BarFly's Review of Lucky's

The slow transition from gutterpunk dive to neighborhood bar fond of the Italian cuisine and expansive patio has troubled a certain sort of patron - those straining to find their old dealer, mostly - but this second incarnation of The Lucky has maintained a boozy charm. The rocker elements continue to bang the video games and down cheap pints, but, come midnight, they’re more likely searching out lasagna. Excellent choice for NFL Sundays come autumn.

Reader Reviews of Lucky's
Great dive bar...
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.

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

food
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.

best bar on 28th
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.

Never a Dull Moment
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.

Call first!
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.

Ho-hum
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.

NO!!!!!!
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.
