The Gold Coast’s party scene just got a lot more exciting with the opening of Lulu Rooftop & Bar, the hottest new destination in Surfers Paradise. Nestled at Level 2/4 Orchid Avenue, this rooftop venue offers a lively atmosphere, stunning views, and a dynamic entertainment line-up. Having officially opened its doors on Monday, 9th September, Lulu is already making waves among locals and visitors alike.
At a cool $1.59 million investment, Lulu Rooftop & Bar is an ode to Miami’s iconic Art Deco style, infused with the tropical allure of the Gold Coast. The venue offers a chic combination of indoor and outdoor spaces, with a sleek bar, booth seating, and a spacious dancefloor indoors, perfect for partygoers. The open-air rooftop accommodates up to 210 guests, ideal for laid-back brunches, sunset cocktails, and lively evening parties.
What sets Lulu apart is its eye-catching décor. Local artist Jamie Peters designed a custom “Miami Vice meets Surfers Paradise” wallpaper, which gives the venue a unique edge. Combined with the marble-top bar, wall-to-wall aged mirrors, and plush green surroundings, Lulu exudes elegance while remaining approachable.
The Frosé Wall: A Summer Must-Try
One of the most buzz-worthy features of Lulu is its Frosé Wall, guaranteed to be a hit during the Gold Coast’s summer months. With six different boozy frosé flavours on offer, including Passionfruit Long Island Iced Tea and Frozen Squashie, guests can indulge in frozen cocktails while customising them with treats from a DIY candy station. It’s the ultimate Instagrammable moment that will likely draw in a crowd looking to cool down in style.
Entertainment Line-Up to Keep the Party Going
For those looking for a spot that offers more than just drinks and dining, Lulu Rooftop & Bar delivers an exhilarating entertainment experience. With live entertainment running from Thursday to Sunday, the venue promises a rotating mix of live DJs and musicians, ensuring the vibe never falls flat.
Venue manager Steve Csutoros says Lulu is primed to bring something special to Surfers Paradise: “We’ve curated and perfected everything Lulu has to offer, from the entertainment line-up to the menu. It’s all ready and waiting to kick off, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome locals and visitors through our doors.”
The entertainment kicks off today, Thursday 12th September, with a DJ set from Holeman at 7pm. The weekend is jam-packed, with performances from acts such as MaDan, Luis Percu, and Minx on Friday, and Axel Taylor, Maskoff, and Yolanda Be Cool headlining on Saturday. The fun continues with a bottomless brunch on Sunday, accompanied by a live set from Matty Sax, who’ll be mixing tunes with live saxophone, alongside Charles Oliver.
Executive Chef Justin Wise has curated a menu that reflects global beachside cuisine, using fresh and seasonal ingredients. The highlight dishes, like the Lulu Classic Club Sandwich, featuring free-range chicken, bacon, kewpie mayo, and gouda cheese, provide the perfect bites for guests enjoying the venue’s laid-back, holiday vibe. Other standout options include Grilled Corn Ribs served with paprika butter and chipotle aioli, and a selection of skewers, including Wagyu beef with burnt onion jam and Swordfish with a cherry tomato and corn salsa.
Lulu’s menu isn’t just about the food, though – it’s also got a cocktail list that rivals the best in the area. Guests can sip on classic Pornstar Martinis or opt for Lulu’s signature drinks like the Lulu Spritz, Peach Velvet, or Passionfruit Therapy. The cocktails are designed to set the tone for any occasion, from a casual lunch to a late-night dance session under the stars.
Lulu Rooftop & Bar is the kind of venue that seems to have thought of everything. Whether you’re after a quiet rooftop brunch, a vibrant cocktail hour, or an all-out party with live music and dancing, Lulu delivers. With its blend of upscale décor, relaxed vibe, and exceptional food and drink options, this new Surfers Paradise hotspot is set to become a go-to for locals and tourists alike.
