Two years after shutting down, Kings Cross nightclub Hugos will reopen later this year as Flamingo Lounge: an ’80s inspired, Miami-themed bar which will host three club nights a week.
The bar will be operated by the management team who previously ran Double Bay’s Casablanca Bar, which was forced to closed due to development reasons. The new bar will be more cocktail-centric, with extended opening hours, and a dark nightclub section balanced by a classy terrace bar.
“If the main club is downtown Miami, then the terrace bar is South Beach,” designer Josh Clapp told Concrete Playground. “The lighting will also have a bit of Las Vegas and Caribbean flare, but we’re moving away from that ‘New York speakeasy’ vibe you see everywhere.”
Flamingo Lounge will open in September.
