Free to enter just register from 7pm - Kicks off at 7.30pm.

Live at Lula's are turning up the tempo every Thursday as our real-life Jukebox plays nothing but songs requested by YOU.

So kick it off with a ballad, bring back the old-school then take it home with a banger as we dance (if you want to) the night away with Auckland's LIVEliest Jukebox.

Simply write your requests, hand it to the band (add a tip for good measure) and enjoy the songs you love played LIVE.

Franc’s offers a variety of options for special diets (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and more), so families, friends and colleagues can make choices from the same menu. Everyone brings something to the table, so let’s eat together!

Our menu is created and assembled by our chefs to offer a balance of creative, and nutritious dishes that can be enjoyed daily. We draw on our Americana influence and our love of contemporary street food for inspiration, offering a variety of tastes and textures that change with the seasons. We strive for balance and flavour over extreme dietary practices, and simple whole foods instead of the latest artificial invention.

Got some loose change and in need of a pick me up? What better combo than coffee and vodka and at Birdie's, for a mere $6 bucks.

While you're sipping away on that good news, here's a piece of trivia for you to snack on - this drink started life in 1983 at Soho House in London (the legendary place where Meghan and Harry went on their first date) when a model asked for something to "pick her up" and something more explicit we can't say out loud. The bartender was standing next to the coffee machine when this exchange went down and so the rest, as they say, is history!
