Kelly Kircher, from the corporate office in Chicago, said the problems were financial.
"We couldn't keep up with the dollar beers that other campus restaurants have," he said.
Bar Louie opened in Champaign on Feb. 1, 2006 and is known for its signature martinis, wine bar and selection of handcrafted beers. Weekly deals including $1 burgers on Tuesdays were also a staple of the campus location.
The company operates locations in seven states.

This is unfortunate; Bar Louie was one of the few campus bars that doesn't permanently reek of puke and urine. And they offered food, too. Maybe Burger King or someone will set up shop, I just hope its not another of those overpriced, overly trendy cookies-and-lattes type places that have invaded Campustown in the last few years.

BRING BACK PANERA!!
It was perfect for that spot before, and it only closed because of the owner, not because of revenue.
