TL;DR: Lulu’s Lounge returns to Chinatown as a modern supper club with an Old Shanghai theme. Expect elevated dim sum, a cocktail bar programme developed by Studio Ryecroft (ex-Proof & Company, the team behind Manhattan and ATLAS), and a weekly line-up of live jazz, cabaret and burlesque nights.
Lulu’s Lounge has reopened in Chinatown! A renowned name in the Singapore nightlife scene since 2017, the space has returned with a new concept: a Chinese-ingredient-led cocktail bar and a nightly rotation of jazz, cabaret and burlesque with no cover charge.
What Is Lulu’s Lounge Singapore?
Lulu’s Lounge is a modern supper club in Chinatown, Singapore, set inside the Terra Southbridge Hotel at 208 South Bridge Road.
It’s a revival of the original Lulu’s Lounge, which first opened in 2017 and became known for blending food, drinks, and live performance into a single late-night format.
The theme this time draws on 1930s Shanghai: jade tones, lacquered surfaces, plush seating, and a jukebox sitting next to the DJ booth as a nod to old and new.
Choose from bar seats, booths or open tables on the floor where you can enjoy live music right in front of you.
It’s illuminated by red neon lights and ambient table lamps, making the space alluring, mysterious and intimate – a unique addition to the bar scene in Singapore.
What To Eat At Lulu’s Lounge
The food menu is built around Shanghai-inspired dim sum and small plates, meant to accompany their cocktail program.
Must-try items at Lulu’s Lounge: Salted Egg Cod Fish, BBQ Beef Short Rib Skewers, Sichuan Spiced French Fries.
The Oscietra Caviar Siu Mai ($28) is an atas take on classic siu mai, topped with Oscietra caviar and yuzu crème fraîche.
Each one was stuffed with pork and prawn, complemented by a subtle brininess from the caviar.
Their beef dishes were a highlight, ranging from the crispy A4 Wagyu Black Pepper Spring Rolls ($32) to the must-order BBQ Beef Short Rib Skewers ($26).
Each skewer featured 36-hour braised and grilled beef short ribs glazed in hoisin and Shaoxing wine. The meat was melt-in-the-mouth tender with a sweet-savoury flavour from the marinades, complete with a kick from the chilli oil!
Another must-order is the Salted Egg Cod Fish ($32), with buttery slices of fried fish covered in a rich salted egg gravy.
There’s also Mala Grilled Fish Skewers ($18), marinated in Sichuan doubanjiang and fermented black bean. Fish isn’t usually the protein of choice for skewers but we were pleasantly surprised at how it carried the numbing, peppery mala sauce.
If you’re just looking for accompaniments to your drinks, get the addictive Sichuan Spiced French Fries ($12) or Namjin Tamarind Chicken Wings ($18) with a sour tamarind glaze.
The menu also offers heartier items like a Wagyu Picanha ($78/350g) and Wok-Fried Kuay Teow with Crispy Tofu (from $14), though we feel the menu is generally designed for drinks.
What To Drink At Lulu’s Lounge
The Lulu Lounge cocktail menu is developed with Studio Ryecroft, run by Bobby Carey and Tom Hogan, both formerly of Proof & Company – the consultancy behind bar programmes at Manhattan (Regent Singapore) and ATLAS.
The menu reworks classics with Chinese ingredients: a martini-style drink lifted with jasmine tea-infused vermouth, and sours built on osmanthus wine and baijiu that balance sweetness against savoury.
We tried the Lucky Tile ($23), which was garnished with a cute Mahjong tile candy. Despite being whisky-based, this drink was refreshing and easy, balanced by spiced notes of ginger and chrysanthemum tea.
Those who enjoy Espresso Martinis can consider the Broken Mirror ($25), with persimmon-infused Dewar’s 12 Scotch and cream top for a uniquely sweet, smoky finish.
Other ingredients on the list include Buddha’s hand, long pepper, salted lemon and dark soy syrup.
There’s also a full non-alcoholic menu for anyone skipping the drinks but still at the bar for the night.

Performance And Nightlife Programme
Performance is the other half of what Lulu’s Lounge is selling, and it’s structured around three recurring nights:
- Café Bizarre (Saturdays): The most theatrical night, with burlesque, drag, live performances and rotating guest DJs through to close.
- Oui Oui Chérie (midweek): Ladies’ night built around cocktails and cabaret.
- Encore (Sundays): A slower night of live jazz standards paired with dim sum.
Music isn’t handled by a single resident DJ, rotating through disco, analogue classics, golden-era hip-hop and soul.
There’s no cover charge for any of this, which is worth noting given how much of the programming is built around live acts!
Is Lulu’s Lounge Worth Visiting?
As a Chinatown bar and supper club with a performance calendar and an interesting cocktail programme, Lulu Lounge is the perfect choice for a night of drinks, bites and untethered conversation. It’s unique and immersive ambience sets it apart from the usual bars in Singapore, making it a worthy stop on any bar-hopping adventures.
