This is one of my favorite places in lower Manhattan. I go here all the time and have the best time. Friday nights are always super fun bartenders are so friendly and they know the regulars.  I feel safe always, no bros, no full of themselves customers. Just chill fun with booze. I always get a great martini there always wonderful, during the week it's always fun weekends of course are craziest. Summer time is always a bit quieter cuz of all are on holiday, but still fun. I usually have way more to say but this bar just needs you to go and check it out and have fun.  We will be stopping by again in a few months for a follow up and video will be posted via TikTok and Insta read more

Had an absolutely stellar experience here with bartender Doug-- he truly knows what he is doing. Kind, considerate, funny. Everything a bartender should be. We stumbled into this place to grab a drink and watch some of the Olympics and ended up staying here for hours! Time flew by because we were having so much fun. The vibe in Lucky Jack's is immaculate as well. Super cool lighting and lots of seating. Must visit if you're looking for a plain good bar! read more

Cool dive(ish) bar and surprisingly spacious with a basement for events and comedy shows! Solid beer selection but would say cocktails are actually where it's at. Well made and reasonably priced. Would definitely return! read more

Lucky Jack's was a fun place to stop in for a drink. I stopped in a few minutes before they closed, so I can't really provide too much detail about the restaurant as a whole, but from the little bit I did see of it, I was very impressed. The staff was nice, the inside of the bar was cool, and I loved the disco ball! Lol. Would recommend! read more

I remember seeing the neon "bar" sign outside. They were open really late. I must have had a couple beers here. They had 2 full bars, but only one was being used. I don't remember them being a music venue, but I guess I did snap a couple photos! They accept credit cards and they have bathrooms in the back. There is also a bathroom in the front. read more

I think this is the first yelp review I've ever left but I had to. Hudson is the fuckin shit. Would 10/10 come back strictly for him. Love that guy, great music and unreal ambiance. Cannot stress enough how cool Hudson and the other bartenders were read more

I had another successful party at Lucky Jack's! We all had a great time! Zac was very helpful, professional and kind! The bartenders were very good and they all had a very nice personality! What a fun time! I am looking forward to hosting another party in the future! I highly recommend Lucky Jack's! read more

The bartender's nice enough. We dipped in here on a Sunday afternoon when the Market on Delancey felt claustrophobic. Got a gin and tonic with the well gin and appreciate that their straws are compostable. Most of the other patrons (the loud ones on a game day thus they felt like "most of") were regulars, and there was only one woman who stared at my partner impolitely. read more

Great spot with great service. So glad we stumbled on this gem yesterday afternoon !!

Awesome beer bar and whiskey bar. Stopped in on a Saturday to catch a basketball game. Staff kindly accommodated my TV channel request. Initially had a beer but quickly switched over to whiskeys. About a dozen local craft beers on draft. I remember them having Bronx Brewery and KCBC amongst others. Superb selection of whiskeys. I had the Michter's Toasted Bourbon and one of the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof picks. Lots of allocated options here. Bartender was super patient and attentive. I believe there were two gender neutral restrooms. read more

Nice place to spend evening with your friends. It's not so loud. There are two bars, TVs, in every corner. A lot of booze. Service is fine. I don't know their menu. I didn't order anything, but it should be something. read more

Yo. This place is the epitome of average. But a regular staple in our drinking joints. We've been coming here for what...probably five years? It's a great end of the night place. The bartenders are mostly attentive and the clientele isn't too annoying. They've raised prices during Covid. But who can blame them. I wouldn't go out of my way to spend the night here. Good place to meet up and then move. Or good place to end. They do have a secret bathroom in the back of the bar. Good way to avoid the long lines in front. Usually filled with people doing coke or couples being silly. It's kind of a hot mess, but whatever. read more

Ok. This place is amazing. First off, if you are going to Russ & Daughters next door for breakfast, just go ahead and place your order for your sandwich and then sidle up to the bar (or the new outside dining spaces NYC is doing) and grab yourself a breakfast cocktail. Particularly, the Nitro Cold Brew Irish Coffee and the Tuscan Rickey are delicious. And cocktails in NYC that aren't $18+? Sold. Let's also talk about our bartender, Bronson. The best kind of character. Cool, full of great stories, personable, and been working here for over five years. Which is pretty wild for NYC bartenders. No idea why this place only has 3.5 stars as of this setting, because this is a great experience. read more

