Bar Louise

From the team behind Pasta Louise, this Park Slope cocktail bar swaps the neighborhood's usual family-friendly rooms for a back dining room designed by Caroline Ward, its walls papered in flowers under a cluster of flower-shaped lamps. The kitchen sends out miso octopus with squash purée, deviled eggs topped with salmon roe, and a branzino sized for sharing, while the bar pours cocktails alongside a full wine list and a few mocktails. Reservations run through Resy, with walk-ins seated at the front bar and happy hour starting at 3:30pm. Designed for grown-ups without kids in tow, it fills a gap neighbors felt after a nearby restaurant, Parish, closed.
