Booked a table for two with my wife to have a quiet dinner and drink. Cal and his team did not disappoint. A nice little snack for dinner a couple of ice-cold bevvies on a Thursday evening was perfect. We have enjoyed this local gem since opening and it never lets us down, good, honest food, cold drinks, great atmosphere and exceptional service. Lulu's has very easily become our local and regular for an easy dinner out. If you have not had the good fortune to experience the hospitality of Cal and his team, do yourself a favor and make a booking. BTW, try the Mango Sour (as recommended last night by Cal) it certainly hit the spot :)

A nice small inclusive atmosphere. Noise levels way too high due to hard floors and low ceilings. Service was polite and earnest. Not great at checking in or clearing, given it was not too busy.

Excellent value for money. Not the best food but based on price and being a local hangout we loved Lulu's Social. Staff were friendly and the food fresh so we couldn't ask for much more with the price. It'd be amazing for a private event.

Great little spot for locals to hang out. Clean and modern, yet casual enough for families. Great value for money with $15 margaritas and I loved the Chilli & Coconut Margarita. YUM! Food was simple bar style food and again good selection of menu items and priced reasonable. Will be back!
