Gen X and late ’90s romanticists, your Y2K-themed cocktail lounge has arrived. Dubbed Zero Lounge , the immersive concept debuts on November 22 in the former Noir space on Hudson Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, where everything Y2K is new again. They’ve set up the space to celebrate pop culture from the late 1990s and early 2000s with flip phones and a full cocktail menu.
Though the name says Zero Lounge, this isn’t a zero-proof bar. Along with non-alcoholic drinks, there are boozy drinks like the Spice Girl Sour, Basil Patch Kid, or the Fresh Prince Fizz, mixing vodka, Blackberries, lime, agave, and soda water. The room is bright purple with neon colors, an old-school TV with a VCR, Britney Spears and The Matrix posters, and a vintage iBook laptop.
All that’s missing is an ice-cold Zima . Founder Kevin De Nicolo opened the spot to provide an escape for those nostalgic of the era. “The Y2K aesthetic represents a carefree, fun-loving spirit.
People want a reason to go out. We want to give them that escape.” Starting November 22, Zero Lounge will be open Wednesday to Sunday from 6 p.
m. to 2 a.m.
