Lulu’s Downstairs is moving up some floors — and becoming Lulu’s Downtown.
The entertainment venue, which announced it would be closing its location in Manitou Springs last week, will be moving into the space formerly occupied by Studio 32 Discotheque on the second floor of 32 S. Tejon St. The Baldwin Cohn Group, which owns the downtown Colorado Springs building, confirmed the move.
“I’m super-duper excited,” said Lulu’s owner Marc Benning. “I think to be downtown will be really nice, just to be around people and energy. I think it’s a really easy location for the entirety of the community to get to.”
As for Studio 32 Discotheque, a Studio 54-inspired nightclub that opened in January of last year, it has closed its doors, the Baldwin Cohn Group confirmed. The Gazette reached out to Studio 32 Discotheque, but was unable to connect to the owner for comment .
Lulu’s new location is set to open in the coming weeks, with Bennings hoping to debut the space as soon as possible. The venue is right above Mexican restaurant Illegal Pete’s, which has plans to open in April after two years of delays.
