Hello from Sweet Lou's Coeur d'Alene

Downtown CDA • Views of McEuen Park

Come Hungry, Stay Late, Eat Well

Downtown Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Great Food, Local Brews and a Full Bar

Beautiful views, great food and cold drinks

At Sweet Lou’s Restaurant, Bar, and Tap House we live to serve! Great food. Cocktails and craft beer. We’ll serve you all your favorite things with a smile and a side of major sporting events on our BIG 4K TVs.

We know beer and we know where to find the best brews – right in our backyard! You’ll notice 12 of our 24 taps are reserved for local favorites, made right here in the Inland Northwest, including our very own Lou’s Brew IPA poured exclusively at Sweet Lou’s restaurants. As we continue our search to find awesome ales in nearby zip codes, we will update our offering – after all, kegs are meant to be tapped and handles are meant to rotate.

Hungry? We hope so! Most of what we offer we made with our own hands. We smoke our own salmon, pork, and ribs—including bison ribs—right here in the kitchen. Those ribs are covered in homemade barbecue sauces and served along with original – recipe side dishes such as smoked baked beans and horseradish mashed potatoes. Take your time. Try everything.
