I asked my friends to join me here on my birthday for girls night. I am very happy that I did! It was such a wonderful first experience. First, shoutout to the DJ who played 6/13/26 because she was so kind. She let me friend on stage to sing happy birthday to me. She also played great music so if anyone knows who she was, let me know! I got a delicious drink with egg white on top that I really enjoyed. I also found out you can play pool for free!? Highly recommend coming to Good Luck Lounge if you haven't before or recently! read more

Good Luck Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came by with some friends. I'd never been before and was pleasantly surprised to find that entry was free for us (though we did show up early in the night - perhaps coming by later in the evening would produce a different result). The decor is super cool and made the sitting area feel very intimate despite it being relatively open. Cocktail prices were on par for the area and they had a decent selection - I thought mine was very good, if a bit liquor forward. I will definitely be back! read more

Good Luck Lounge located on the historic Rst corridor was an absolute blast when visited recently. To be honest, I did not know of its existence but learned about after checking out a concert next door at Ace of Spades. The vibe inside gives off a sophisticated elegance that is matched with quality drinks, a live DJ spinning beats and a friendly attentive staff ready to serve. This was my 2nd visit to Good Luck Lounge and I was with a large group with a table reserved where we pre-gamed for a concert we were attending next door. I really enjoyed the chatting with the bartender. I enjoyed the layout of the bar, there was plenty of space and I felt somewhat privacy with my group at the booth we were at. I really want to go back and try the food on the menu! Make a night of your entertainment outing by checking out the delicious cocktails and atmosphere at Good Luck Lounge read more

Good Luck Lounge--- located on R street.. a must see place if you are in your 30's or older! This place is a vibe!!! The ambiance, the decor, the staff, all of it! Everything here gives everything a well oiled, vibe spot lounge would bring! It's something you would see in Vegas.. but it's here in the 916!!! Came on Valentine's Day for the live music-- and it was amazing! This is an intimate lounge that gives you immediate chills with the good music! The drinks here are amazing! I tried a few of the valentines Day drinks and none of them disappointed! They also provided the almost adorable snack tray-- with Carmel corn, conversations hearts and chocolate. All a must for Valentine's Day! The service was great and everyone was so nice!!!! I can't wait to come back to Good Luck Lounge and tell all my friends and family about it! I'm so happy to see a great spot on R street for the older crowd who actually has a 401k but wants to step out on the town!!!! read more

Rounding out my trifecta of Sacramento reviews is Good Luck Lounge. We bought lounge access as an add-on to the tickets we had for the venue next door, Ace of Spades. The lounge was a comfortable place to while away the time before our show. A singer with an amazing sultry voice covered Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, & other early 2000s R&B; I wish I would've caught her name. We didn't check out their food menu, but the drink menu was reasonably priced. Pool table, plenty of cozy seat options, clean bathrooms -- Good Luck had all the relaxing amenities, & when it came time to enter the venue, we were ushered through a secret hallway which was very cool. Worth the price of entry. read more

Pretty cool new bar connected to Ace of Spades that just opened. Inside is beautiful. Plenty of seating. Live music by a DJ. Music was 2000's hip hop and R&B, the best if you ask me. Bartender was nice and helpful. Bar food is available but kitchen was closed by the time I got there. Sliders, wings, and fries were on the menu. Definitely going to be back soon. read more

