About Town: Lux Lounge Lizards

That’s what we were, lounge lizards on Friday night at the opening of  downtown Lux Lounge. The evening turned out to be a huge success with complimentary locally produced craft beers and the wine & bubbly provided by Backyard Vineyards, a local winery located in Langley.  A DJ played all evening while delicious in house Canapés were passed around & plentiful. We drank, we ate, we danced we drank……

The atmosphere is exceptional.  Lux Lounge features oversized ornate skylights, crystal chandeliers as well as a fireplace to create an intimate and enjoyable experience.  This is not to be outdone by their outstanding outdoors experience; fountains & two covered patios; flooded with sunlight during the day and kept cosy & warm with heaters at night.  The enchanting grass courtyard is in the perfect oasis in the middle of downtown Vancouver.

Lux Lounge offers a wide variety of menu options – a la carte, a wide array of world fusion cuisine (see sample below), platters & set menus – something for everyone!  Guests can sit back, relax and enjoy one of their signature cocktails crafted by one of the talented mixologists or try one of the locally produced craft beers – all while playing a game of free pool.  LL can accommodate weddings, birthday parties – any celebration for that matter.  There’s a charming raised fireplace area perfectly suited to smaller parties of 15-30 as well as a private function area complete with its own bar, a  pool table & an adjoining covered courtyard for those wanting a more casual experience.   Multiple flat screen TVs & large screen projectors are perfect for power point presentations for business meetings & can be easily attached to laptops.
