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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

Pro tip: go in the evening when the city lights are just starting to glow you'll get the best of both the sunset and the night skyline.

Awesome view, great drinks, good service and and an overall really cool, laid back vibe! In an area…read moreof Chinatown that is stays pretty crowded, this felt like a hidden gem.

Serious attitude here. The cocktails were very tasty but the service and vibe were so off-putting,…read moreI will never go back. I made a reservation in person more than 24 hours in advance. I wanted to treat an old friend to a quick birthday toast before a show she was attending nearby. Later that night, another friend became available to join but, because they do not actually have a phone that takes calls (only offers an announcement to go to Resy or email) adding another person was not at all easy. I would have had to cancel and rebook and wasn't sure I'd be able to (reservation was for a Saturday night) In most places, a table for 3 easily accommodates 4. But not here. When two of us arrived, they made it clear this was a big problem. I would have walked out right then but I would have been charged $90! We decided to stay and make the best of it, which was a challenge. For a speakeasy, the vibe was aggressive, not relaxing. Very loud music and not great acoustics.) Too cramped to be comfortable, proving that small does not necessarily mean cozy! We asked if we could take a chair from the table next to us, which was empty (it was only 6 pm; I told our server we'd be gone by 7 because my friend, the birthday girl, had to catch a show.) We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily. Then he had the gail to hand me the bill with a 22% tip pre-selected...and watched over me while I signed it! Definitely the least satisfying $100 I have ever spent. Disappointing. It was good to see my friends, but I so wish I hadn't picked this place. Never again.

My friends and I popped into Osamil Upstairs (via the restaurant below) for cocktails -- and wow:…read moreit lived up to the hype. The moment you walk up those stairs, the whole mood changes. Dim lighting, plush seating, rich wood + wallpaper details, and that lounge-library vibe make the place feel like a secret hideout right in the middle of Midtown. It's moody, cozy, and effortlessly intimate -- perfect for a date night, a chill catch-up, or just a night out with good drinks. Nice service, too! However: be ready for the price tag. The cocktails are absolutely beautiful -- well crafted, creative, and flavorful -- but each one will remind you that you're not exactly paying dive-bar prices. It's worthwhile, but the "overpriced drinks" vibe absolutely hits. That said: the interior design and ambience are amazing. The mix of antique-meets-modern decor, low lighting, and comfy couches gives you that classic speakeasy romance. If you appreciate aesthetics and vibe over cheap drinks -- this is your spot. If you want a night out that feels deliberate and special rather than casual and cheap -- Osamil Upstairs delivers.

Since it was right next to where I was leaving my friends, I decided to see if I could get a seat at the bar without a reservation. I checked in with the host and she said they had room. So no rezzie needed that night when solo. The bar area is very dark and intimate. I only had time for one drink and decided on the one above. It was nicely balanced. I'm a whisky girl, especially rye, so I enjoyed sipping on this. A nice stop on the way to diner. I was here years ago, but that experience is a little hazy. Glad I was able to revisit. REVIEW #4002
