A Coastal-Inspired Oasis in the Heart of Downtown Toronto

Nestled within the dynamic development of The Well in downtown Toronto, Lulu Bar offers a distinct dining experience that enriches the city's diverse culinary scene. Inspired by the craftsmanship and cultural influences of the Pacific Northwest and Polynesia, the space blends coastal charm with contemporary design.

Lulu’s aesthetic is warm and inviting, crafted with natural materials and organic forms that evoke a breezy, approachable ambiance. The design pays homage to coastal influences through thoughtful details: a custom-cut breezeblock wall anchors the main-level bar, providing a textured, architectural statement reminiscent of seaside structures. Rich mahogany shutters lend a tropical warmth, while woven textiles and intricate wood carvings channel classic Polynesian artistry. A neutral color palette, punctuated with seafoam green and deep blue, reinforces the coastal theme. Upstairs, the striking feature bar—composed of handmade terracotta tiles, sculptural wood joinery, and exotic stone—serves as a focal point, framed by oversized woven seagrass chandeliers that cast a soft glow over the banquette seating.

Lulu Bar spans two levels, offering an intimate yet energetic experience. The street-level cocktail bar sets the tone with its vibrant presence, seamlessly connecting to the lively, open-kitchen atmosphere of the upper floor. The result is a cohesive and dynamic space that captures the spirit of both its urban surroundings and faraway coastal inspirations.
