Lulie Tavern

American$

About to clock a decade, Lulie has staying power. Rarely is a dive bar this delightful: the rock’n’roll energy is strong, the burgers are better on local’s night, and the pool is still free. The charm was dialled up with the opening of Full Moon Fever, an extension of Lulie’s Americana attitude to an airy rooftop bar, where the margs are free-flowing and the cacti create a desertscape.
