A new nightlife option is coming to the Willowbrook area this fall with Bar Louie, an urban eatery and bar, slated to open on the northwest side of Willowbrook Mall.

The restaurant and bar will be open for lunch, dinner and late night dining with menu items such as flatbreads, sandwiches, burgers and salads available. Additionally, Bar Louie features signature martinis and cocktails, beer and wine.

"The premise of Bar Louie is that it is a local spot where friends can gather in a casual atmosphere and enjoy good food—small plates, burgers and sandwiches," said Diana Elkins, marketing manager for Willowbrook Mall. "We think it's going to be popular for lunches and after-hours gatherings. This is a hard-working community, and Bar Louie is going to offer a spot to relax and enjoy."

Bar Louie will be on the northwest side of Willowbrook Mall, near the upcoming Nordstrom Rack, but will not be connected to the shopping center. There are several Bar Louie locations in Texas, including another Houston-area spot in The Woodlands.
