I love dogs and it's such a chill bar that you can hang out at a Thursday. I had a beer with someone and it was very easy to talk. I believe there's an outside area, but I did not get to check that out. I was right by the entrance. This dog in the picture I think is the owners ot bartenders because he or she did not ever leave the bar. If you love dogs, you will love this place. read more

4/5 Lucky Dog - Williamsburg's Dog-Forward Dive That Mostly Delivers Visited: September 2025 Pack Present: Maya (Queen of Composure) & River (Urban Explorer) Vibes If you love dive bars, Lucky Dog is exactly what you'd want: relaxed, graffiti-wrapped, and a little scruffy in all the right places. The back patio is where the magic happens, dogs lounging on the bricks, humans lounging over beers. It's Brooklyn-coded bliss. Dog Friendliness (Mostly) I brought two dogs, Maya and River, and while they were more than capable of handling the environment, here's the scoop: * No bowls provided, just paper cups for water. You have to grab water yourself from inside, which becomes tricky when you have more than one pup. Holding your drink + leashes + navigating back inside? Bit of a logistical nightmare. * Dogs aren't technically allowed inside the bar, so everything must happen outside -- which means: * You go in, they stay out. * You bring drinks out, they look at you like you betrayed them. * You refill water? That's a whole dance. Would love to see a self-service water station or at least a staff member offering a bowl or two during busy hours. It's not that they aren't dog-friendly, it's that the infrastructure hasn't caught up to the brand. People & Other Dogs The people were lovely. Other dogs were mostly well-behaved. No incidents, no tension. That said, you do need to stay vigilant. Dogs were off-leash at times, and while mine were comfortable, this might not be the place for someone managing a reactive or timid dog. It's not a dog park, but it's also not not a dog park. Environment * Outdoor seating is rustic and charming. * Ground is dog-safe: textured brick, not too hot. * Mural walls make for great photos if your dog will sit still (Maya did, River had priorities). * Accessibility: Watch the stairs if you're juggling multiple dogs, drinks, and dignity. Final Thoughts Lucky Dog gets a lot right. It's a bar first, dog space second. If you're confident managing your dogs, especially in the presence of others, it's a great hang. Just don't come expecting white-glove service for your four-legged guests. Bring your own bowl. Keep a leash handy. And prepare to improvise. Would I come back? Yes. With Maya, River, and one less paper cup to worry about. read more

Luckydog is everything I look for in a dive bar. Good music (even if it never comes out of the jukebox), shuffleboard and pinball in the back, a backyard for nice weather in the summer, a surprisingly long and diverse draft list, and bouncers and bartenders who remember your name. I've tried the other bars by the same owner and they're great but there's a reason Luckydog will always be my go-to. I wish there were more food partners who would deliver locally, but Mission Sandwiches complement the drinks well and you can't beat delivery down the street. I'll shout out SuperBurrito too for their proximity and quality. We've done New Year's Eve here the last two years and even though it's busy, it felt like home and the best way to ring in the New Year with fun people. read more

Way too loud for a bar that doesn't have dancing. You cannot have a conversation here. And it's all dudes

The servers at Luckydog were obnoxiously rude. With no menu on site, both bartenders were angry when we asked for drinks they didn't have on the menu. They went as far as to tell us to, "go nextdoor" if we wanted "those" kind of drinks. We wanted mixed drinks. They were busy and the line was long, but their anger shouldn't be taken out on the customers. We tried to break a $100 bill. The bartender took the $100 bill out of my friends hand (my friend is black), looked at him, gave the $100 bill back, and then told him that the bar doesn't take hundreds. Why did he take the hundred dollar bill out of my friends hand if they don't take hundreds? Why isn't there a sign that says they don't take hundreds? When my group of friends called him out for his discriminatory actions he told them not to take it, "so f'ing seriously". The margaritas were awful. Check out the cheese sandwiches they're giving out for COVID. Gross. read more

Fun and dog friendly bar. If you don't like dogs then don't come here. Luckydog is one of the best bars in Williamsburg. Happy hour is a good deal. They let dogs inside and there's another area outside. Good prices at happy hour or any hour. It feels like a dive bar plus dog park. The service is pretty spotty. It can take awhile to be acknowledged. The last time here we got served right away however. As expected, if the weather is warm, it's busy. People are more likely to be walking dogs. If you aren't with a dog, there's fun to be had at the bar. The place can get pretty crowded because there's not a whole lot of room. At happy hour they have some cheap drinks. It's about $3 for well drinks. They usually don't have food. I like it more when it's warm enough. Outdoor seating is much more comfortable than inside. The dog owners are usually friendly and the dogs are behaved most of the time. read more

Stopped by here after not being able to sneak into another lounge with the pup so we came here. It was a rough crowd and as you can see, Oso got into a bar fight immediately. We cooled off with some craft beers after he roughed up the other dude. Followed that up with some shuffleboard with our crew. It was nice and cool inside and the outdoor backyard was packed too. Overall, we'd say we had a good time. read more

