With our current interview with Mikey Nicolian, what higher time to showcase a few of the drinks from his different bar operation, Bar Louise? Opening again in 2022, the crew from Porteno, Ben Milgate, Elvis Abrahanowicz, and Joe Valore teamed up with Nicolian of Continental Deli fame to create Bar Lousie, a kitschy and funky Euro wine bar.

The cocktail checklist is small and concise. Nicolian says there are cocktails but it surely’s not an enormous focus, so all the things is high quality however not taking itself too critically. Suppose sangria, Rebujito (sherry and lemonade) and Menta Julip, which is, you guessed it, the Bar Louise tackle a Mint Julep that includes rye whiskey.

Nicolian gave us the low-down on this bar, saying: “It’s a extremely fucking cool wine bar with a eating room upstairs. The meals providing is improbable. Conventional Spanish stuff with stable choices by way of bar snacks, then extra substantial tapas with seafood, meat and vegetarian sections on the menu.” From first-hand expertise, you’ll be able to’t go previous the BBQ Octopus and the stuffed piquillo peppers.
