Lulu Bar & Restaurant

In the heart of Wellington City Centre, Lulu Bar & Restaurant is nestled on Courtenay Place, the vibrant heart of Wellington nightlife. A trendy spot popular with both locals and tourists alike, Lulu sets the scene for a good time with its relaxed, modern interior and easygoing atmosphere.

Lulu's South Pacific inspired menu showcases an exquisite array of shared plates and substantial mains, perfect for group dining or a casual night out. The crowd favourite ika mata brings a fresh and vibrant take on the Rarotongan classic. Made with lemon-cured diced fish and coconut cream, it is served with prawn crackers for the perfect bite.

Carnivores will be magnetically drawn to the braised spiced lamb shoulder, served with zany zeus mint yoghurt, nam jim and finished off with kumara crisps. This combination of tender and crisp is said to get on just like old mates at a backyard feast.

Speaking of which, what good is a bar if it's not stocked to the brim with delicious liquid sunshine? With knowledgeable guardians behind the bar, you can trust Lulu's cocktail crafting far beyond what you'd expect from a local hot spot, with incredible tiki cocktails on offer to provide the perfect complimentary flavours to your mains. Alternatively, a fine selection of wines makes for a perfect opportunity to dine with real Kiwi class.

The atmosphere is low-lit and cosy, perfect for either a small gathering or a large party, with the option of a private mezzanine area for functions to enjoy some well-earned privacy. Lulu is a spot where you're free to let your hair down (literally) and completely unwind.

A hot spot for its social atmosphere and outstanding food and drink, Lulu Bar & Restaurant encapsulates all that is Wellington, including our capital city's irreverent attitude to the wind, with a stylish sheltered outdoor courtyard; glassed with woven panes to shield you from the elements without sacrificing views of the gorgeous Wellington backdrop. We can't think of a better way to spend your weekends.
