Zero Lounge

Zero Lounge, nestled at 1710 N Hudson Ave in Hollywood, is a pop‑culture playground designed for millennials chasing that late‑90s/early‑2000s nostalgia fix. From its vaporwave interiors and neon purple glow to decor like posters of The Matrix, vintage iBook laptops, and flip phones, the vibe is immersive and whimsically nostalgic. Founder Kevin De Nicolo envisioned a place where the digital generation could rediscover a sense of connection—an antidote to doom‑scrolling culture. He teamed up with FTB.DESIGN to craft a space that balances retro charm with futuristic design. The cocktail menu, curated by expert mixologist Katie DiMento, features playful drinks like the Spice Girl Sour, Afterschool PB&J, Tamagotchi Tea, Limewire, and Nokia Nectar. Plus, there are vibrant mocktails, ensuring all guests can partake. Expect more than just drinks—Zero Lounge brings trivia nights, karaoke, DJ sets, and themed events (think Shrek or Twilight) into the mix, elevating the bar into an experience hub. With its design celebrating early internet era nostalgia, retro media, and Y2K culture, Zero Lounge offers an escape into a playful, social, and visually striking world—perfect for forging new memories spiked with old‑school vibes.
