It’s kitschy, it’s chill, it’s where you’ll come to live it up a little (more) and party till dawn. Lulu’s Lounge is modelled on a mobster's 'posh' gal, and promises a changing entertainment lineup coursing with nostalgia

Where do nice girls go to let their hair down? Probably not <a href="http://www.lulus.sg/" target="_blank">Lulu&rsquo;s Lounge</a>, which promises to keep some very bad company. This kitschy <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/living/singapore-nightlife-lulus-lounge-new-bar-and-club-at-pan-pacific-hotel" target="_blank">new live lounge at Pan Pacific Hotel</a> is modelled on the outlandish fancies of its fictional owner Lulu, a hard-drinking good-time girl born and raised in the Bronx.

Dreamed up by nightlife veterans Joshua and Sarissa Schwartz, who also co-founded <a href="http://bangbangclub.sg/" target="_blank">Bang Bang</a>, the nightclub next door, Lulu&rsquo;s is &ldquo;frivolous, sexy and quirky&rdquo; &ndash; a dive bar meets jazz lounge and burlesque club hybrid that a mobster (that would be Louie) might have built for his moll. From what they describe of her, we&rsquo;re already thinking Love Majewski from early seasons of Mob Wives &ndash; but we&rsquo;ll let the couple tell you more below (and about their business <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/living/singapore-nightlife-lulus-lounge-new-bar-and-club-at-pan-pacific-hotel" target="_blank">here</a>).

Doors open at 9pm and guests can stay till dawn. Live music, bottle service, bar bites, dancing, and a different line-up every night of the week. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll keep bringing in live acts that will strike a nerve of nostalgia,&rdquo; Sarissa says. &ldquo;Think 1990s to 2000s, in line with being true to what our clientele grew up with or have memories of.&rdquo;&nbsp;

How did you dream up this character, Lulu? 

Joshua: I always found something incredibly sexy and dangerous about the New York mob in the early &rsquo;60s. We originally had an internal monologue about a character named &ldquo;Little Louie&rdquo; and the type of lounge that character would have built. We wrote a storyline that we passed on to the design team and we used as the premise for a lot of the thought concepts that went into it.

Sarissa: We then felt it may be a bit too masculine and wanted the concept to be more frivolous, sexy, and quirky. So, we envisioned Little Louie&rsquo;s &ldquo;leading lady&rdquo;, the type of woman Louie would be drawn to. That&rsquo;s when Lulu was born.

We know we shouldn&rsquo;t ask a lady&rsquo;s age, but anyway &ndash; how old is Lulu? 

S: Louie first met her Lulu when she was a young woman. Although she now might have her best years behind her, no matter her age, in her mind Lulu is always vivacious and young.

&nbsp;

What would Lulu wear on a date night at Lulu&rsquo;s? 

S: Her &ldquo;nicest&rdquo; leopard low-cut, long sleeved shirt, tight shiny leggings, and furry stilettos or cheap patent leather red pumps. Saturday is always her date night with Louie.

And on a party night at Lulu&rsquo;s? 

S: An ill-fitting tight red dress with black seven-inch pumps she can&rsquo;t really dance well in.

J: Something gawww-geous.

&nbsp;

Her lipstick colour?

S: Day and night, it&rsquo;s always red.

&nbsp;

What&rsquo;s in her purse? 

S: Wad of cash, lipstick, a lighter, perfume.

What&rsquo;s the kitschiest thing about Lulu&rsquo;s that you love? 

S: When we were dreaming up the design, we thought of a place that Louie would build for Lulu, but of course it had to have Lulu&rsquo;s stamp. After all, it&rsquo;s built for her. Because of this, we incorporated some &ndash; for lack of a better word &ndash; &ldquo;tacky&rdquo; elements. You&rsquo;ll see furry lamps, accessories Lulu loves to wear, and various items from her home. Lulu loves her ceramic poodle &ndash; you&rsquo;ll have to come by to check!

J: One of the nice things about the experience at Lulu&rsquo;s is at different times of the evening, alternate items will be lit, which will give guests an opportunity to explore various elements depending on what time you are there.

Must-try cocktails? 

S: Big Coconuts: It&rsquo;s very similar to a Pina Colada, but with vodka and some sass.

J: Grow a Pear: Bourbon, spiced pear, rosemary. It&rsquo;s certainly a drink we created with Louie in mind. Lulu&rsquo;s is a post-dinner spot, with nibbles inspired Lulu&rsquo;s colourful NY personality to keep people going. We have 13 flavours of popcorn from Mac and Cheese to Hot Buffalo Wings!

&nbsp;

Where should one park oneself at different times of the night? 

S: The sofa with opposing zebra chairs and the furry lamp is my personal favourite spot.

J: At 9pm, sit at the bar and listen to live jazz. As the night progresses, move to a banquette, and invite your friends to join. Eventually, get up and dance to funk, hip hop and a smattering of songs you grew up with until 6am.

&nbsp;

And after 6am? 

J: I hope they go to bed and come back tomorrow!

S: I second that!
