Lulu's Roadhouse was a nightclub and live music venue in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada at 4263 King Street East.[1] It was known as having the world's longest bar in the Guinness World Records book.[2][3][4] The club was opened by Karl Magid in April 1984. The 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m2) club that held 3,000 people frequently brought in musical acts, especially rock artists from the 50s to the 70s. The club changed owners in 1989 and went bankrupt in 1992 following a recession. It was revived under new ownership, and began to bring in newer artists, from the 70s to 90s. The club closed in April 2000.
