I stopped in at Lucky's last night just for a quick glass of whiskey...out of nowhere, Lucky's has a band on a Tues night for their open mic. The band, The Rockforphiles, proceeded to rock the house for nearly two hours playing old rock songs by The Clash, The Who, Bowie, some Guided By Voices, and even Johnny Cash (!). This really surprised me, since I haven't seen music at Lucky's before. The atmosphere has changed a lot since the old days, and for the better. Great little bar for some whiskey, a PBR tall boy, and some rock n roll.

my parents use to own this bar for years, udring that time it was divey and gutterpunk which is great, then the unexpected happened and the bar was gone. Now this place is completely fucked, itallian cusine? come on this is ne portland, not to mention its a dump and a goddamn cluster fuck...

Fuck luckys

Terrific bar, unconventional crowd that sings along with everything from Sinatra to U2 (and sometimes even knows most of the words), fantastic bartenders and cheap booze. Iit just don't get much better.

I love this place, good local bar. cheap beer (16oz PBR) and great service. I always have a good time here. The food don't know about, but dont care when i go to a bar i go to drink not eat bar food.

i used to stop in this place fairly frequently and it wasn't a bad bar. nice place to have a few pints. stopped by friday night after i went to B-land for Ska from Little Pete. hmmm, not even sure how to described it now and i even asked one of the few regulars left what the hell happened. he just shook his head. not plannin' on going back anytime soon

. . . and Lucky's now has the good fortune to have her in their employ. Somehow, she makes your highballs just taste better.

Great menu but he does not sell enough food to keep ingredients fresh so roll the dice. Tons o turnover with staf means the owner is a tool cameras all over the place. Owner totaly paranoid probably on drugs. He's the glad-hander type.

Strong drinks, yep. And dont' forget the eye in the sky. Lucky's owner lives upstairs and watchs the whole place on camera.

Lucky's is dope yo. They've seen a lot of bartenders come and go but lately they are on it like vomit and the drinks are stiff as shit on a summer shingle.

Lucky's is tight, seriously. The staff is always friendly, I can't vouch for the food, as a vegiterian I don't trust barfood. Just because it says it's vegetarian doesn't mean it hasn't been soaking in meat juice beforehand.

I'm kind of surprised this place isn't classified under "dive" though.

I agree with Laura that the drinks are strong, and the food is good, if you can get any! Out of about 25 times I've been there, they've had a cook three times. Before writing the revue, I just called. No cook. The hours, although posted, are also very random. Definitely call before making the trip.

Lucky's has no personality. It has a cold basement feel to it. The floor staff is very unorganized. You will never get a drink if you rely on them. The bar is a cluster-fuck. You can stand there forever and never get acknowledged. Completely dead on the weekdays. Weekends they seem to pack the young crowd in (some with fake I.D. as well). Great place for the youngsters. I recommend going downtown Portland if you want to dance.

This place used to be so much fun to go hang out with my punk friends~ Now it's a fucking overpriced middle-class bar (with italian food? what the fuck?), with a dance floor and a plate of spaghetti that costs 10 bucks. Fuck Lucky's.

excellent pour on the drinks and amazing italian food
