About us

St. Lui is a Japanese-inspired vinyl listening and cocktail bar brought to you by the team behind Smokey T's. We're building our version of the perfect living room: great food, great cocktails, great people, vinyl playing through what we're pretty confident is one of the best sound systems in New Zealand. The St. Lui menu is inspired by Japanese izakaya food with a little Kiwi influence. It's designed around food that belongs alongside great drinks and a great night out.
