You need luck? You need liquor? Candy"s dandy, but Lucky Liquor"s quicker!!! And more cool!!! Real cool, but not for the average hipster who doesn't yet know who they are. This is a real punk rock bar, with real punk rock line ups and real punk rock pit dancing and pinball and black velvet paintings and stiff drinks and great staff and great bar food, including Wednesday night prime rib (call in your reservation) and a movie, followed by a midweek punk gig! All ages too on the "young punks" side of the line. Lucky Liquor is worth coming out for! Love! Love! Love! Lucky Liquor!!! read more

This is a hidden gem. Stopped in early on a Thursday night. Wasn't busy at all. We stopped in to grab a quick bite on our way to a concert. This is a dark, dive bar through and through. The person who took our order from behind the bar didn't really acknowledge she got out order at first, so not the super friendliest service. We ordered some burgers and fries! They were good tavern burgers, and the fries... we literally saw the cook pull the bag of potatoes out. So yes, they are fresh made fries and they were so freaking good. This is a nice little local spot, not a lot of parking, but a great little bar to grab a burger and a drink. read more

Sound guy has no idea what he's doing, not a single sound check the whole show, bartender was cool. We played a show and they refused to pay anyone in the bands, monitors don't work and they were extremely disrespectful to everyone in all of the bands. Comes off as a dive bar but is their just cheap assholes. Food was inedible and the beer was overpriced grilled cheese good tho read more

Got the lucky deluxe and no problems there the food its good service is good aswell pretty attentive although not very busy., only one problem. On the menu it mentions that the prices reflect a 3.99% cash discount. Although they charged me 14$ for my 12$ burger which would be not 3.99% but closer to 16.99% which is not correct. Also this was before tax. read more

We saw a show here recently and the burgers were SO good! We were very surprised because we expected them to be just ok considering it's a bar. Now we are going to keep an eye out for more shows at this place. read more

The food at this place is pretty decent. I'm vegetarian, so I ordered the vegan hot dog which came with a side of chips. The chips were so good! They felt very light and perfectly seasoned. The vegan hot dog also had a good amount of mustard and onions. I also ordered the jalapeño poppers, which were piping hot so be careful and take care that they've cooled down sufficiently. Ask for the ranch if you can! Great place to listen to live music and bask in the dive atmosphere. read more

bartending was great, food was great. if you're in a band do yourself a favor and don't play here. if you want to stop in for a quick drink? great spot. other than that don't bother. read more

Awesome spot. Walked into Lorettas in South Park and the hipster vibes were way too thick- heard they had good burgers but the Flamin Bleu burger here at Lucky Liquor was SO GOOD. No regrets. I ordered one with hubs to split- we decided we needed to order a second. Super dang delish. Had a good conversation with an older fella while the band set up. Lucky Liquor is no frills, good food and beer, I'd assume stiff drinks too. I had the Lucky Wit beer and it was so citrusy and refreshing. A++ bar, i love this spot. read more

Tall front door man called me multiple inappropriate names and threatened me, all because I tried to go outside and re enter as an underage person. He threatened me, belittled me, and made me feel insignificant. I told him to chill out because he acted like he was going to assault me, and it set him off into a fit of anger. He said he makes the rules and that I am a b****, along with suggesting multiple times we would- "hurt me and I couldn't do anything about it". I highly suggest removing said person from your staff, as I have had multiple people tell me they too feel threatened by this man. Thanks. read more

This might be the only affordable cool dive bar left in Seattle. I stopped in for a quick drink on my way into the city and I am glad I did. I'll be back! Really nice bartender too. You have to order at the bar tho in case you are wondering why no one has come to your table. read more

If you like working class dives, this is your huckleberry. Reasonably priced drinks, simple, solid chow. Cool old R&B and rock dominate during boozy weekend brunches and weekday happy hours, and harder stuff nightly. There are special events and live music too, despite the small space. Get bored? There's pinball. The service is decidedly unprofessional- and that's not necessarily a bad thing. You're treated like a friend at a backyard barbecue here. Informal, unhurried, the servers and bartenders usually wear their mood on their sleeve, talk to you like a neighbor, Beer selection is small but diverse, and somehow there's always something I like. Booze range is very limited. You will not find the latest foofoo martini of the month here, or an artisan cocktail list inviting you to spend $20 on some clown car of exotic poisons you'll never remember the flavor of anyway. This place is what it should be, where it should be, when it should be. I dig it! read more

