Visited yesterday. New in town but have been by this place before. Great place and we adored the bartender. grey haired man. Good drinks and fun place with a great view. Lots od locals made this place fun. read more

Not going to lie but I've been wanting to come here. I saw a cute latino man with a black hat in the cut but in these days Idk if he is straight or gay. Either way, very good looking. Cool dive bar. They have a foosball and a pool table. Open space bar with lots of barstools to sit with friends or solo. Love the open air concept. I had a good time for a short time. Not too much to add to be honest. I was only at this place for 30 mins. read more

The Lucky Lure - the gang's all here!! - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Awesome place, had a fantastic time! They had pool, foosball and plenty of drink options. i kicked some serious butt on the foosball table and was so happy because not many bars have them. They were playing music from the 80s and we were all having the best time singing along. The bartenders were friendly and fast making drinks on a Saturday night. The only thing keeping me from giving this bar 5 stars is the bathroom in the back. Dear god I felt like I was transported into a SAW movie LOL. read more

ORLANDO, FL: The Lucky Lure is a great dive bar to hang out with a drink, play some pool, meet locals, catch the sunset over Lake Ivanhoe, watch the game on their TVs, and have a fun time with your pup! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside with windows that let in the breeze and it is covered on the top and offers counter seating. Get there before the nightlife starts as this is a party place! read more

Great venue to hang out, have a couple beers and check out the local music scene. Open air is great on warm nights.

One of my all time favorite spots. I love the people watching from the open air bar and it's a local joint, so always friendly.

Cozy and well decorated bar with a great view! The windows are all open facing the street, so it's lovely to take in some nice weather. Also liked the "grab beer" item for $3 and beer of the week :) would love to come back on a lively night and enjoy the atmosphere! read more

Love this place and everyone who works there, except one bartender who is extremely unprofessional. Lee refused me and my friends service, who were all entirely sober simply because one of us used to work with him and he had a vendetta. Turning down good money for the bar because of his own pettiness. Jared and everyone else is amazing. read more

Love this place, but they need to do something about their power-tripped bartender Lee. He was extremely rude to my friend. All the rest of the staff I've encountered are fabulous. read more

Great spot to grab a couple of beers and play pool, loved the vibe this place had. It was absolutely rammed full when I went on a Friday evening a few months ago, but it added to the atmosphere in the place. Would def return for a few casual drinks and play pool with friends! read more

The Lucky Lure is a pretty cool place with a great view of Lake Ivanhoe. The vibe is pretty cool and the staff is friendly. All in all, a cool place. read more

This was a nice blend of indoor/ outdoor seating. The bartender was very helpful to us tourists when we asked for directions to another beer spot. read more

If you're looking for a dive bar near, but not in downtown, you've found it. The service is usually fast and the bartenders are always joking and having a good time. Don't be surprised if you see me walking by with my dog, and maybe even jumping in for a round if it's still early enough in the night. read more

The bartender went out of his way to look at my skirt when I mentioned my concern to the other bartender about it, he just laughed and asked what he wanted him to do. Zero accountability towards their coworkers neither safely of their costumers read more

Love this bar! Great live music and a huge selection of craft beers. We usually pre-game here or end the night at this spot. They don't serve food but there's a ton of places around. read more

The Lucky Lure - Huge craft beer selection! - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Discovered this bar on Yelp. Walked here from the Hideaway bar. Glad I came here! The view from the bar is the street and Lake Ivanhoe. It had a beach theme to it, which is perfect because you see the water of the lake. My mind tricked me into thinking it was the actual beach. Very casual outside bar. It is covered so you can still go here when it's raining. There are high powered fans to keep you not dying from the heat. The have foozeball and pool tables as well. I was impressed they carried a wide variety of good beer. Crafts beers but they also had a full bar. The owner was behind the bar, and was welcoming and very chill. As soon as my friend approached the bar to order, he introduced himself with a handshake. We had a lot of conversations and he is pretty personable. He had good beer knowledge, and what beers to recommend. You get to use a koozie when you order a canned beer, which adds to the beach theme. Had a good time. Will be back! read more

The Lucky Lure - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Rude bartenders and clicky clientele, would never go back and will never recommend this place! I am an Orlando native and the people at this establishment are not a good example of friendly Orlando residents! I would be embarrassed to take friends or family here due to the terrible treatment we received! No wonder there were only like 8 customers and a weekend night!!! Heed my warning....go elsewhere! read more

The bartender was so rude. We simply just asked for some drinks which he could of say that they don't offer those type of drinks there. But instead he gave us an attitude and said "this is not a f*** beach bar". It was such a bad experience read more

