    This place is awesome if you're looking for a quick spot to get a cocktail. I came in during a happy hour and my wine was five dollars. We had the best Bartender. Abbey was incredible. She recommended so many activities. She was such a doll. Great service

    Lucky is a new bar in the East Village owned by a bartender who has been at it for years and it shows! I was part of an event that was being held here and definitely enjoyed the vibe that was going on. Abby the owner/bartender is engaging and friendly and knows how to pour a good drink. Cara too is just as awesome. The bar area and outdoor patio was clean as well as the bathroom which seems to be something people mention when reviewing this place. The bar itself was decorated nicely and kept dimly lit. One major plus here is their awesome jukebox. The jukebox here has mixes from various famous NYC bars Abby has tended and has a little bit of everything ranging from punk to alternative and everything in between. One thing that will bring me back for sure is the non pretentious attitude here. Nothings worse than a bar that treats you as if you don't belong there. Not here. You feel welcomed as if youve been a long time friend. I'd recommend this place and suggest you stop by.

    Came here during Santacon, since we were pretty much over the long lines and abundance of drunk Santa's and I have to say that it was the best choice we made all day. A quaint lil gem in the East Village where a lot of the locals go. A little dark, a little grimy but all the New York feels, nothing frou-frou about it. I love this place because it isn't super packed and the prices are super affordable compared to the surrounding bars around the area. The bartender Abby is on point, and let's you know exactly how it is which I had really appreciated. She always made sure we always had a drink in our hands. If you are ever in the East Village of New York you must come out to this place and support the local business.

    Not much has changed. New neon sign makes it easier to find. Some snack foods available. A G&T was $11 using Bombay gin which I thought was a little high.

    The service was great! The mustard on those free dogs is amazing! You gotta have at least one with your so cheap drink!

It's a classic after-work watering hole for the finance workers, consultants, and attorneys who populate the area. The decor is awesome, and makes you feel fuzzy and at home!!! But let's talk about the real star of the show: the burger. I've had my fair share of burgers in NYC, but this one takes the cake. The patty is juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside. The bun is soft and pillowy, holding everything together without getting soggy. And the bacon is mmm mmmmmmm PERFECT!!! Trust me when I say it's worth braving the sea of suits just to get your hands on one of these bad boys. So if you find yourself in Chinatown after work or on a weekend night out with friends (or even alone), do yourself a favor and stop by Whiskey Tavern for some great drinks (not watered down!) and an unforgettable burger experience. You won't regret it! But the REAL reason this place is so special is the PEOPLE. This place is like the bar from that show "Cheers", but in 2026! Just the most amazing people Ever running the show. Their professionalism and personalities make the food and drinks that much more deliciousSometimes you wana go, where everybody knows your naaammmmeee.....sometimes you wana go to WHISKEY TAVERN!!!!!!!!

Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!
