LUCKY LOUIE'S BEER & WIENERS

Lucky Louie's Beer & Wieners is a wiener bar where cooks build creative wieners in an open kitchen while guests watch. The wieners are Smith's brand, made locally, and each one is dressed with fresh toppings. The bar pours a rotating list of six local and regional draft beers, with styles that range from West Coast IPAs to smoothie sours, and it also serves Knotty Pretzels.

Lucky Louie's is on Route 97 in Erie, across from Presque Isle Downs Casino and next to the Beverage Shop Beer Distributor, so look for the big yellow BEER sign. Guests must be 21 or older to be served alcohol, and staff check ID and may refuse service to anyone visibly intoxicated. There is a private patio area for nice days, and online ordering is available.
