Beirut speakeasy Lucy Lu opens its first Dubai bar at 25 Jump Street

Lucy Lu, a speakeasy that started in the Gemmayze neighbourhood of Beirut, is opening its first Dubai venue this October.

It is on 25 Jump Street in the Trade Centre area, behind 25hours Hotel One Central, a strip of 12 dining concepts from 7 Management and Ennismore. The entrance is a discreet blue door, and inside the room has deep maroon walls, dark wood and the brand's rabbit mascot.

The bar serves classic cocktails with house twists and sharing plates, and a DJ takes over later in the evening. An exact opening date has not been announced; updates are on its Instagram account, @lucyluthespeakeasydxb.
