“ One of the last decent bars in the neighborhood. When I was in the area recently I was disappointed to hear that a staple, B Side had recently closed down. But, the atmosphere at Lucky is nice, happy hour prices were just as good, and the bartenders were definitely less rude. Granted, to have a better attitude than a B-side employee is an extremely low bar but it's definitely something. Would come back here again next time I'm in the area. ”
“ I've read thru these reviews and I'm shocked at some of them...but hey it's NY. This bar is the best in the East Village. The bartender (I don't remember her name) she was such a calm and chill women. We have only stopped by a couple of times when we're in the neighborhood and each time she is there and remembers us, the conversation picks up pretty much where it left off the last time we were there. As I'm typing this my wife and I are planning our next visit to NY and guess whats on our list of places to stop.... You guessed it, your bar. Boss Lady keep it up you have a great bar, see you soon ”

“ Went here the night of the Super Bowl with a new friend. Amazing vibe and drinks. Live music was wonderful ”
“ I love this bar and so does my dog. We have been coming here since the late summer of 2024 and have only had great times. The bartender on Friday nights is really cool and friendly. Be careful which day you go tho as sometimes NYU bros show up and act obnoxious but that isn't the bar's fault. ”
“ Lucky what can I say sorry guys should have written this way sooner if I could give it a ten i would. Followed the bar on instagram from March this year and visited in September spent at least 6 afternoons/ nights in the bar over the 2weeks I was over. Loved the bar and staff and was never on my own. Miss the bar and will be back soon. ”
“ Fantastic little pub! Great service from bar man (wish I got his name but he had longish salt and peppered hair). We brought our drinks back to the bar but he didn’t see so he followed us down the street to make sure we didn’t get fined for open carrying our beers (we are foreign tourists). 10/10 would come back again ”
“ Amazing East village neighborhood bar! Highly recommend color night ”
