Singapore's nightlife scene welcomes the return of Lulu's Lounge, now situated in a heritage shophouse on South Bridge Road in Chinatown. The venue, known for its blend of live entertainment, craft cocktails, and late-night dining, evokes a 1930s Shanghai glamour.

Designed by Threaded Creatives and Bernard Johnson, the interior features rich jade hues, lacquered surfaces, and velvet booths, creating a distinct identity while retaining the theatrical spirit of its previous location at Pan Pacific Singapore. The space aims to be a defining fixture in Chinatown's entertainment landscape.

The cocktail program, developed with Studio Ryecroft founders Bobby Carey and Tom Hogan, offers a classicist approach with a twist, incorporating Chinese ingredients like Buddha's hand, long pepper, and salted lemon. Signature drinks include the Jasmine Tea Martini and the Osmanthus and Baijiu Sour, with a parallel non-alcoholic menu also available.

Complementing the drinks is a menu of Shanghai-inspired dim sum and small plates, designed for sharing. Highlights include Oscietra Caviar Siu Mai, Hong Kong Prawn Toast, and Crispy-Skin Chicken. Live performance, including jazz trios, remains central to the experience, with no cover charge for regular events.