When my friend call me to meet for our regular friend time, I had to come see her with my dog since I had him with me. She said, oh let's go to Lucky Dog, they allow dogs. She could not had picked a better place, I mean this friend knows just about ALL the best places to have fun. Omg! What a cool and awesome bar. As I walked in, there were a few nice friendly dog there who greeted and played with my dog. It's a heavenly place for dogs, the vibe of the place is one of a kind, super friendly. My dog was even happier than me, he was walking all over wagging his tail, I could see the happiness in his eyes. My dog made a few human friends, he was working on the girls better than any man...he left me by my chair and went to hang out with some cute girls on the other side of the bar, I saw the girls talking and petting him. He stayed there for a while hanging with the girls, good thing I am not jealous, I let him have his fun. He kept going from the girls to the other dogs to play and socialize, he showed me that he has better social skills than me, he just blended with the crowd, he felt like the king of the night, and every one who walked in the bar, greeted and pet him. The drinks were nice and affordable, not expensive like other places. For 3 beers, 1 juice and a snack the bill was 29.98. Not bad at all for a few hours of fun. The Bartenders were all nice and attentive, excellent customer service. They kept making sure that we had everything we needed as far as drinks. There is a Lovely back yard with tables. I will surely be back, it was very relaxing to find a cool spot to wind off after work with my dog and my friend. read more

Had a great time here a week or so ago and was so happy I could bring my puppers! There were also a plethora or other doggy friends he could play with which was great. What's even better is that mostly every human which enters the bar is a fellow dog lover (honestly, if you did not pet my dog when you walked in I thought you were possibly a sociopath bc WHO does not pet an adorable golden retriever puppy). The sole reason I knocked off one star is because the bartender was a bit rude and awkward. I saw her badger other people for bigger tips and constantly check receipts when folks closed their tab. Luckydog is by no means an upscale bar...its a dive establishment which barely serves food and mostly serves beer. I've never seen this type of behavior at any bar i've frequented but hey guess its her thing. To each their own, at least the patrons are good sports :) read more

Graham is the greatest bartender on the planet, and I'm not just saying that because he controls my bar tab and gave me a free sandwich. I mean it, very sincerely. You should come to this bar, unless you're an asshole... then not so much. I'd also like to make sure none of the other bartenders at Lucky take offense to my singling out Graham for special attention. Ashley, Kaylee (is that how she spells her name?), Joel, Savanah, Bryant.... shit. I'm going to have to come back and edit this review a few times. No good deed goes unpunished.

The drinks here were good. Ambiance is great. HOWEVER, I left my airpod pros here on a weekend. I tried calling multiple times and they don't answer the phone. Finally I went there to get them back because I could see them there. They said they didn't find them but would check with another bartender and he would call. No one EVER called me back and I can now see my airpods are in a landfill. Absolutely despicable service and people. I will never come here ever again. This is my first Yelp review and I am compelled to leave this here because this behavior is just absolutely horrendous. DO NOT COME HERE read more

Awesome casual DOG-FRIENDLY bar with a comfy patio in the back! The aperol spritz ($10) was bubbly and tasty, and the raspberry mint daiquiri (blended with real fruit and fresh mint, $10) was so refreshing on a hot day. Note: bring cash to save a little! There's a small fee for cards. read more

Luckydog - aperol spritz (dog not included) - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Luckydog is the perfect bar for the hipster Williamsburg crowd and beer lovers; like me. I have been a couple of times but can't say it is my favorite place yet. Yes, they have great beers, and they are super cheap, but the crowd is not for me. It can get loud, and the people that are smoking up by the front and in the backyard ruin it for me. I hate the smell of cigarettes, and it seems like a sh*tload of people smoke here. The bartenders are personable and know their stuff. Brian sticks out in my mind; he is a nice one that my sister and I chatted up one night. The bouncer by the door is excellent too. He has a good memory which is great. He looked out for me a night that I lost my debit card here. I like the concept; it is a decent looking bar. I love that people can bring their doggies along! That is my favorite thing about this place. I would come here just to pet dogs even if they weren't serving beers. I recommend this place for a hit and run. Come in, drink and then move out to the quieter, fancier places in Williamsburg. Or, come in and drink to your heart's content if you do not mind smelling like a pack of cigarettes when you leave. I get it; that might be some people's prerogative. read more

Fun place to bring you dog. My girlfriend had her dog's birthday party and the back area was perfect. There was also a dog wedding going on at the same time. They let us bring in our own food which was really nice. If you're looking for a dog friend pub, Luckydog is the place. So much fun. There was also a cool two piece band playing while we were there. Staff was friendly and the service was good. read more

What a great place for dog lovers to hang out! What an idea! I found out this place recently after the shopping spree on Grand St. It got to the point where I can chug a pint of beer because it was so hot out! From the outside, this place looks like a normal hipster bar in Brooklyn, but when you walk past the bar, voila, there is a spacious patio in the back with wooden benches! Smoking is permitted in this area as well. They have a long list of beers that sell by either pint or pitcher for a reasonable price. This time we got a pitcher of Genesee Cream Ale for $10. What a great deal! I was like, give me two of those! They also have live band playing near the bar area. It was nice to watch a few dogs playing with one another while you were drinking and hanging out with your friends. It could be crowded at times, but, well, everybody just wanted to enjoy the outside space! Definitely going back for more beer! read more