Food: 4/5 Drinks: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Seating: 5/5 Bathroom: 5/5 Good Luck Lounge just opened up this week, we decided to visit on a Saturday night. They checked our bags and ID at the door, then put on a wristband to mark 21+. It is beautifully decorated in an Art Deco vibe. There are lots of tables and seating and any section is free to take. The couches were very comfortable. The ambiance is great to hangout with friends and there's one free pool table you could use. Although, there was a DJ who was playing the music pretty loud so you do have to shout/project your voice to be heard. There are Women/Men Bathrooms. The Women's bathroom has two sinks (paper towels for drying hands) and three stalls. Personally, I don't drink alcohol often. For drinks, we ordered the Aces High which we could tell was crafted well with fresh lime juice but was not mixed well as the Tequila sat at the top. I ordered Fall From Grace which was good if you're looking for a spiced drink. For food we ordered Bar Fries with regular fries (you can choose Sweet Potato Fries) and it was delicious, would definitely order again. We also ordered The Three Street Tacos which were good but small. Overall, good food, didn't have too high expectations since it is a Bar Lounge. The customer service was fantastic. When we first entered, we were greeted by Aiyanni who let us know how the layout works and was very attentive and answered all our questions. Our server took our order and delivered our food/drinks in a timely order and was very nice. Overall, a great place to hangout with friends and order drinks. read more

Not sure why it took me so long to pay a night capper visit to Good Luck Lounge. Hummmm, maybe because I have a toddler at home haha but anyway I'm so glad that I was able to recently visit during a Galentine's Girls Night Out! GLL is located directly adjacent to Ace of Spaces. On this particular night Bone Thungs were performing which was super cool. Getting into GLL was easy, loved the no wait and the security guards outside were welcoming and I felt safe with how thorough they performed security checks on everyone coming in. The space is really fun, after walking up to the second floor the lounge is so open. With its warm, intimate lighting it really makes you wanna grab a drink, chill and listen to good music. Dj InkFat (who you should follow on IG, right now!) was spinning super fun throwbacks, the vibes were definitely vibing! Judy, the general manager who is super personable and sweet - was able to get my friends and I, a booth near the DJ so everything was perfect. I would recommend this spot for a potential date night spot, birthday or for your next GNO! read more

This place a great place to stop in and listen to some live music and enjoy a few drinks. It's decorated Elegantly. The vibes there is always chill and always fun. They have a pool table that is free to play and makes it nice to enjoy. There are a few tables and the service is always quick and great. I always have a great time when I come here. read more

My wife and I decided to hit Good Luck Lounge on our date night adventure. This place is NICE! A great addition to R street district.! It's located between Ace of Spades and Cafe Bernardo. Once you see the airport like security you found it. Haha before you entered you have to walk through a metal detector, have a thorough bag inspection performed and endure an airport like pat down. After, you pass all the security measures, they tie a wristband on your wrist and then you are welcomed in. THERE WAS NO COVER! Yes NO COVER! You can either choose to take the stair or the elevator. My wife elected to take the elevator. The lounge is an open concept with the Dj and bar on opposite sides of the room. Behind the Dj booth is a pool table and Photo Booth. The Dj was playing good music. The staff shared the music is hit or missed just depends on the Dj. This place has great vibe seating. They have a few couches, lounge areas, barstool seating and standing tables. Perfect spot for a group of friends, date night or just out with coworkers. The service is good. The waiters could be seen dancing and enjoy the vibes. The drinks weren't strong. Definitely could use a bit more alcohol. Lol My wife and I had a good time. We will definitely be back. read more

Perfect place to have a drink! We went before a show at Ace of Spades on Valentine's Day. Dimly lit and cozy seating. What a treat to have some live music as well, the lovely Lizzy Paris a treat to hear. read more

Went in on a Saturday night around 9pm but got really full by 10:30pm. The place is great, has a really nice dark vibe and the dj that night had some good music, lots of 2000 hits. Besides the drinks being pretty pricey, they were both really good. The sweet potato fries we ordered were super crunchy and had a nice cheese sauce which we really enjoyed. Our server was over the top! Wish I would've caught her name but she was super friendly and constantly checked on us. They did have a pool table, but we didn't get a chance to play as there was groups of people waiting. A lot of the lounge seating is also reserved, but it was a great date night spot for a some drinks. Will be back! read more

The service, the ambiance, drinks and food were fabulous. Cannot recommend this place enough. Delicious cocktails and very chill atmosphere.