In the past six years I have passed Lucky Liquor on my way to work and would glance at it filled with uncertainty. Then one day I decided to go and since I have been back several times. It is a small dive bar and it is very much a dive bar but in the best of fantastic ways. It is the bar that you go to without any judgement, where people greet you enthusiatically, and the decor is fun and unpretentious. The lighting is low, the music can be loud, they show films from time to time, and there are pinball machines along the wall. It is comfortable. The drinks were super good - stiff without feeling too slap across the face stiff - and the food is great - simple, fun, great bar food. The bartenders here have always been very friendly and accommodating. If it isn't too busy they'll step out from behind the bar to offer a refill. If it is busy then it is understandable that they aren't able to do that as frequently. The crowd is fun. I'm not sure about its status. I don't know if it is hanging by a thread or just choosing to remain a little beat down to keep the ambiance. I know, though, that it is fun, friendly, with good people and great drinks. read more

We stopped in here for a quick bite before visiting the Boeing Museum of Flight and it is definitely a cute little dive bar. My friend said it so well, whatever one could want in a dive bar, they deliver on. Interesting things to look at all over the walls? Check. Old skool arcade games? Got um. Slightly seedy feel? Oh Yaaah. Everything on the menu fried? Fried and fried again just to be sure. There is plenty of seating and also a stage for performances. We ordered at the bar and while the only thing I could have on that menu was the lemonade due to all the gluten, the husband was nursing a hangover and not about to pass up a greasy deliciously plump grilled cheese and fries. My friends felt similar and shared a chicken tenders meal. Everyone said the food was good. So even though I couldn't sample anything on the menu, I wouldn't really expect to at most bars. The service was friendly and quick and the prices were very affordable. That and the proximity to the museum allowing us to catch a drink and snack before the day was perfect. If you're looking for a good dive bar you've found a contender. read more

The quintessential local dive bar!!! Friendly staff, friendly patrons, epic dive bar environment, great drinks and epic food!! The Lucky Burger is delicious, bacon, onion rings, Swiss cheese, tasty perfectly cooked burger and the bbq sauce is tangy and delicious!! The onion rings are absolutely perfect. I will become a regular here. It's that great!! read more

Super divey, good drinks, Ranier cans, great food. Ordered a Lucks Deluxe (take on the Dicks Deluxe) and fries, but due to the noise level at 9:30 on a Saturday night punk show, I got the Lucky Burger (BBQ, bacon, onion rings) and fries. I'm not even mad about it. Great burger, not too greasy and stellar fries. Needs a fry sauce. Super friendly bartender and cook, guy at the door also running sound was nice. Bring quarters for the pinball machines. Couldn't get the actual boxes to take my 5er and there are confusing notes taped to the change machine that indicate it doesn't work. Maybe? Service charge waived if you pay cash. read more

It's a DIVE bar, not a hipster hangout. If you complain that drinks are too strong, you're an idiot. It's done right, service is good, bar food is solid and fresh, dimly lit, good tunes, etc--honestly, I don't know what more you expect. read more

My favourite dive bar. They know my favourite beer and what I love to eat. I always feel at home and safe here. Plus it's down the street from my work so even better. read more

Very relaxed atmosphere, 4 pinball machines, delicious beer on tap. Drink specials & yummy food. Live music almost every night. Friendly staff. Love the penny-covered bar top. Something everyone pins on Pinterest, but they actually did it and it looks beautiful! Ask the bartender his favorite beer on tap or for a special treat get the 18 year scotch! read more

My bf and I were here recently to see our friends' band, which was awesome, of course. What we didn't expect was the above and beyond service and THE BEST BURGERS EVER! The bouncer helped us figure out parking (there was some crazy event at Boeing that day) and was really nice. I mention this because how many bouncers are REALLY NICE? I want to say approx zero, so LL really hit the jackpot. Their guy is great. Re: the food, these guys don't mess around one bit. They use grass fed beef in their burgers and offer gluten free buns if you need them - my gluten-sensitive-but-not-Celiac bf was in heaven. One of the cooks came out to answer my questions, which were probably really annoying (as are my bf's myriad food sensitivities - let's be honest), and she was very understanding and informative. There are breadcrumbs in the meat patties, so not Celiac-friendly, but for someone with mild issues like my bf it was fine with a gluten free bun. They were, quite frankly, the best burgers we've had in a very long time. Thank you, Lucky Liquor - we will definitely be back! read more

We would have loved to try the food and drinks but didn't get the chance to as the moment we stepped in, there was an uncomfortable feeling as if we didn't belong. Provided we were the only minorities at the establishment and for 10 min, no one came to our group but continued to serve others at the bar table. We saw the stares coming from the staff with an annoyed look. We weren't loud and very respectable. If there was need for us to walk up to the bar table, a simple guidance would have been appreciated. Consider this a warning to others. read more

White rappers, crazy line to get a drink, cheese on my beyond burger. I'm sure this bar is for some one...it's not me.

