History

For centuries, the spot destined to become world-famous as Louie's Island was only one remote island in a string of small land masses dotting the sea, several hundred miles offshore from Cape Suzette. Overgrown and uninhabited, these rocky islands were regularly navigated by seafarers who followed winding trade routes through the region to reach Usland's coast. Tropical storms made such routes extremely perilous, shipwrecking many ocean vessels on the islands' sandy shores. Tales also abound of sea pirates who prowled those waters, ambushing unwary ships from island hideouts such as Dead-End Cave, ten miles south of Louie's.

It was hundreds of years later when Louie first came to the island. Then a small-time entertainer and bartender in Cape Suzette, Louie dreamed of building his own nightclub, a place offering only the finest blend of food, music, and entertainment. Conveniently, the spot he'd chosen lay near air and sea shipping lanes, guaranteeing a steady stream of customers. Acquiring a "squatter's" claim on the land — a deed which renews itself each year so long as the holder occupies the property — Louie immediately claimed salvage rights on an old shipwreck and fashioned the derelict boat into a nightclub.

From its first day of business, Louie's Place became something of a landmark to flyers in the South Seas region. Everyone said Louie would fail, but thanks to the support of hundreds of thirsty cargo pilots, Louie's Place survived a rough start and turned into an astounding success. Having just celebrated its fifth anniversary, the popular haven (and its equally popular owner) attracts patrons from around the globe to enjoy good food and good times.
