As the birthplace of Jingchu culture, Wuhan has not shown its skills in the overall development of boutique bars, and there is no large-scale chain boutique bar brand in Wuhan, even if it has been widely entered into the field of consumers' field of vision, it has only slightly improved in Wuhan.
Lilac Lounge is the most outstanding boutique bar in Wuhan, and its rich wine range, excellent production, and appropriate atmosphere make it the best place for local drinkers. Its first store, W.Clove Lilac Lounge, opened in late 2016 and has amassed a strong popularity in just a few years, receiving almost unanimous praise from drinkers. In September 2018, the second store of the Clove series, V.Clove Enamel Lounge, opened in Wuhan Tiandi, and the overall strength is slightly inferior to the former.
Wine is the most important factor in judging a boutique bar, and Lilac Lounge knows it. Here, diners can enjoy not only the usual classic cocktails, but also several specialty cocktails on the wine list. They don't have the fame that is widely known, and the rarity and unmistakable character are what these specialty cocktails are best known for. "Shanghai Girl" is a signature cocktail at the top of the list, which incorporates Tequlia, hawthorn, apricot, brandy and other elements, and has a sweet and sour taste, with a slight alcohol sensation until the wine slides down the throat, and a slight sweetness in the mouth, this light taste makes it highly appreciated by female drinkers. As a plus, the bartenders at the Lilac Lounge have a deep foundation and are able to control the taste of the wine according to the customer's requirements, making the cocktails more appealing. When it comes to whisky selection, Scottish origins dominate the list, and while Scottish whisky has a good reputation in the whisky scene, it is still not exhaustive for the discerning and seasoned drinker.
The great atmosphere is one of the reasons why the Lilac Lounge is almost full every night. Groups of young men and women are chatting freely in the store, and the sound is just right in the background of POP music that does not drown out the conversation. Like other bars, the lilac is dimly lit, adding a touch of ambiance to a late-night drink. The bar is well ventilated and the smell of smoke is hard to find.
Compared to the wine production and the atmosphere of the store, the service of the Lilac Lounge is a little lagging behind. As soon as the drinkers enter the door, the waiter will guide them to their seats and deliver water first, but then add snacks and water to the drinkers. Since the store is often full, the serving time is also a little delayed.