Ugh! I hate writing bad reviews but I feel the need to warn. We loved the vibe, the bartenders, the music everything - except that they upsold us from beer to a pitcher of their specialty cocktail (which there's no shame in up selling, that's fine!!). The problem was there was definitely little to no booze in the whole pitcher of what turned out to be Arnold Palmer. We were really disappointed that they would recommend it, AND the waiter we had said they had sold over 75 pitchers that day. To me that screams ripoff, and I walked out feeling pretty mislead. Ultimately, I would recommend going with a beer or shot, something that can't be diluted. But I personally, will not be returning. read more

Lucky's Jack in NYC is a chill ass bar which cool ass bartenders. If you are waiting for Russ and Daughters, do yourself the favor and come here for a quick drink. My friend and I came here to have a quick drink before we went to Russ and Daughters Café next door for lunch and had a wonderful time! We walked in and were greeted right away; instantly felt a homey and cozy vibe feel once we walked in. We sat at the bar and admired the décor and design in the bar. There is also more seating in the back. The bartender was chill and gave us a drink menu to look over. We ordered simple drinks and enjoyed our time people watching. Everyone was very friendly here and the service was great. My drink was delicious and stiff, just the way I like it. You will see many locals that come here to enjoy their evening here. They have everything from cocktails, beers on draft, Scotch, Irish, American, and Bourbon, as well as regional brews. They have TVs around the bar for patrons! Also, they allow you to bring food inside. If you are interested in hosting a party or a graduation party, this is the perfect place to do it! Make sure you ask about their private lounge! This is a great place to just stop in when you need a little "pick-me-up"! read more

My wife and I stopped in today. She asked for an Irish coffee. The female bartender told us that they didn't make that. She then said they had "cold brewed coffee", and my wife, not knowing any better, said she'd try that. It turned out to be cold black coffee. She asked for cream. They didn't have that either, so she couldn't drink it. I ordered a bottle of Bud. The bartender had a nasty attitude so I put a twenty on the bar and said we were done. I got $1 as change. I asked why we were being charged that for a bottle of Budweiser. I was told that my wife "couldn't return a cocktail." I left $1 as a tip. Never, ever again. There is nothing Irish about this place and the female bartender was as nasty as they come. read more

The bartender pressed me for tips. He ignored me at first too and got nasty with me when I didn't want to tip. The place smells and the environment sucks. Don't go here, there's plenty of better bars in the area. read more

yay ! I am a fan! My cousin recommended this bar and service was great aka Chris the bartender. I order one of the special "Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade" good and strong! Must try :) read more

The bartender in the back section of the bar could barely step away from a conversation/ personalized palm reading for a second to do their actual job and serve patrons. read more

WORST BAR I'VE EVER BEEN TOO. We visited from California and had a New Yorker show us around. Note we're all Asian. We showed them our ID's and the bartender singled out the only New Yorker, and singled him out for his REAL ID. Mind you our friend LIVES in New York, yet they assumed that his ID was fake. They even swiped his ID and they said it went through, but the bartender claimed that there are swipeable fakes. Our New Yorker friend was even willing to show the bartender their passport card, but the bartenders turned us away explicitly because we were the only group of Asians in a densely populated white bar. I advise against going to this establishment especially if you are Asian, because they will discriminate against you. read more

Lucky Jack's is a solid LES choice for any weeknight. The bar has a homey feel and the brick is cozy. There is never too many people here during the week, which allows good conversation and I never feel like I'm screaming over loud music. I enjoy standing or sitting on a stool near the window- which you can open and people watching. The bartenders have always been very attentive and nice. I've gotten a few of the cocktails. The Blueberry bourbon lemonade is my favorite. Nothing too wild as far as cocktail selection. I mostly come here for the low-key neighboorhood vibe. (Keep in mind I've never been here on a Friday or Saturday night.) I also recommend their free comedy shows downstairs- I want to say it happens on Wednesdays, but I could be wrong. I've seen some really great shows, and ones that needed a bit more practice, but hey- that's the beauty of free comedy- you never know what you are going to get. 4/5 read more

Had a horrible experience here last Saturday afternoon. It was my first visit, and the place was relatively quiet. The bartender on duty was a beast of a woman, possibly a man, and was thoroughly and utterly nasty and unpleasant. Not sure why the owners of this bar would hire such a horrible person to interact with the public. With so many other bars out there, you might want to take a pass on this one. read more

While waiting for our table to be ready at Russ and daughters, we stumbled into Lucky Jack's (right next door). We had the blueberry bourbon lemonade and it was delicious ($10). Nice little neighborhood-y place and I do plan to come back during our trip read more

Go to neighborhood bar. Can be both a chill vibe and a packed house depending on the time of day

