With a space so gorgeous you'd swear it was torn from a page in an interior design magazine, it's almost daunting to step inside. Bright and sunny, wide open with lots of natural light, tasteful hanging planters, and minimalist decor, there's nowhere to hide. It's a place to see and be seen, but not nearly as pretentious as that sounds. They just care about the details and it shows, including the attentive service and well balanced drinks. Though I feel like I should crawl back into the dark, dank dive bars that I know best, it's a gorgeous breath of fresh air for those good hair days. Generous parking lot, easy off the highway, good evening hours. The only thing I'll knock it for is being so far south! Anyone in the neighborhood has better treasure this place, since I won't be able to get out there that often. read more

My girls suggested this place and it's such a cute and chill vibe! Love the decor inside and ugh the expresó martini are so good and also the watermelon agua Fresca. The bartenders were okay and could have a better experience. Love the live Dj I like how fun each day of the week they have something going on. We were there when it was R+Bingo and that was so much fun! It's only 5mins from my house and there are plenty food trucks and fun bars nearby as well. read more

I had the best time in this location. The decoration is breathtaking, cozy and vibrant, all at the same time. The bartenders are so friendly and the drinks were fantastic. I highly recommend this place to anyone! A true hidden gem read more

I was so excited this was opening and now I've tried it two separate times to see if my 2nd experience would be a good one. This entire place feels like a cash grab following the mezcal trend. It's positioned as being a tequila/mezcal spot but their drinks are more basic than cocktails I can order at the airport. When I asked questions about the mezcal they use and offer the bartenders replies were always dealt with either annoyance and limited info or just an "I don't know." Plus it's $$$ you tip on top of the tip they already add but say nothing about? The basic cocktails that are known as Mexican street vendor drinks (not supposed to be $$$) can cost you over $20 alone! Then to be shady about tipping ... cash grab without a good experience. The there's the atmosphere... very limited parking shared with MANY other more busy bars, super loud inside because of no soft surfaces, and the worst part of all... the bench seats are built just tall enough that unless you're super tall, you'll have to sit at the edge of the bench and actively practice good posture. This more than the other things makes me want to leave immediately. You designed a bar to be pretty but in no way functional to its use. It's been a while since my last visit and honestly I chalked all this up to Austin's trend chasing entrepreneurs typical disconnected launch until I had AMAZING cocktails at another new spot that truly impressed with their same priced cocktails that were far far more intricate and creative PLUS they didn't try to con me out of more tip AND their space was warm, and inviting with truly exceptional customer service. That experience reminded me that inflation isn't the only thing making life more expensive ... it's also businesses delivering far less value than promised and demanding we are supremely grateful for their limited effort. If you don't want to leave the neighborhood but you still want a somewhat decent margarita .... it ain't here. Pay half the price at Bodhi's in the same parking lot. read more

This place is absolutely beautiful. The architecture, the interior design. Perfection. Looks like something you'd see in Architectural Digest and the likes. Nice side patio bar as well as a rooftop setup. The staff are so super friendly and fun to chat with. They knock it out of the park when it comes to cocktails. Can't wait to get back! read more

Lulu's has a really great relaxing vibe that goes beyond the beautiful greenery and plants that are matched against neutral cool colors of modern rattan. There is even a neon sign that says Canta y no llores which means "sing, don't cry" from the Mexican anthem song called Ceilito Lindo. Once you hear someone sing that neon sign you WILL know the song. Its a common Mexican song that is played my mariachis. Nestled amongst three other bars, just off of Menchaca Rd past Slaughter Lane in South Austin, you will find the coolest bar - y'all it is literally icy cold in here as the the a/c is always pumping which is a very good thing for these Austin summers. The service is super prompt and friendly for any drink you are feeling when you come in. Check out their aquas fresas (fresh fruity waters) as they make them in-house and will compliment any spirit you are in the mood to mix it with. Tajin and lime are standard additions to each drink which makes you feel like you are in some secret beach hideaway off a Mexican beach. Parking is a thing here on the weekends as it gets full fast (remember there are other bars that share the lot too) so just take a ride share here. You can have as many drinks you would like to have and can just get home worry-free after. Besides the driveway out of the lot can be tricky as there is cross traffic on both sides you got to worry about if you want to head back up towards Slaughter and Menchaca Rd. Plus it is dark as heck out there. Checking out their blackboard at the entrance Lulu's has a themed-night every night here for both the week and weekend. The last few times we have been here they have a fantastic DJ bumping great danceable music and the vibes outside patio and upstairs patio allows you to take a break and catch up with the other friends you brought in with you. Great place to catch up with a group of friends here as there are such cute spots all inside and outside to hang. read more

