Christian Louboutin has brought Paris back to Sydney, and this time the city feels different. The Maison’s coveted Louboutin Bar returned this November, transforming Level 7 of David Jones Elizabeth Street into a world dipped entirely in glossy, lacquered red. What was once a luxury shoe floor now feels like a portal, drawing guests into a Parisian evening where every chair, every sip, and every detail nods to the designer who built an empire on a single iconic colour.
The bar sits just steps away from the Christian Louboutin boutique, glowing like a jewel box under soft illumination. Designed with the charm of a Parisian brasserie and the mischief of Louboutin’s creative spirit, the space is crowned with velvet chairs embroidered with the brand’s monogram—an invitation to sink in, exhale, and surrender to a moment that feels both indulgent and intimate.
The menu pays tribute to the Maison’s playful sophistication. The signature Loubitini cocktail blends Papa Salt Coastal Gin, mandarin liqueur, chocolate bitters, orange, sage, and lemon sherbet for a drink that tastes like Sydney summer dressed in Parisian chic. Alongside the cocktails, Lune has created the exclusive Loubi Love Cake—a croissant layered with pistachio frangipane and Persian love cake, brushed with rosewater syrup and finished with pistachios, buttercream, and rose petals. It is unapologetically decadent, the kind of treat you plan a detour for. Guests can also enjoy Lune’s traditional croissant and pain au chocolat, completing the sensory escape.
Open from 6 November 2025 to 5 January 2026, the Louboutin Bar has quickly become the city’s newest festive-season rendezvous. It is perfect for a midday champagne, an after-shopping cocktail, or a quiet moment of indulgence above the holiday rush. For those wanting a preview, the imagery is available directly through the official link at David Jones via the shared Dropbox folder, capturing the bar’s immersive red glow and its elegant atmosphere.
For Sydney’s style lovers, this pop-up offers more than refreshments. It’s a reminder of how a brand built on craftsmanship and imagination can turn a simple corner of a department store into a place where moments feel cinematic. And as guests linger over pastries and cocktails, they inevitably find themselves drifting toward the boutique next door, exploring the world of Christian Louboutin with a new sense of curiosity and delight.
