St LuJa, a cocktail bar based out of St Kilda, Melbourne, is pleased to announce that they are offering a premier spot for holding functions, along with cocktail experiences and whiskey tastings hosted by top international and local distilleries. One of St Kilda’s finest cocktail bars, St LuJa offers an exclusive Melbourne experience with a rich ambience and 1930s art deco atmosphere.
James Murphy, the head bartender at St LuJa said, “We took over from a previous establishment, actually this place used to be called ‘Laika,’ and it had been here since 2008. in 2017, Luke Jovanovski and I transformed it into what it is today. Luke, my partner in this venture, manages the functions and operations, while I am the head bartender. Between the two of us and our top-notch kitchen and service team, we’ve turned this place into exactly what we envisioned it to be: An eclectically edgy venue where the ambience is as rich as the cocktails we serve. Here, you are transported to a home-away-from-home where the conversations you have are more intriguing than the notifications on your phone. Our staff are welcoming and attentive, and more importantly, they are fluent in the language of all things booze.”
“If you start looking for ‘Functions St Kilda,’ this is the place you want to find. We are available for private functions and events all week. Birthdays, corporate functions, weddings, stags, receptions — we are ready to serve you. We’ve perfected cocktail making and frequently travel for further inspiration. We’ve got some drinks you’ve never even heard of. We also serve a variety of seasonally inspired meals coupled with smoke fusion elements. Really, you can’t go wrong with St LuJa for your events.”
“Our whiskey ages slowly, but the drinks pour quickly,” Luke quipped. “That’s a big part of why we get such rave reviews, I believe. People like drinking, and we give them the good stuff to drink. St LuJa is also right around the recently reopened iconic Melbourne venue: The Espy with St LuJa pleased to offer 2-for-1 cocktails right around the corner on Fridays. We offer a bottomless cocktail brunch on Sundays by the beach with a meal and four hours of unlimited drinks. That’s not even mentioning our Melbourne Whisky Tasting experience, which is something we recommend for everyone.”
Customers who have visited St LuJa have nothing but praise to offer. Christian W. says, “I’ve been in Australia for a few weeks on business-related matters. Once my team finished all our meetings, we went to St LuJa for a celebratory round of drinks. The place is fantastic, the decor took me right back to my childhood, since my parents were big on early 1900’s decor. The service was excellent too. All of our needs were tended to. The meals and the drinks kept coming and it was the perfect way to close a long day of meetings and handshakes. I am definitely returning to St LuJa the next time I’m in Melbourne.”
Another customer, James J., said “It’s absolutely fantastic to find a speakeasy-style bar in Melbourne. This is perfect. The art-deco decor is awesome, especially towards the back, near the fire. The service and food was fantastic too, and it was topped off by an excellent dessert. It could make a dead man come back to life for seconds. It’s a great spot and this is not the last time I’m going to be visiting it. Lovely place, just lovely. I plan on bringing more of my friends, next time around. Would recommend to everyone.”