Coming to Lulu's is a breath of fresh air compared to the other local bars on Menchaca. Lulu's has a calming, earthy and natural aesthetic filled with cozy spaces. It includes an outdoor patio, and continues on to the balcony. Being owned by a mother-daughter Latina duo, you'll find fresh aguas frescas and creative Mexican inspired cocktails. If you're going for casual vibes, make sure to check their Instagram prior to going as some nights include bingo or a DJ! read more

I visited Lulu's during the Latin Food Festival. They were offering the cantarito with the purchase of a palomita. The tequila pour was a little light. It tasted more of soda than tequila but a refreshing drink nonetheless during a hot day. The live music upstairs was amazing and really set the tone for a fun food, music, and cultural festival. I look forward to coming back to Lulu's for their free salsa and bachata lessons on Sundays. read more

Lulu’s - Palomita - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Drinks were delish but I won't be back. Gratuity was added, which I am fine with except, when the screen was flipped around it appears you still need to pay gratuity which was selected for 30%. I changed it to 20% because also you are ordering at a counter and taking the drink to your table. It wasn't until the transaction was complete that I was aware that I basically ended up tipping $60 on a $100 worth of drinks. Also, the amount you are tipping on includes their added gratuity, so I tipped on my tip. Super shady. read more

Lulu's is very cute and a worth while trendy cocktail place located off of Menchaca. They have live music some days and a daily happy hour which has around $2 off of cocktails and $1 off of drafts. It's a good vibe for girls nights or romantic dates. read more

Lulu’s - Inside - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Fantastic but expensive. Had the watermelon aguafresca and vodka. It was $14, wow. A bit high. It was great though.

One of my favorite places to hang out with girlfriends in South Austin! The vibe is just right and the drinks are always yummy and boozy - a nice way to get the party started! My favorite is the Palomita - please get it and thank me later! If you're hungry for some good food, you're in luck because they have a food truck right outside the patio which serves some really delicious tacos! I recommend the birria! See you there after work? read more

Been wanting to stop by here for awhile and we finally did during happy hour! We were planning to get dinner elsewhere, so unfortunately had to skip on the food truck (which actually looks pretty good!). Instead, we ordered two drinks, a palomita and cucumber lime agua fresca. Both were made to look super cute and were fortunately also very tasty. Also, the prices were reasonable compared to what you get closer to downtown, especially during happy hour ($2 off). The inside and outdoor spaces are very chill, modern, and give off a relaxing/vacationy vibe that I really appreciated. Would absolutely go again to try different drinks, and the food truck! read more

Lulu’s - Palomita and cucumber lime agua fresca - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great ambiance and drinks! They had live music too. Recommend the espresso martini. Tough to find parking.

Ambience: Lulu's is a hidden gem in South Austin! I was impressed by the lite and airy ambience that immediately helped me relax after a long day. The bartenders were conversational and offered great recommendations. I sat on the covered patio. The music and playlist was perfect. Drinks and Food: Lulu's has a great drink menu with lots of classics. I opted for Palomita. It was refreshing, but I wanted more citrus. I was looking forward to the grapefruit, but the taste was pretty muted. The drinks were on HH so $2 off There's a food truck outside that serves tacos, enchiladas, queso, and more. Overall: I really enjoyed Lulu's vibe! I see it as a place I'll visit often to unwind. While my drink wasn't everything I was looking for, I'm happy to give them another chance to impress! read more

Super rude door guy. Would give a ZERO but you have to give something to post. We weren't even inside and he was pushing my friend away from the door as he was looking for his DL. Will never go back. read more