I love places like this that seem to be hanging on by a thread and still sticking to their guns. This place is an odd addition along the water in Tukwila, standing rather alone along the road. It's a small, quite divey little venue with a lot of heart. If you want to get up close and personal with your local music, or just grab a drink from a friendly bartender, this place does it right. Bottom line: Check it out! read more

What the hell did Lucky Liquor just try to deliver to me? Burnt fries with a side of e-coli, that's what. Using UberEATS for the first time from my boyfriend's house and these guys came up. Read the reviews on both Yelp and Google thinking I did my due diligence. Jokes on me. Either I caught them on a bad night or the rest of the patrons were too drunk when eating their food. Pictures speak a thousand words. What a waste of money. read more

I love a dive bar This place is perfect for that! Bad food, but the drinks are strong. The atmosphere however.. The "performer" heckled us and another couple for being straight. We played along, but it was super awkward. And annoying. Glad there was no cover charge to get in. And the front door guy was doing drug deals in the back parking lot. Saw him while we were in the car about to leave. Not planning to go back again. read more

A minor accidentally crossed the yellow line to the bar area to ask a question and the people working here had the audacity to call this 16 year old an asshole because he made a mistake. Should not be holding all age concerts if this is how they are going to act. read more

Love this place, the perfect dive bar. Pinball machines, good music, nice people and strong drinks!

Great, honest pub not overrun with bros or poser-hipsters. Off the beaten path and easy to get to. Excellent bar food. Hella friendly staff. Drinks are stiff. Beer list sufficient and balanced. Regularly has live music which is awesome although it's never my genre of first choice. Taco Tuesday's are a good time to visit. Only downside is parking can be limited when bands play. Surpsingly very few spots to park and no street parking or parking lots in walking distance within a reasonable distance. So plan ahead. read more

I had a great time running into this place after a local guy suggested this place. At the time they were playing reggae punk night and it was pretty damn legit. Drinks was good and the pin ball machine was great, but the crowd and owner were all around friendly which I think was a highlight of the place since not a lot of local bars I visit were that friendly. Or they could just be drunk friendly.. Either way met some cool dudes. Being an LA native this is by far the funnest night of rolling solo bar hopping and not to mention outside of Seattle on a Friday night at 12AM. In addition, the location is very secluded but it was unique and authentic which I liked the most. It wasn't trying hard to be different, Fun night and fun place, definitely a must dive bar stop when I come up again to the great 'ol pacific NW. read more

Great prices, good food, pinball and PAC MAN and TETRES tables. Nice place to grab a bite and a beer. Even if you got kids, their ok to go in till 10pm. Staff is nice and it has that home feeling that a lot of seattle bars have lost while selling out to the tech wave that is overtaking the city. Nice to have a new place that isn't pushing $27 beers and tiny little dates wrapped in bacon for a change. read more

Every time we have played this venue, it has been a blast!! The staff is great!! Ample parking, back door or front door load in available depending on where you park. Sound isn't bad at all. Plenty of seating for all your friends. The food is decent priced.. It's good and they have veggie burgers and gluten free on request, so all my allergic vegan friends can eat here too. One of my new favorite places to book!! read more

Worst bar experience ever! They say you shouldn't a book by it's cover but this place is clearly the exception. It has a run down and dirty appearance that does not improve upon entering the cramped establishment. The floor was in need of a good sweeping and our table and chairs were sticky. GROSS! We had a few beers and ordered some fish and chips and burgers. Big mistake. The Fish was cold in the middle and I refused to finish it and risk possible food poisoning. My buddies burgers were raw in the middle and charred on the outside. At least the drinks were okay! The bartender seems disinterested and got annoyed when we complained about our food. Terrible service and UNSANITARY conditions make this a place we shall never visit again. read more

The best local bar I've been too...I'm lucky enough I can walk here if I wanted. The owner is super friendly, food ( fried pickles) is good and priced fair. I've only had whisky, so can't comment to the drinks. The atmosphere is awesome...dive bar, quirky, kitchsy but not over done. My new favorite bar. read more

This place has changed a ton since 2006! Change is good in this case. Really freakin good! Fun place to chill and play pinball. Food is really good.

Like most of the other reviews here, I'll applaud the food, atmosphere, and staff at this divey-yet-homey bar. I'll be honest that I work nearby and treasure this place as one of a very small number of good eateries in the area, but have never been at night, so my review is mainly about my experiences while rushing out to get a quick bite during my lunch break. For real, they have one of the best crispy chicken sandwiches I've ever eaten. I call in my order and not even 15 minutes later, the food is in my hand and I'm headed back to work. Easy, priced VERY fairly, and delicious! I'll agree that the parking lot is pretty tiny, but the owner has commented on a few other reviews with info about extra parking, especially in the evening when other spots become available. And heck, the 124 bus might be super sketchy, but it drops off right near the bar and runs pretty late into the night. Great place that I will keep visiting and keep recommending to co-workers! read more
