Lulu's Speakeasy

Descend into the depths of Storyville’s hidden gem, Lulu’s speakeasy-style bar in the lower level.  It’s the perfect rendezvous for those seeking an intimate and mysterious spot to enjoy exceptional drinks and engaging conversation.

Who is Lulu?

Inspired by one of the most notorious and financially successful madam’s in New Orleans, Storyville, Lulu (1868 – 1931) promoted herself and fellow sex workers, many of whom were also women of color, defying the segregation laws in Louisiana at the time.

An eccentric figure, she was noted for her entrepreneurship, love of jewelry, influence on jazz music, and sex-positive spirit.
