The idea of Lula Restaurant-Distillery was collaborated between Jess Bourgeois and Bear Caffery who share a passion for outstanding food paired with finely crafted cocktails. The two friends and business partners met in 2009 when Jess tagged along with mutual friends on a vacation to visit Bear. At that time, Bear was living in Invercargill, New Zealand. Bear moved back to the states and settled in Louisiana in 2009. That’s when the Lula Restaurant-Distillery concept really began to take shape. The needed approvals to operate a restaurant distillery led Jess and Bear in the spring of 2015 to the Louisiana State Capitol to seek approval through House Bill 233. Luckily, with the support of many, the bill passed and was signed into law in the summer of 2015 allowing Lula to exist and paving the way for future restaurant-distillery concepts in the state.
