Wine bar
LOU
LOU is a tiny wine bar on a quiet side street, pouring natural wines, pét-nats, and orange bottles with street tables, good music, and an easy late-evening flow.
The story
LOU keeps a small footprint on Chavriou, then spills outward with street tables on a quiet side street. Natural wines, pét-nats, orange bottles, and occasional off-menu pours anchor the list, while cheese, olives, and other snacks round things out. Music threads through the room and onto the pavement, adding to the relaxed late-evening feel. The place fills up as the night goes on, yet the mood stays casual rather than ceremonious. Staff talk through styles and tasting notes, helping people land on glasses that suit them, and the setup encourages anything from a quick post-dinner drink to a shared bottle that stretches the evening.