Nice little bar with the breeze, it's a great spot to start a little bar crawl. I love anything beachy and this bar had that atmosphere. It has surfer vibe and there are surf boards hanging as decoration. There is also some free popcorn, if you're into that. I personally love when the bar offers free popcorn since I'm kinda obsessed with popcorn! read more

The Lucky Lure - Cute nautical bar. - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Lucky Lure is always a good choice. We typically stop in here while waiting for our table for brunch. I love getting a beer-mosa here - made with Victory Golden Monkey Ale and a splash of OJ. It's a perfect way to start the brunch day! The bar is basically a patio, so there is no "indoor" seating, it's all open. So it can get a little warm during the summertime, but it's perfect for when the temperature drops a bit. There is seating at the bar and facing towards the lake, so you can get a nice view during the day. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. They gave a free birthday shot for our friend who turned 21! They have a large variety of craft beers and a full bar, with certain liquor specials. They have giant jenga out front and a pool table inside. There is also free popcorn! They occasionally have a food truck parked out front if you get hungry for a full meal. If you're ever in the Ivanhoe area, make a stop at Lucky Lure! read more

Me and my wife love coming here.. this is stop number one or number two on our Ivanhoe bar crawl. We hit lucky lure, hammered lamb, thirsty topper, Santiago's, Ten10, courthouse or brasstap and if we have energy left we hit will's pub and maybe Wally's. We have come here tons of times and even adopted one of our dogs during their 1st yappy hour where Judy's rescue brings rescue dogs for people to play with and hopefully adopt. The staff is super friendly and the drinks are pretty good. We have come here a ton and never had a bad experience. At first the open window thing seems a bit hot but they have this huge machine that circulated the air and it feels like you are at the beach. Last time we came we tried the Orlando city margarita and it was pretty good.. definitely recommend it read more

The Lucky Lure! What can i say about Ivanhoe's dive bar. It feels very Floridian to me. Cheap drinks. Great crowd, super laid back. It's a great place to hang out as you make your way to the other bars/restaurants in the area. It's an outdoor/open air bar which makes it a fun spot to people watch or even catch a distant view of the sunset by the lake. When it gets super hot, they turn on the cooling sprays which are a godsend. When in the area, I seem to always make my way to this bar, and i always have a great time.

My husband and I live in College Park and love going to the bars in Ivanhoe. Lucky Lure happens to be one of our favorite spots. The atmosphere is very relaxed. It's located right across from Lake Ivanhoe so it's nice to just sit out and enjoy the views. They also have a little patio with jenga. The bartenders are awesome and always make us feel right at home. There is a wide variety of beers. Drinks are reasonably priced. There is also a popcorn machine and we like to enjoy a couple drinks while snacking on the popcorn. On Sundays, they often have a food truck parked out front. They have regular events such as yappy hour. While dogs are always welcome, during yappy hour they have special treats for our four-legged friends. I follow Lucky Lure on facebook and instagram so I can stay updated on their events such as live music. I'm really glad we have this fun bar so close to home. read more

After the Elite event at Oblivion Taproom yesterday, I stopped by here since I was nearby. The Lucky Lure appears to have opened recently, maybe even on July 3 (according to its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Lucky-Lure/250317965112195). I didn't stay for very long, but I enjoyed the little bit of time that I was here. There are stools/seats along the bar's outer wall that allow for some good open-air views of Lake Ivanhoe. I liked that a lot. The bar wasn't crowded when I first arrived, but it seemed to be picking up a little bit just as I was preparing to leave. It seemed to be a fun place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon/evening. The bar doesn't offer anything extravagant in its beer selection, with the most appealing choices being Magic Hat # 9 and Red Hook. It also offers many of the basics (Bud Light, PBR, etc.). As far as I can tell, liquor is served here, though I'm unsure if it truly is a full bar. My can of Magic Hat # 9 cost $4, which is a decent deal for one of the better beers the bar is offering. There are many places around town that I really like and probably always will prefer to The Lucky Lure, but some future visits definitely are in order. It seems like a low-key place to relax and enjoy some decent beers. I'm not sure when I'll be back, but hope to try it at least once more in the next month or two. The bar probably deserves somewhere around a 3.5 rating, but I'm rounding up for now. If my perception of it changes during/after future visits, I'll update the rating accordingly. read more

The Lucky Lure - Magic Hat # 9. (7/14/13) - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Came past with my dad, loved the bar, bartender, ambiance! Bar has so many choices and appreciated how well the service was. Will be back and will recommend to all of my friends! read more

