Zouk is coming to Los Angeles, opening March 14. The nightlife concept is taking over Nightingale Plaza, at 643 N. La Cienega Blvd. The ownership remains the same: Sam Nazarian of Sbe, the privately held lifestyle hospitality company he launched in 2002. But the venue has been transformed, in partnership with Hui Lim of Zouk Group. The namesake property Zouk first opened in Singapore in 1991, then Malaysia and Tokyo, and has since expanded to Las Vegas. At 16,500 square feet, Zouk L.A. is focused on top-notch production and sound, with live music as a central focus; the venue is set to feature top talent from its Las Vegas counterpart, including Lil Wayne, Kaskade, Illenium, and James Hype. Guests can expect a late-night menu featuring a selection of American classics and light bites, in a lounge-like atmosphere designed by Sbe’s former in-house designer Christian Schulz and his boutique agency, Studio Collective. “Los Angeles is the next step in our journey, a city built on culture, creativity, and a passion for world-class experiences,” Lim said in a statement. “In partnership with Sam Nazarian and Sbe, we are bringing our signature innovation, high-energy productions, and global expertise to set a new standard for nightlife in L.A. — cementing Zouk’s presence in the most influential entertainment destinations worldwide.”