DJ was pretty good. If you're not going to attend a show there then it's a great place to sit with some friends

tl;dr: sheeeeeeeesh, it's the IKEA of lounges. Looks like luxury, feels like liquidation. A $20 cocktail at a lounge isn't crazy. A $20 cocktail in a plastic whiskey 'glass' at a lounge is crazy. A $20 cocktail plastic coupe is crazy. A $20 cocktail in a plastic highball 'glass' is crazy. A $20 cocktail, while sitting on a firm pleather chair, that's lighter than the plastic 'glass' in your hand, feels like getting told 'Yeah, we know you'll only be here once and we don't care'. If this place was not attached to Ace, I can't imagine it would be open very long anywhere else in Sacramento. We tried the One-Eyed Jacks, Pocket Kings, Dead Man's Hand, Gold Rush, and Fall From Grace; they were all okay. The Gold Rush was probably the most balanced and easiest on the palette, the rest were unremarkable but not bad in any way. When I got to the lounge, my friends were already inside. There was a line of roughly 15 people, and when I got inside, I was a tad shocked to see it mostly empty for how long the short line took. When I was on my way up the stairs, a few people that I saw walk in were already on their way out. The design of this place is neat, it does look like a higher-end lounge, but as soon as you sit down or touch literally any surface, you immediately know it was put together as cheaply as possible. Both chairs at our booth were wobbly, the seams on the booth were already fraying, the curtain to the booth felt like it was attached with metal shower rings. The vibe was kind of awkward, there was a DJ lost in his own hype in front of a sea of open tables and no one dancing. I see the appeal of coming here pre/post-show but I can't imagine I'd go back here otherwise. Credit where credit is due, the service was pretty quick once we ordered and the staff were all friendly. Thats it. That's the credit. Do yourself a favor and skip this place, walk a few doors down to Shady or across the street to Snug, save $5 and get a real cocktail in a real glass. Good luck, lounge, you'll need it. read more

Good Luck Lounge just opened in Sac and I got to spend time with my girlie! The lounge was very cute, I loved the aesthetic, though I wish I took more pics! They have a live DJ and a cool pool table. The drinks were overpriced in my opinion but nonetheless, still a solid spot that I will try again! read more

We live nearby and decided to drop by to see the new bar lounge. The crowd was diverse, you got a mix of old and young people. The DJ was feeling himself way too much for such a terrible set, but there were some people dancing so we must've not had enough to drink. Speaking of drinks, a cocktail will cost you $20 and during our 1 hour there, THREE people came up to the bar to complain about the portion or how bad the drinks taste. We can attest to that. $43 dollars for 2 drinks and we had to force ourselves to down our hard earn dollars for badly crafted, way too sweet drinks. If you're in the Midtown area and want to go somewhere with great ambience, this will be a place to try until you'll soon realize that you're paying too much for vibes. read more

Me and my friend ordered a few drinks here and some food. Service was attentive to our needs and Julio, our bartender, was amazing. The ambiance is good for socialising and it was a great space to decompress after a workday. There is space to listen to music and there was a live dj. Decor is very warm and inviting. I appreciate that they they had a pool table and clean bathrooms, couldn't ask for more out of an establishment. Thank you ! read more

Let's start with the positives. Decor is cool. Getting early access to the concert is amazing. The negatives. I've been here 4 times. Every time it's the same story. Bar is slow. Kitchen is reallly slow. They are woefully understaffed. One server and one bartender working their butts off. But they can't circle back in a timely fashion. And for the love of God bring silverware and napkins with food. That's preposterous that's not a given. I shouldn't have to track you down and beg you for some. Needs a competent manager and more staff and they will make twice the money with happier customers. Would never come back other than the early access. Please fix these problems so it will be a fun vibe! read more

Review is for the food and service only - not good. Mac N cheese . Tacos, three tiny slivers of what they said is chicken with a bunch of over by finely shredded "stuff". Just not good......even the fries - cold. 35 minutes to get a drink. read more

