Bar Louie – Oakbrook Terrace, IL

Our family was staying at a Holiday Inn while we were visiting my sister in the Chicago area. On our last night in town, my wife and I decided to head down to the hotel bar, which was actually a Bar Louie inside the hotel. I figured I had tried a Margarita everywhere else we had gone this weekend so I might as well finish it off with one more!

Right off the Margarita tasted like it was made with a mix. It didn’t have enough fresh lime flavor for me. However the flavor was pretty good overall. Good enough that I would give this Margarita a 7. Given how stocked the bar was at Bar Louie, I have a feeling that if I had ordered a Margarita with specific ingredients, the bartender would have been able to oblige my order. Next time I’m at a Bar Louie, I’ll try talking to the bartender to see what they can do. So the moral of the story, as with many places if you want to ensure a good Margarita, you may need to be specific with the ingredients.
