Our Story

Hi, we’re Lulu’s.

A casual, communal, bottle-driven winegarden (think: beer garden-style service but with wine), with three lush garden patios, reimagined dinner party fare, and a fun and affordable wine list. Dreamt up by local husband-and-wife team Paul and Brittany Carlson, we’re basically your favorite casual-yet-chic, backyard wine bar.

Come for the diverse 50-bottle wine list, and stay for the creative, casual and shareable dishes with hints of the southwest from chef and partner Cable Smith, getaway-inspired craft cocktails, well-curated beer selection, sunny vibes, and magical, plant-filled and vibrant space.

Evoking the atmosphere of a modern backyard wine party meets beer garden, our space brings the outdoors in, with an indoor ‘patio’ inspired by warm-weather climates. The open, airy space is accented by warm, earthy color tones, natural woods, decorative breeze blocks, twinkling string lights, glowing candles, a wall of dried flowers from Guatemala, and live greenery throughout.

As at a beer garden, groups are welcomed, with large handmade wood tables with built-in ice buckets to keep bottles chilled. There is also bar and ledge seating, and plenty of standing room for lively gatherings. The indoor space features two large flat screen TVs to air sporting events, debates and more. The space is also family-friendly and dogs are welcome on the streatery and front patio.

Lulu’s Winegarden also features three lush outdoor patios – an ivy-lined front patio overlooking dynamic U Street, a charming plant-filled back courtyard, and a chic streatery.
