Dylan was great. Helped us out from the beginning with friendly and attentive service. He let us know all of the specials and even offered to make us a cocktail when we couldn't decide. It was yummy! It was our first time here and we had a great time. read more

This "rowdy" bar in the Himmarshee area is known for its no frills vibe. As a downtown bar, it is mostly favored for its beers/drinks and as a late night venue. It's had its mix of clientele over the years. Even the tourists and spring breakers have enjoyed coming here. As I'm not much of a drinker, I usually just enjoyed all the crazies -- that is the people watching. And sometimes the music -- in my younger days. We would sometimes stop in after a show at the Broward Center to wait until the traffic died down. Locals should make sure they go there this week. I recently read that they will be closing at the end of this month. read more

We went down to celebrate my friend's birthday in Fort Lauderdale, with the nights involving us hit the bars in Himmarshee and Las Olas. Obviously, with the former, we crawled from one bar to another and Lucky's was one of them. The bar is like most typical college-20-something hangouts: open late; neon lights, DJ booth, dance floor, multiple drink specials for the price of one, but with a sizeable craft beer selection, all the standard spirits, and drinks made fast by experienced bartenders. All those points are fine and dandy. Dandy and fine. But nothing more than that. Space has been interchangeable with other similar named bars for a while now. Lucky's is the latest. But it is a solid watering hole, I'll give them that. The bar fits in well with the Himmarshee bar scene for young lads and lassies to drink until they think they are the lord Bacon Ra, and jump into the New River because they think they can fly. But with the first drink, I was brought back to a few years earlier when I lived in Fort Lauderdale and drunk off my ass a few days a week. Lucky's is a good spot for good times and buzzes that turn into drunken lullabies and humongous hangovers. read more

Great experience! Easy to get in. Fun dance floor with quick access to the bar. Not hard to get drinks even if it's packed. The vibes were great. Music was all over the place but definitely tried to cater to all. read more

Love a big dance floor ! Fun with friends after work and loving the music vibes and space to dance !!!

The best ever. I love them. So nice. Amazing individuals. Omg the best shot. Ha thank you.

Someone walked up on our dart game and started playing, and after being confronted about it he started trying to fight our whole group and the bouncer kicked us out and screamed at us saying "don't talk shit to my people" "idgaf" "I'm not listening" over and over??? We were in a group of 15 and had been there for a long time. Had zero problems before. The bouncer had a long white beard and caused all of us to leave. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! There is a reason this place has been dead for years. Extremely disappointed and will never come back!!!!!!!!!! read more

I haven't ate here. But Houston is by far the friendliest bartender I've come across. Being I'm not from the the suburbs. Music is laid back but super fun at night. The bartender even comes out and swing dances with me since it's not my area normally read more

This is a difficult place to rate, as what one might think of it definitely depends upon what day of the week or what time day or night that you are there. I've been in here a few times and it and it can really hop and be with it on weekends when they have entertainment and the bartenders generally hop along with the crowd pretty well. Other times, like week days somewhat dull and divey, generally only be patronized by a few beer guzzling regulars with whom the bartenders will be chatting in a sort of killing time manner. They are well known for having one of the largest beer selections, something like 113, and I understand may even have some award together with hangover bragging rights if you manage to drink one of each. Once inside you'll see a huge blackboard with an incredible number of selections, most interesting being those that are brewery custom crafted. Every night is also generally designated as some sort of special type of night like a "Ladies Night Wednesday," if that is what they want to call some of the drunken girls I've noted there, an "Acoustic Night" and so forth, but you might want to check out their web site in advance to see whatever action they have going as I've generally found that, unlike many other establishments, Lucky's seems to keep their site up to date and accurate. Their entertainment has been, from what I've seen and heard, generally been pretty good. Most of the patrons seem to be of the 20 or early 30 somethings and, at least of those I've met, more so local than tourist or vacationers. read more

So good we loved it!! So amazing, loved the girls night drinks we had!! Me and my friends had the best time!

Watched someone get assaulted and when trying to talk to a manager they wouldn't do anything about it.

I love going to Luckys! The music is always great and it's always a fun time! Dillion and Houston are the best bartenders! They put on a great show and make awesome customized drinks. Definitely a must to visit! read more

Good drinks and great music! Sit at the tables and enjoy the cool vibes. Come later in the night for larger crowd.

On a night out, check out this little gem on Las Olas. The crowd is mixed ages depending on the season. (But that's FL right ‍) Dylan is a gem!!! He makes great drinks and really friendly. They have games and a decent DJ playing your rock favs. read more

Over 60 craft beers, so the husband was in heaven. Full liquor too, so I was content. Las Olas has a hipster secrion, near the very end and this was in it. There is even a nightclub near but we didn't go as it was supposed to open at 9 but wasn't yet at 915 so we decided to go to the other end of Las Olas. read more

I was visiting Ft. Lauderdale last weekend and had a blast at this bar. It's the place to go if you're up to party. Maria the dancer made it super fun, she livened things up even more plus she was a sweetheart! Definitely will be back next time I visit. read more

ladies drink free! had such a good time, the DJ was so fun and the atmosphere is amazing, Dylan was our primary bartender and was so pwrsonable and attentive. definitely a must - go - to!! read more

