Bad Luck Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Absolutely one of my favorite hidden gems in the city. We discovered Bad Luck Bar shortly after they open, and we love making it back whenever we can. The underground vibes and innovative custom cocktails are worth the stop. Last night we learned the staff take about a year to innovate and craft their cocktails before releasing new menus. Make sure you make a reservation as the space is incredibly small and they book up. Highly recommend!
This bougy hole in a wall is slinging some of the best cocktails in town! The bartender really took care of us, asking about flavor profiles we enjoyed and explaining the inspiration for each beverage on the menu. She even made us a passion fruit corpse reviver that will haunt me forever. Thanks for an incredible experience!
Love the intimate mystical setting! You have to reserve early in the week to be able to get in but worth the effort. Very unique drinks!
Phenomenal speakeasy. A hidden gem down in the back of an alley. The experience is worth every penny. Inventive drinks, with outstanding presentations and impeccable flavors. We tried The Hammer, The Alchemist, Tears of Ra and Discipline. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back here!

An amazing experience, hidden gem. Matthew our bartender made our first time so much fun! I love the quaint atmosphere that this bar has, and given the limited seating — it makes you feel exclusive. The Nero drink was refreshing and the goat/sheep cheese to complement it, gives it an elevated feel. I’ll definitely return again!
Come here for a unique experience with cocktails that have a complex flavor profile. They are a little pricey but there is a true craft behind these drinks. Enter through the alleyway
This place is very intimate, only fitting about 20 or so patrons at one time. Makes for a very cool scene. Their cocktails are great, but a bit expensive.
