Comments
A little history on the name: The name Lumo translates to “light” in Esperanto- a language devised in the late 19th century. It is based on the roots from some of the main European languages and was also used as an international mode of communication.
The spirits of this cocktail bar cannot be dampened by the global pandemic. There is something for everyone at Lumo. Whether it be a happy high after a couple of small ones, 4 pitchers of beer for you and your date to tank up or intoxicating potions brewed up by the head bartender, Josiah Chee, Lumo has it all. These come with rows of sparkling, juicy meats grilled to perfection. Add a set list of American rock classics from the early 2000s and you’ve got yourself a fun date filled with heaps of food, gallons of liquid and music to headbang to.
NAME Lumo means light in Esperanto; an international auxiliary language created by Polish ophthalmologist Ludwig Leizer Zamenhof to unify people across the world. Light signifies creativity and positivity; values that are an extension of Lumo's individual characters, and values on which they aim to build a community upon.
SPACE Tucked on the ground floor of a post-war art deco/ modern era shophouse, the exterior of Lumo looks like an unassuming speak-easy type restaurant bar. Once entered, the warm cosy modern interior is a refreshing juxtapose to the vintage facade of the building. The layout of Lumo is unique, offering 2 distinct spaces and experiences - the 40-seater bar offers more fun and energy, and the 20-seater open kitchen is perfect for guests wanting a more intimate dining experience. Despite the distinct spaces, guests can enjoy food and drinks at both places.
ATMOSPHERE Lumo's song list of indie electro-pop is specially curated to create a fun and energetic atmosphere. Occasionally, they will mix it up with some vintage classics. Come and join them for a good time.
