Former Mitchell’s Fish Market Space Goes to Bar Louie

Written By Scott Joseph On September 17, 2018

The former Mitchell’s Fish Market space in Winter Park Village is finally getting a new tenant, the first non-seafooder in a very long time.

Bar Louie, the Texas based franchise chain, will add another to its approximately 135 locations across the country. There are currently three in Orlando.

Mitchell’s Fish Market closed in November after nearly seven and a half years in the large corner space across from the entertainment and shopping complex’s movie theaters. Before Mitchell’s, it was a place called Beluga’s, which was a precursor to present day’s Big Fin Seafood Kitchen on Sand Lake Road; Blackfin; and Kovar’s, which opened with the development in 2000.

Bar Louie refers to itself as “an urban bar made famous for our signature martinis, cocktails and dynamic beer selection.” It serves food, too, but has become less known for being a place to eat than as a watering hole. An urban watering hole, if you insist.

The Winter Park Village BL is not expected to start shaking its martinis until sometime in the first quarter of 2019.
