LULIE HIGHLIGHTS

LULIE TAVERN & FULL MOON FEVER HIGHLIGHTS

 
 

🍻 Lulie Tavern (Ground Floor)

  • A classic rock‑’n’‑roll, dive‑bar aesthetic with Tom Petty memorabilia, neon signs, free pool, and a party‑’69 vibe -

  • Strong reputation for American‑style burgers and fried bar food—think Whopper riffs, fried chicken options (including vegan), wings, onion rings, loaded burgers like the Whole Lotta Love, and more -

  • Great value: relaxed casual atmosphere with energetic weekends, live music, and robust drink offerings—from local craft beer to simple cocktails -

  • Open Mon‑Tue from 4 pm; Wed‑Sun from midday until late

🌵 Full Moon Fever (Upstairs Rooftop Bar)

  • A Cali‑desert‑inspired rooftop saloon, named after Tom Petty’s 1989 album. Designed with cacti, timber booths, red bricks, terrazzo styling, a retractable roof, and an outdoor wood heater for year‑round comfort

  • Vibrant cocktail scene: expect Tommy’s margaritas, mezcal‑and‑grapefruit sips like “Dazed & Confused,” and novelty cactus‑shaped 3‑litre dispensers filled with tequila‑blood orange‑prosecco mixes

  • Food menu mirrors downstairs: burgers (including vegan fried‑chicken and Whopper riffs), Southern fried wings, hot chips & gravy, etc. Served at tavern‑style prices in casual ordering format

  • Atmosphere: open‑air, laidback rooftop vibes contrasting the dimmer, divey feel downstairs, complete with DJs and sometimes live bands

  • Hosts events like Moon Flix rooftop movies (free cult film nights in July), Music Bingo by drag‑queen Spencer Street on Tuesdays, and “Hump Day” specials including $12 burgers and $18 jugs of beer

🎯 Why They Stand Out

  • Design & atmosphere: Full Moon Fever transports you to a Joshua Tree‑style desert bar above the hustle of Johnston Street, offering a stylish contrast to Lulie Tavern’s gritty, neon‑lit interior

  • Events & programming: Unique entertainment that goes beyond typical pub fare—drag‑hosted bingo, rooftop cinema, DJs and bands making both floors feel fresh and fun

  • Food & drink done well: Juicy, classic burgers made with local Aussie produce, inventive cocktails with agave flavors, and cocktails served in crowd‑pleasing formats like cactus dispensers

  • Accessibility & flexibility: Walk‑ins welcome, dog friendly, and large groups catered for—easygoing to book, easygoing to hang out

  • ✅ In Short…

  • Lulie Tavern: Your go-to if you want classic burgers, retro rock-'n-roll dive-bar vibes, free pool, and energetic live music.

  • Full Moon Fever: Head upstairs when you're after chill rooftop sunsets, inventive cocktails, desert-themed aesthetics, and regular special events.

Whether you're looking for a rowdy Saturday night downstairs or a breezy rooftop drink with friends, both venues deliver different flavours of fun—under one roof at 225 Johnston Street, Abbotsford.
