AustraliaBar Lou Lou, a new wine bar and op shop, has opened in a historic building formerly known as Barry Parade Public House. The venue retains much of its original 1920s architecture, including terrazzo floors and wooden fixtures, while incorporating a cozy, lived-in aesthetic with mismatched furniture and second-hand items sourced from an on-site op shop. Owner Louise Marks transitioned from a media career to open the bar after being inspired by the space and her experience working at Zero Fox. The bar focuses on a curated selection of 12 wines, primarily from smaller producers, with plans to rotate the menu frequently. The establishment also features a small beer selection and maintains the charming courtyard from its previous incarnation.
