Bar Louie - South Padre Island
If you're cruising down Padre Blvd and craving bold flavors with a side of good vibes, Bar Louie - South Padre Island might just be your next go-to. Tucked right at 6700 Padre Blvd, this spot blends casual comfort with a lively atmosphere—perfect for unwinding after a beach day or kicking off a night out with friends.
What makes this place stand out? Well, for starters, the outdoor seating is ideal for soaking in that island breeze, and the live music keeps the mood upbeat. Whether you're rolling in with a group or just stopping by for happy hour specials, there’s a seat—and a drink—waiting for you.
When it comes to the food, Bar Louie doesn’t play it safe. One bite into their Buffalo Chicken and you’ll know exactly what I mean. If you're more into seafood, the Shrimp Tempura and Fried Calamari are crispy, flavorful, and pair ridiculously well with one of their signature cocktails. And for something a little more indulgent? The Voodoo Pasta hits that creamy, spicy sweet spot. Don't sleep on the Chicken Quesadilla either—it’s cheesy, loaded, and built for sharing (or not, we won’t judge).

In all my years of coming here I have never had a bad meal! The burgers are cooked incredibly and the fried calamari, chicken quesadilla, and nachos are awesome! My brother really liked the hot honey flatbread. The servers are nice. My older family members felt the music was a bit loud for them, but it's a bar and they played some classic hits so unless you are sensitive to bar music levels, you will have a good time. The singers and guitarist are talented!
Amazing food, atmosphere and staff ( Alfredo, Mary and Kim) were all spectacular! They made our time memorable with all the hospitality and great experience
Out of the pool ready to order our Tuesday Craft Burgers . Josh is working the outside bar and is very friendly and courteous. I ask him what time he'll close and he said probably around 5. I told him stay open and I'll get you more business . Three different families come and order from Josh as he gives me the wink . Bar Louie outside bar continues to be the place to go.
This place was heaven sent during our trip to Padre! They offered multiple breakfast options, a mimosa carafe, and deals throughout the week. Their pancake stack was a deal in terms of price and serving size bc it could easily be split amongst kids or adults. The potatoes that accompanied the breakfast dishes were crispy and had plenty of seasoning. We ate salads here that were large and hearty. Their burger deals were such a great deal, we ordered multiple. The chicken tenders were always crispy and their ranch was perfect! The evening drinks were spot on and the service was always great. In the evening, there was always live music that was fun.