The person with the glasses is cute :) so good and sassy. And the guy with the fun accent - love him! Knowledgeable and good drinks. Great Guinness pours read more

Great place, definitely no pool table tho. This one bartender was very great too, very nice

Jack sure is lucky because this place should've gone out of business. I went to Lucky Jack's on a Saturday night around 10pm. It was moderately busy, and there was plenty of room to move around. The music was subpar. I think the DJ compiled a list of songs that your parents thought were "hip" and then he/she played the worst parts of each song. Service at both the upstairs and downstairs bars was horrendous. I ordered a margarita (downstairs) and was simply told "no" before the bartender turned to the person next to me and took her order. I went upstairs and stood at the bar. I patiently waited for the bartender to finish serving a couple at the end of the bar. He walked over, I ordered a cocktail off the menu, and he walked away without acknowledging my order and proceeded to serve a group further down the bar. I guess my money has no place at Lucky Jack's. read more

Really enjoyable atmosphere and drinks, and very kind owners and bartender in this otherwise unassuming, overlooked bar.

This bar is da bomb! We went here as we waited for our table to be ready at Russ and Daughters cafe next door. Bronson was attentive and plays the best tunes, we could have stayed there all day! Favorite bar in the city! Thank you! read more

There are no shortage of bars in Lower East Side, and some are more tolerable than others. Lucky Jack's seems to be a place that's low key and easy, which is right up my alley. I popped in for a quick drink before dinner at Sauce down the way. A Friday night at 8:30 was easy enough to grab a seat at the bar, was served fast, and didn't have to step over loud drunk people en route to the bar. No idea if it gets crackin' later in the night, but for the early part of the evening, it was a nice alternative to some of the louder spots in the surrounding area. I know they do concerts and comedy nights, so I imagine it gets a bit more wild than the night I was there. But for a first encounter, a pretty great time. read more

Get shots here. Whiskey shots. The bartenders know their stuff, and the selection is fantastic. Dark, intimate decor with exposed brick walls is very conducive to date nights or girls nights. read more

This is a yelp find for me! Went for a comedy show that was listed under events. Cool bar, Its like....long......lol Huge bar, TV's, a few high tables off to the side. Pin up art on the walls, which you already know.....I LOVE! Comedy show was downstairs, in kind of like a "basement" type room with a small bar. Plenty of chairs for a not so big space. We were late, so up to the empty second row we go....lol We saw "is that you Gandhi?", great comedy show! Good drinks, average price 10 or 11 bucks. Bartender was friendly. This is a pretty cool spot, would def come back! read more

Really love this place. Can't believe I've never been here till now. I'm on Orchard at least twice a week and I've never been in here; I really regret that. There's no lack of places to have a drink in this area--Pianos, Hair of the Dog, Arlene's Grocery, etc. Lucky Jack's feels special though from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. LJ's has an old school brick and wood feel to it. Right away you'll notice the awesome curved bar. Yes even the bar-top has personality here. Behind the bar you'll note plenty bottles of good bourbon, scotch, and whiskey. I noticed a bottle of Weller 12--mmmmmmmm. LJ's certainly lives up to being a whiskey and beer bar. I came here for a book launch event, which was held in the basement. Not sure if the basement is open on the regular, but it's a really great awesome event space. It's spacious for about 100 people (guesstimating here) and has it's own bar. While here I enjoyed a good beer and also had an Old Fashioned. Both were excellent. I hate a bad Old Fashioned, but this was pretty good. Go to Lucky Jack's if you want a bar with personality, if you want a good beer, if you want some good whiskey, or if you want a good event space. read more

I came to this place for the Wednesday comedy night, which is held in a small room downstairs. The comedians are funny enough and the cosy atmosphere seems ideal for such an event. Just wish they served drinks downstairs though. They also have a shuffleboard in the back - I have been seeing this more and more and am glad the trend is catching on. read more

Just recently moved to the hood and discovered this gem Cool place, great bartenders nestled off the beat n path of LES. Love this place

Came here for pride weekend and had my birthday in their downstairs lounge. The lounge is pretty big and holds a lot of people! Great spot to host an event. It was easy to reserve a table downstairs, free of charge. However, yelp says you get a champagne bottle if you make a birthday reservation but that isn't true. (Waiting on my champagne) The bartender at the lounge was pretty cool, upstairs they have like 2 different bars one that serves frozen margaritas which are delicious. They had a live DJ on Saturday, but I was disappointed because the music was alright but it didn't make you want to get up and dance. I didn't hear any current music, it was more like old school hits. The bar wasn't crowded at all, which was surprising because I figured people wanted to go out for pride weekend. read more
