Zero Lounge

When Kevin De Nicolo took the former Noir space from Moulin Rouge! to vaporwave oasis, he committed to the bit. “We take what we do seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously,” he says, lit by a vibrant display striped across the ceiling that will remind you of Windows 98 file transfers and later haunt drunk-you with floating Furbies. Both the house spirit-free drinks and cocktails aren’t reinventing the wheel, but they’re reliably tasty at lower-than-average Hollywood prices with nostalgic names like Limewire and Nokia Nectar. Stussies line the bathroom wall while DJs spin Y2K tunes in a mini bedroom set just off the intergalactic hydroponic lounge area.