Luckydog - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Researching to find a bar that had a chill vibe where you can bring your dog. This was one of the top spots in the city, with a solid drink list and an outdoor area for pets and people alike. Draft list is top-notch, a nice selection for just about everyone, ranging from $4-7. To go along with the draft beers, there are plenty of hard-drink specials. Tried the 1-lb Margarita ($10) - a large serving of tequila+marg mix served in a pint glass. This drink is certainly strong (definitely eat something beforehand). Inside, the patio/backyard has a variety of seating, making as much use of the space as possible. Dogs are running around, but all the owners had their pets under wraps. Cool spot to mingle with other pet owners as well as having properly priced drinks. read more

Well any place you can bring dogs and hang out outside, I'm in. The drinks are cheap, the decor is divey, and the bartenders are great. I'm always on the back porch, and there are always like 10 dogs all chilling. It'd be great if people didn't have their dogs pee right at the door to get back in, but whatever, its dogs. at a bar!

The bar itself seems cool, but the bartenders here are incredibly racist, rude and offensive. I've lived in the neighborhood for over 5 years and used to bring my dog cause I thought it was a great opportunity to spend an evening with my friends without neglecting my pup. However, every bartender here has been incredibly rude and racist. My most recent interaction was with an off the clock bartender that was sitting at the bar where I had previously hung my coat while I went to play shuffle board. When I went back to the stool to check for my coat she yelled at me, called me the c word and said I was stupid for leaving my coat at the bar. Unknowingly the off the clock bartender had given my jacket to the working bartender to hold on to for safe keeping (which I appreciate). However she then yelled at my friend that we were stupid and were not welcome back. I strongly suggest NO ONE GO HERE!!!!! OR BY ANY MEANS EXPECT THAT YOU WILL BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. read more

Why is the greatest bar in history? Cause it's dog friendly duhhhhhh. They have a nice little outdoor patio with plenty of room to sit and have a beer and let your dogs mingle with other doggies. Good drink selection and also live music on some days. But doggys. Doggyyyysssssssss. read more

Lucky Dog is such a cute little bar in Williamsburg! Dogs roam freely both inside and out, and the crowd is mostly locals. On weekends, they give out complimentary bagels. The bartenders are usually pretty good and try to get drinks out as quickly as they can when it gets busy. Prices are very reasonable. The back patio is my favorite part - it's nice to be able to hang outside under the string lights on a nice night. I highly recommend checking out this little neighborhood bar! read more

I mean what is better than a bar that is dog-friendly? We had a great time here while visiting my friend. Took her dog to dog park and then came to Lucky Dog after to enjoy a couple of drinks. The patio is quite large which is where I recommend sitting (if weather permits). Plenty of friendly dog owners and dogs to interact with whether you have your own dog or not. Great beer selection too. Bloody Mary also was enjoyable. So many doggos! The service was pretty quick, but it wasn't "prime time" when we were there (I see some people commenting on slow service). read more

The beer selection should appeal to any beer drinker. There is a mix of craft and non-craft beers with some local as well as international favorites. The styles are pretty varied too. There is plenty of entertainment. They have table shuffleboard, a pinball table, and a beer garden. There was also a live performance on a Sunday night. Luckydog is a dog friendly bar, so there are pups walking around sniffing people and such. read more

We sometimes take our maltipoo to the dog park at Domino Park and then make our way here after for post-dog run cocktails. This place makes a mean (and large!) margarita, which is usually my go-to order. I've also ordered aperol spritzes, and various beers/ciders from the menu. I usually visit Saturday afternoons. If you'd like to snag a seat in the backyard, I'd suggest getting here early. By 3 PM, the yard is usually totally full, but our dog likes sitting inside anyways. She likes the AC! Be patient with the barstaff. The bar is usually packed. read more

I sure am a "lucky dog" to have moved in near this bar. I've been in here a couple times with friends because of how close I live and every experience has been great. It's a dive bar, but it's on the higher end of the spectrum; it's not dirty, sticky, or grungy, but still has that low-key, unpretentious vibe. The inside is decked out in kitschy lights and decorations, with large chalk boards to show you what they have on draft/bottles. Prices are reasonable for the area - most beers/ciders around $6/7 - but they have some higher priced (and higher quality) drinks. The inside includes a shuffle board and a pinball machine if you're feeling lively. There's also a spacious back patio with plenty of benches and tables to sit and enjoy your drink, which is especially fun in the summer. The big draw here though is the fact that people can bring their DOGS. As a millennial with a tiny apartment and a proclivity for travel, I get my fill of puppy loving at Luckydog. Bartenders are friendly and I've never had a problem getting service, even when it gets busy, nor have I had problems with a minimum or using a credit card. Friday and Saturday nights are when it's most popping, but I like to go on the weekdays after work for happy hour. There's always a steady flow of people then, but you can sit at the bar and have a nice conversation. The crowd that comes here is pretty young, mid-twenties Williamsburg residents, so it can get loud when busy. To put it plainly, Luckydog does it for me. Puppies, great beer, and friendly bartenders. What more could I need? read more
