Bar Louie is a casual dining restaurant and bar chain known for its laid-back atmosphere and diverse menu. A bankruptcy filing in early 2020 put the brakes on growth at the gastropub concept, but the brand is now positioned to pursue new development. More recently, it’s leaned into its martini-fueled heritage while also emphasizing a refreshed culinary program as it again pushes franchise expansion. Secured lender Antares Capital LP purchased the company in 2020.
