It was a quiet opening for this Nola-inspired bar back in April, because they don't need to shout about it - everyone else has done that for them. And now they've opened patio restaurant Loosie's Kitchen to boot.

Walking into Loosie Rouge feels like you've stepped into someone's home bar, where your friends are pouring drinks with a smile, or even a social club full of beautiful people. It's buzzing, cozy, and friendly. The four owners - Damien del Rio, Vincent Marino, Max Peskowitx and Garry Knopov of Four Happy Men Hospitality - are normally milling around, chatting to guests, and the rest of the service is completely on point. There's even a piano for when people want a sing-a-long. 

The cocktails - many on draft making for fast service - are classic Nola creations, as well as some of their own - advised by Nico de Soto of ECC - such as the refreshing Loosie's Cup, with Pimms, Aquavit, lemon, grapefruit, rhubarb, cucumber, celery bitters and a ginger ale top - a perfect summer drink.

Around the corner, is the newly opened Loosie's Kitchen, where the food takes its inspiration from around the globe, with a New Orleans edge. Chef Sean Scotese, winner of the Food Network competition show “Chopped", has created a delicious menu of blackened catfish lettuce wraps and shrimp po' boys. An indoors-outdoors space, it's all about the patio. Think hot Cali vibes and tropical holidays right in the heart of Williamsburg.
