Bartenders at Louise’s West claim to mix the best Bloody Marys in Lawrence. You'll have to judge for yourself, which you're encouraged to do on Sundays, when the Mary comes cheap and this neighborhood bar is at its best. In the 1980s, Louise’s West and Louise’s Downtown were under the same ownership. While they have different owners now, both bars still pour their (in)famous 32-ounce schooners. You'll know Louise's West by its tables and bar, which are engraved with the names of students and townies who hang out on the heated outdoor patio, play darts, pool (it's free on Fridays), arcade games and foosball.
