Bar Louie vs. Proof
| Bar Louie | Proof | |
|---|---|---|
| Decor | Casual but well appointed bar with small outdoor seating area | Smart wine centric American restaurant with wine bottle display dividers – semi-circular couch at entrance for happy hour lingering |
| Cuisine | American bar food | American cuisine |
| Bar Food | Buffalo wings | Charcuterie board or cow/sheep/goat cheese |
| Appetizer | Spinach & artichoke dip | Corn soup or assorted flatbreads |
| Dinner | Burger, fries and cole slaw or fish tacos with a side of tater tots | Hangar steak and mashed potato side |
| Service | Speedy bar service | Top notch restaurant attention |
| Dessert | They do have it but I’m against buying dessert in a bar | Delicious chocolate cake |
| Beer | Good selection of bottled beer and beer on tap | Reasonable selection of bottled beer |
| Wine | They do have wine by the glass | Good selection of wine on tap and a wine list to die for (hey…it’s a wine centric restaurant!) |
| Music | Moderately loud rock and pop | Subdued jazz and lounge |
| Conversation | Talk loudly | Pleasant dinner conversation |
| Cost | Few dollar signs | Many dollar signs |