This was our second bar hopping stop on a given Friday night. On the previous stop we just couldn't get the drinks from the waitresses fast enough. This place was not very busy that night so we came thinking we should be able to get our drinks quicker here. A very typical bar: a full bar at one side of the wall, a few tables on the opposite side, and a lot of empty space in between, which I assume is intended for dancing? Well, none of us was in the mood for dancing and no one was dancing anyway. We ordered a few drinks and we saw there was a huge Jenga game on a table in front of us. Its a lot of fun to play while having a few drinks. We had a great time there! read more

Lucky's Tavern - Fun bar game - Dive Bars Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This bar is quite wonderful. The experience is excellent. Fridays and Saturdays are clearly the best evenings due to it's proximity to the Ft. Lauderdale Strip. A young crowd, excellent music choice and wonderful atmosphere are just a few of the delights this venue offers. The DJ is always on point and is near-godlike in his ability to weave musical bliss. The Bartenders are experienced and quick to pour shots and mix cocktails. There is even a wonderful shot girl dancing on the bar livening up the already hoppin' night by pouring shots directly in patron's mouths. An awesome bar, awesome people and a nice time. What more can you ask for? read more

Great time with great friends! We went here for our friends birthday. He turned 29 1/2 and had a great time. His name is Matt. He is shy but a ladies man. Now Sammy is the best bartender. No others come close. Mark had fun. Dillon also is a great bartender. read more

What a night. My friend Garrett had the time of his life. He met this group of moms and fell in love. Will definitely be back. The barter Sammi was a delight. read more

Love the music !!!! They do beer pong sometimes ! I came on a Sunday and it was lit !! Recommended !!!!!

I went twice, once on a Thursday and then the following Saturday. Thursday was great no problems(was empty). But Saturday the bouncer would not let my friends in due to being black. They let me in every time I wanted but when it came to them who were dressed well, not hood, They said they were full capacity. They had empty tables all over the place due to covid but still said that. We stayed outside and tried to come back in multiple times and each time we were turned away. They also turned away a group of trans which also just shows the ignorance of the owners. I am not gonna say it's like that every time but Saturday night if you're a group of black men and women I would not go there. read more

Dylan is the man! Customer service 10/10! Thank you for showing us a good time since we're from out of town. The DJ also played mainstream music read more

Hands down the best sandwich I've ever had in my mouth. 5 stars. Definitely would recommend. 5 stars.

Literally one of the best bars around Fort Lauderdale, ladies night free drinks on Thursdays are the way to go. This place never disappoints! The bartenders are always really nice and always a good vibe read more

I have never felt so compelled to write a yelp review before but what this bartender did was utterly disrespectful. The bartenders were great at first, very accommodating and a lot of fun. We were about to leave, after spending $100, and just asked to play one song. Being from new york, we wanted to play a song to tribute 9/11. We were the few left in the bar and all we wanted was ONE SONG. The one bartender, named Dylan, kicked us out for this one request, saying "I don't care." I work at a bar and absolutely hate yelp, but I feel the need to try to get this out to anybody who sees this because the fact that this bartender disrespected 9/11 the way he did shouldn't go unnoticed. If you ever end up at this bar and come into contact with the bartender named Dylan, can you please give him a huge Fuck You from me and all of my friends and family in New York, who lost everything on 9/11. He is an absolute disgrace. read more

Nice bar and ambience . Drinks were great . There was this tall rude male bartender who could help close this bar soon . Good luck .

went in there with a date last night .. ordered 2 shots of Patron, 1 Amstel and 1 Redbull .. the pretty bartender handed me the tab for $71.. i asked "are u sure?" she replied yes .. $71 + tip = $85 !!!! ouch ! Not Lucky.. we got outta there immediately read more

This is the best bar and the bartenders are the best in ftl visit this place for a great time

Fun vibe. Very casual and laid back. It's located within walking distance of tons of other bars on riverfront so it's great for bar hopping and they do not charge cover which is awesome. I usually always stop in when I'm in downtown fort lauderdale. It's a great place to come on the weekend as its usually pretty busy.The weekdays are slower depending on the special they are offering that night and the crowd usually thickens on Thursday. Young vibe, I'd say mostly 35 and under. Great place to come for beer drinkers. The bar has a huge selection, 113 different beers to choose from. Not great on crafted cocktails however. They offer basic well drinks- rum and coke, vodka soda, jack and coke etc- which is pretty standard of the dive bars in downtown fort lauderdale. The drinks are affordable and the bartenders are quick and attentive. The music is loud and bumping, They play some of the latest hits along with old school jams. They have some interactive games to keep the night going. You can also play a game of giant jenga or beer pong while you listen to the tunes. The only thing I don't like is how smokey it gets inside, but that's trivial is it a bar after all. I would recommend if you're into the dive bar atmosphere it's a laid back fun place to go. read more

Definitely my favorite bar in The downtown area! 113 beers! Who else does that?!?!? This place is a great places to try some new beers!! The staff is so super friendly!!