SUPER CUTE PLACE!!! Newly renovated. Good simple and cute drinks. This review is really about the DANK FOOD TRUCK on the patio, Taquicardia. The quesabirria quesadilla blew my pants off. SO GOOD. Comes with delicious fluffy white cilantro rice and consome for dipping. Their guac is HOMEMADE and beautiful.... Finding good mexican food/tacos in Austin is SO hard and finding a foodtruck at a bar with cute decor and good music is all a big bonus ... wowza read more

Lulu’s - Food truck in the back - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

This bar is really cute and the decor is very fitting. I enjoyed the DJ and also outside patio sitting. The bathrooms were clean. The only reason I deducted a star is because parking is very minimal and congested on a Saturday night. This place sits in between other businesses and they all share the same parking. Try to get in early if possible. I attended for a surprise birthday party and was unaware so I spent 20 mins circling the parking area to get a spot. The drinks were nice and unique. The bartender who assisted me was friendly and able to answer all my questions. read more

This place is along with the other bars within walking distance are a must go and experience. The bar has such a chill setting but at the same time great music and drinks to go along. The bar staff are always a vibe and the place in my opinion is for the more grown but still hip enough for the younger crowd. Plenty of seating area and patio that makes for a small intimate date or a large group ready to enjoy the night. read more

Lulu's is a cute, new bar that opened up behind Parlay House on Menchaca. My girlfriends and I have visited a couple times and we've really enjoyed the cocktails. The aesthetic and cocktails represent Mexico City with an Austin flair. It's an easy going vibe with good music that's not too loud since we like to visit with each other. The bartenders are friendly and they've even got boozy Aguas Frescas. Looking forward to going back and trying different cocktails. read more

We were in the area and decided to pop in and try Lulu's drinks. Lulu's has the a super simple boho chic vibe & their drinks are amazing. Tried the watermelon and cantaloupe Fresca with shot of tequila and for a hot austin day it hit the spot so well. The service was great and we will for sure be back for some more drinks. read more

I love the Agua Frescas, fresh and flavorful added tequila to the drinks. I tried the Watermelon and the Pineapple one. I would say drinks are solid. Did not get to try the food. Few things, the bartender charged us different amounts for the drinks claiming "happy hour" but we ordered them at the same time so that didn't make sense. Seating is very limited, wish they had more room for people to sit at. We were there when they had some drag show, which we usually love but it was honestly horrible entertainment that day. read more

Went for drinks when I was in Austin recently. It was a Sunday and got busier as the early evening to evening went along. Love the deck upstairs - perfect for watching the sunset. Be careful when you go to pay. Gratuity is already added, but the screen makes it look like you need to add in gratuity. This is EXTRA gratuity. L. They never told me, but I caught it. Other than that little thing, loved it. read more

Cute vibes inside - very bohemian chic. Drinks are self-order at the bar. Lines can get a bit long, so grab a seat first if you'd like. Noise level is HIGH. Could barely hear my conversation over the music and chatter. Great hangout spot. Parking lot is a little tricky to navigate so come early and snag spots. Happy hour 4-7pm. read more

I tried to take some family and friends on a Saturday afternoon and it was PACKED and loud. My husband and I went on a Friday afternoon and it was empty (but it was about to rain). Either way, know you could get either experience but the interior is so beautiful. They're kid friendly (win win). I even saw one family bring their portable high chair and clamp it to the table (genius). They have some board games, and a great food truck and even better cocktails. Beautiful bar. Would be good for a date or a hang. Stoked to have them in south austin! read more

10/10 drinks! Lulu's was the perfect place for a girls' happy hour. They have a wide variety of drinks and their margarita is delicious. They have a lively ambiance and their DJs kept getting better and better as evening turned into night time. They have cute decor and a cohesive theme that meshes well with the Mexican beverage menu. It's a massive space and I loved how they have a dancing area for night time. Though it isn't their fault, Lulu's gets 4 stars from me and not 5 due to the awful parking lot outside the establishment. I was lucky enough to find a parking spot but getting out was a whole other nightmare - and I was sober! Some signs by the building would help a lot. Cars were driving in the opposite direction and had to reverse out of lot. read more

I also ordered more tacos and guacamole to go. The guacamole was fresh and you get three big scoops. The chips are the good kind too.
