BarFly's Review of A Lou Wine Bar And Lounge (CLOSED)

The below review "fuck you" joke directed at Alu's prior owner. See the proper Alu listings Invite only wine bar and lounge in Northeast Portland. No silverware, or plates for that matter, the tasty Austrian fare is literally flung at your face by the frenzied chef Frank, no doubt breaking any number of health codes. Difficult if not impossible to find, once you do, you are treated to a treat far tastier than any neighboring Swiss, or worse, fucking Krauts. Though a funny joke, the juke is limited to Franz Ferdinand's entire discography, which does become tiresome. Pretentiousness name aside, A Lou (Aloo) is owned and operated by BarFly's own Kyle Ritter. As such, smoking is certainly allowed both indoors and on it's fabulous patio. Hours: By invite only, which is the real trick. Steeply discounted drinks most of the time.

It's A Lou and it's not for sale.

I should know, I own A Lou. I named it that because I'm tired of places using indefinite articles in their name "Recline...A Chair Boutique". As an act of deviance, I decided to place the indefinite article right at the beginning of the name of my lounge. Then I realized I actually needed a word to follow it, so I used the name of my good old Uncle Lou. I'll never sell it. Never.

Bummer. A few days ago, their site (now down) offered the space as a turn-key operation, so if you can pony up $475K, go for it.

And it was Alu, not Alou. Not that it makes any difference.

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.
