will come back for drinks!!!

Moritz

The backyard BBQ wings are really good. You can watch any sport broadcast, the staff will tune in for you.

Karen Elizabeth

Damn good sports bar if your a real football (soccer ) fan. Cheap drinks on Wednesday and most game times, with good selection

Major League Soccer

23 HDTV's, a 140" HD projector screen, 24 taps, an outdoor patio with TV 's, and D.C. United soccer . What more can a fan want. Lou's City Bar is an official MLS pub !

Kirk Myers

Great tvs to view any game you want. Tell them what team you are there to see and they will try to accommodate. They should offer a better beer special though.

Amy Cummings

Great place to watch sports ! They’ll usually flip one of the TVs to your game if you ask.

Chris Higginbotham

Try the tots ! Great food for a sports bar .

Anna John

Shocker: in addition to the predictable wings and meats, there is one vegetarian (possibly vegan !) appetizer and portobello sandwich on menu, plus a few sides.

Tara Trinity

If you want sports , burgers , or specials come here. If you want a dive or indie bar go to zeba or raven down the street. I like Lou's a lot.

Kelsey C

Fries sprinkled with Old Bay ... delicious! But my burger (ordered medium) was completely charred... hopefully this place will work out its kinks in the next few weeks of opening.

chris phillips

16 oz coors lt for $19 is a hell of a deal ($2.50 per 12oz beer .) You've gotta do it.

Jayme Rayne

This place has some awesome food. Loved the potato skins ! Great sports bar .

Sandy Rafael Nunez

HH buy one get one Monday to Friday 2:30 pm to 7 pm

Reese S

Buffalo wings r incredible....a must have

jmerzie

Turkey burger is the way to go here. Has a kick.

Gautam Chowdhry

Chef Mike Rocks! Try the Wings and the Lamb Burger .

Erin Atwater

New menu!!!! Amazing stuff now! Almost all new tasty dishes.

Rondelle Price

Best Happy Hour in the City !

James Steven Beslity

Get the french toast for bunch, it's delicious! Comes with a free mimosa too!

Jaime Wojdowski

Love this friendly neighborhood place !

Stefanie Kim

Okay, get the potato skins and the grilled cheese . But don't expect much from the fries . In a word: flaccid.

Steve Minard

The place is called Lou's City Bar. Get yo self some real ass eggs , lady!

Jaya Punetha

Quinoa salad with blackened chicken FTW

John Groth

They've added more TV 's and a giant HD projection screen...can't wait for that when football season starts up!

Madhu Vulimiri

The fried Oreos are divine!

Ashley Carter

GREAT French Dip sandwich but steer clear of the subpar wings . The sauce is more water than flavor.

Brad S

Plenty of screens but limited good angles to watch the same screen with more than a few friends. And ditto on the limited vegetarian options .

Kim Cruts

Free shots for the bar when the Caps score a goal. New favourite sports establishment!

Brian T.

The beef dip is solid, though the bun trends to disintegrate on you...

Sara Steffan

The food is pretty OK -- I liked the fiesta tots though the burger was nothing special -- but definitely come for the TVs .

Jason Meer

Craig is the bartender to talk to if you're a college basketball fan.

Denise Dutton

Half off drafts on Wednesdays!

Cody Shankman

This place has NESN. There's really no need to ever go anywhere else, ever again.

Sara Steffan

Also, took 10+ mins to get a waitress to look at us but the tots came out in under five mins.

Allison Kasic

The fiesta tots and nachos are gross.

Akeem Bynum

Great food, Great Beer , & Plenty of big screens !

Jon Gosier

I want to like this place so much but the only thing it has going for it is the wings .

Mark Szymanski

Come on Wednesday - all drafts half off all day.

Rodrigo Blanco

Conveniently located, but the kitchen needs to iron out its kinks in terms of the wait time. Blackened bleu burger is pretty decent.

Simon H

For wifi access use "citybar1 "

Ashleigh D.

Lou's is run worse than your neighborhood Applebee's. The staff is not to blame here; the problems are so extreme they can only be caused management. I don't plan to return here
