About Lulie Tavern

Lulie Tavern is a rock'n'roll pub on Johnston Street in Abbotsford, with the Full Moon Fever rooftop bar on the level above. It is known for free live music several nights a week, a free pool table, American-style burgers and a dog-friendly welcome. Full Moon Fever is a Tom Petty-themed rooftop saloon full of cacti, with a retractable roof, heaters, an open fire and misters for the warmer months. It seats 60 or takes 100 with a mix of seating and standing, and DJ equipment is on hand. The rooftop can be hired privately on enquiry, or a group can book a section of it as a shared space. Downstairs, the tavern takes 145 across seating and standing, with air conditioning, a projector and DJ gear. For a full takeover, Lulie Tavern and Full Moon Fever can be booked together for up to 225 guests. The whole building is accessible, with a lift between the two levels. Group canapé packages are $24 per person for three choices, $30 for four and $35 for five, from cheeseburger sliders and fish tacos to mac and cheese croquettes and vegan tenders. Three choices make a solid snack, while four or five work as a meal. Drinks can run on a set bar spend with your choice of tap beer, sparkling, spirits or cocktails, or as a drinks package built for the group. Cakes are welcome, and you can send an enquiry to book.
