If you're coming to Lucky it's for one of two reasons: 90's night or a concert. I've never really…read morebeen here for any other occasion really. 90's night. One of Victoria's favourite nights out dancing the night away to Spice Girls, TLC and Backstreet Boys. Beware the long lines though. Make sure to get you and your pals on guest list to avoid the lines. The staff at Lucky are awesome and I've seen them put up with a lot. As most bar staff usually do when dealing with hundreds of intoxicated guests. The bartenders are all super friendly and efficient. Make sure to ask them to do a shot out of the shot-ski. The bar itself is fairly small. There's one large bar and the dance floor fills up fairly quickly. Hence why there are such long lines. I found that whenever I went to Lucky's I ran into tons of people I knew. Maybe that's just the university scene though. I haven't been to a 90's night in forever and I kind of miss it. Maybe on my next trip to Victoria?

The bar is a great place. I was visiting from Los Angeles, CA and came to Victoria for the first…read moretime. I was shocked by how friendly the staff and people were. I was talking to the bartenders, patrons, and bouncers and they were all very friendly. I was just gonna stay in my hotel room and I was glad to have such a welcoming experience. HOWEVER, please watch out for two people that said their names are Dominique and Joey. I was trying to be friendly with them and as a common courtesy, got the first round. The bartender even made a local Victorian drink (which tasted like chocolate milk). However, when the bar closed, we went next door to get more drinks. I figured, common courtesy, someone else will get the next round, but we got separate tabs. When the bill came, the two ran out. The local that introduced me to them paid for their bill, but I gave a $20 USD and hope that was enough to cover their share. The bar is a great place and I would definitely go back. As a person who comes from the pretentious city of LA (and is always cautious of being hustled), I have never had such a genuine introduction to Canadians. However, please watch out for those two. I loved how the bar even had a pay it forward drink chalk board. You can prepay for drinks for future patrons. Had I stayed longer, I was going to buy drinks for the people I met there (and would have been a great Thank you for the locals since I was only there for one night). However, do watch out for these two scammers. I would never want what had happen to me happened to other visitors. Despite this, continue to support Lucky Bar as the staff is fantastic.

We spent a great evening sitting…read moreout on the sidewalk, but the interior is just as impressive--a beautiful and historic building dating back to 1894 with very lively music playing inside. I was honestly shocked by how good the food was. I had initially assumed it might be a spot primarily for tourists, but a dear friend of mine who is a local mentioned that people in Victoria actually love coming here. She even noted that some friends from her children's school were there just the night before for an alumni weekend. The menu absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by the fish and chips; the fish was moist with a light batter and wasn't oily at all. The burgers, Irish stew, and shepherd's pie were all delectable as well. The real standout, however, was the sockeye salmon in a pesto preserved lemon broth--it was so addictive that I wish I could replicate the recipe at home. It is very easy to see why this spot has received so many accolades, and I would love to return the next time we are back in Victoria!

Staff? Indifferent. (Except for the gal handling will call tickets, she's nice). Drinks? Eh, get some beer in a bottle. The club is in a basement. Why book touring acts here? We got a cramped early bird set and then they transformed into the night club boomp boomp. At least it has a good sound system. So, if your night out drinking needs to involve high heels and that mistakes-were-made EDM feel, these douches are ready. I think there was a roof deck. At least no sharks in the dance floor.

There was a lot to do aside from the bingo, including darts, beer pong, and free pool.

Bar in the front, set up chairs on what is apparently a dance floor. Performers were on a small stage in the back. Interesting setup where you can get food from the place next door--kind of like a starbucks/barnes & noble setup. This seemed fine until folks started to come in for drinks, at which point it got hard to hear the performers. I hear the place has new owners. TBH, it could use some sprucing up. The plaster is quite literally falling off the ceiling in a couple spots. None of us used the restrooms, so not sure what shape they are in. All in all, I'm glad it's available as an option, and hopefully the new folks will see fit to spruce it up a bit.