We had such an amazing time at Good Luck Lounge for my birthday! The staff was incredibly accommodating, and the vibe was everything. Honestly, I don't understand why this place isn't packed every night--it's a hidden gem. The bar is top-tier, the service is always on point, and the DJs never miss. From the pool table to the aesthetics to the overall ambience--it's just a beautiful space to unwind. If you haven't been yet, make it your next spot and bring a friend. It's located right next door to Ace of Spades, which makes it the perfect place to hang out before or after a concert. If I may suggest to the owner, consider adding themed nights to the lineup--like Reggae or Dancehall Night, Afrobeats Night, Spoken Word Night or even an Oldies but Goodies vibe. It could really help bring in different crowds and build some steady traction. Also, investing in Facebook and Instagram marketing would go a long way. A lot of people I've spoken to have never heard of Good Luck Lounge or thought it was closed, possibly because of its previous location. This spot deserves more attention--it's truly a gem! The crowd is multicultural, spans all age groups, and the energy is always good--no drama, just vibes. Good Luck Lounge definitely gets five stars from me! Thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience. My birthday this past Saturday was perfect because of you all! read more

1 out of 5 stars Disrespectful and Ableist Treatment of My Cousin with Polio - Deeply Disappointed We came to Good Luck Tavern on Saturday, June 15, 2025, after an incredible night at Ace of Spades seeing Joe Kay. What was supposed to be a fun continuation of the evening turned into a deeply upsetting experience because of how the staff treated my cousin--who lives with polio and uses accessible seating. When we entered, she was given a yellow wristband (typically used to indicate drink privileges or VIP status), and we were escorted to ADA seating. Everything seemed smooth at first. But minutes later, a female staff member came over and, without asking a single question or offering any discretion, cut off my cousin's wristband, stating she was "too intoxicated" to continue. The employee indicated that she was too intoxicated because of the way she was walking and all of that is due to her polio. This is the problem: My cousin was not drunk. She has visible signs of polio, including balance and mobility challenges--but she was completely coherent, calm, and enjoying her evening. The assumption that her disability meant she was intoxicated was not only inaccurate, it was discriminatory and humiliating. The staff member never took a moment to understand or ask what was actually going on before publicly stripping away her ability to participate like everyone else. When we confronted management, a female manager acknowledged that the situation had been mishandled and apologized profusely, admitting the staff member was wrong. While we appreciated the apology, the damage was already done: my cousin felt shamed and excluded in front of a crowd, and nothing tangible was offered to correct the harm--no replacement wristband, no real effort to make her feel welcome again. This is ableism--plain and simple. Here's what Good Luck Tavern needs to do:    *   Provide proper disability and ADA training to all staff--especially in recognizing and respectfully interacting with guests who have visible or invisible disabilities.    *   Never revoke someone's access without genuine communication, understanding, and compassion.    *   Create policies that ensure dignity, not assumptions. We left deeply disappointed, and honestly hurt for my cousin, who deserved better. Until serious changes are made, I cannot recommend this place to anyone--especially those in the disabled community. read more

This is specifically a rating for the pre-concert access. We sat down at a table and were told a server would be with us shortly. We waited for 40 minutes giving friendly waves and attempting to make eye contact with the many servers walking past. We were completely stonewalled. I've never been ignored like that. Finally a bartender took pity on us and placed a food order and brought it out. When it's understood that you're there for a concert there should be considerably more emphasis on timely service, particularly for such overpriced food. Gave one star for the amazing bartender whose name I have unfortunately forgotten but he saved our evening. read more

Super nice lounge! It's connected to Ace of Spades which is awesome, did want to clarify that you can't sit and watch the show from here, but it has a nice bar and bathrooms to go to between sets. I think it's totally worth the upgrade. (: read more

New bar / lounge on R Street. Only been open a couple weeks now and its really nice. Pleasant relaxing interior with the vibes to match. We had an amerreto sour and one eyed jacks. The sour was tasty and sweet while the jacks was strong but still had a good flavor. Our server was nice and attentive. It did take a bit but it was a busy friday night so understandable. Live dj, pool table, and a bar. Thats all you need. read more