The best time to visit The Lucky Lure is around sunset, when the golden rays bounce off of Lake Ivanhoe, giving this pub a lovely glow. The open space always makes for a pleasant drinking experience, and it's perfect if you're not a fan of smoke. Tony (owner) and his bartenders are very friendly (Jared and Brandon are cool cats) and their cocktails are mixed quite well. You can tell they love what they do, and they seem to enjoy hanging out there themselves even on their days off. The drink prices here generally fall between The Hideaway (less expensive) and The Hammered Lamb (more expensive). My only (very minor) caveat is that they don't offer food. That's not really a deal breaker since you can find food within walking distance on either side of the bar. It can, depending on the night, get a little too loud. But that's to be expected from a tight space. All in all, Lucky Lure's a great place to add to your Lake Ivanhoe bar hopping trail. read more

had a tab of $5 then later on when I had a checked my bank I was charged $20.20 and nobody seems to answer the phone to fix this problem. Have tried getting ahold of them for the past 3 days. If you like a place that changed your tips without your Knowledge this is your place. read more

Honestly, the best view, easy going atmosphere with a solid crew pouring the drinks. the simplicity is something all the other bars lack. Dog friendly mind you. read more

The Lucky Lure is a great patio style bar, with a pretty good beer selection (no draft beer though), and full liquor selection. Beer orders come with a koozie too, which is a pretty unique idea, or many people bring their own. I'm not sure if they have food, as I've only been here for drinks. The bartenders are cool though, and actually let my friends and I park our bikes on the patio so we didn't need to worry about locking them up outside. Nestled right in the heart of the Lake Ivanhoe district, its worth checking out for sure. read more

Best Bartenders ever!! Stiff drinks and seriously incredible local musicians playing regularly during the weekdays!! Dog friendly, great specials, beautiful view of nightly sunsets, bar games and fun patrons and staff read more

I went Friday night and got a Bud Light for $2.50. I tipped $.50. 20 minutes after I left I got a notification from my credit card I was charged $20.20. Nobody at this bar will answer the phone to help me and their voicemail box is full. They're useless and I'm sad I was charged much more then what I was expected to pay. read more

Great place in Ivanhoe Village to stop for a drink. Its an outdoor bar with great views of the lake. Puppy friendly and there always seems to be at least one or 2 there welcoming guests. Good drink prices and a pretty good selection of beer (in the can). Great bar to stop at if you are "crawling" your way through the village. read more

Lucky Lure is my favorite Ivanoe Village bar. There isn't much that I can say about it besides: Lovely location. Outdoor seating. Dog friendly. Quick service. Decently priced (and quite a variation) beer options. Great happy hour. And a foosball table! I promise you'll love it. read more

OMG!! We stopped by in the afternoon. Mike Blaze was super friendly and told us to be sure to come back. We did!! We met people from so many places and Mike came back to check on us. This place is so much fun .... good drinks and cold beer. And free popcorn! And really great people watching! Ask for Mike!! read more

Really cool spot! Chill vibes and great drink selection. The weather was perfect the day I went. Plus, the classic rock playing definitely hits my soul better than most basic Downtown Orlando bars and clubs. Might have a new favorite bar just cause it reminds me of The Keys. Little piece of home away from home read more

Great local bar. Great staff. No frills but a great neighborhood bar. You can bring your dog. It's like you're outside but you're not, there's no windows. No food but there's places close by. Parking is the bad part. read more

Great little dive bar in the heart of the Ivanhoe area. Great views of the lake and laid back vibe. Bartenders are not shy with their pours. No food here although there's tons of spots to grab a bite nearby. They do hag popcorn though if you get the munchies. Just a great dive bar overall. read more

This would have been a good experience if it weren't for a condescending prick of a bartender. Getting a beer was a real ordeal. I asked for a couple specific beers, not particularly uncommon ones. The bartender replied with one of those rapid nostril exhalation that mostly says, "I'm too good for this line of questioning." Asking then what was on tap, I learned that nothing was on tap. Interesting tactic for a bar. This also came in a sneering answer, as if every patron ought to be entirely familiar with this bar's offerings, this bar which is one of several in an indistinguishable row. Another patron, a woman who came up just after me, received similar attitude, which didn't really make a ton of sense: something about how the cocktail list is only for tourists. Dear bartender; there are bars for people like you, the kind that uses aromatic bitters, where you expect to be abused for your money a la Tony Clifton. Lucky Lure has a beach bar motif, so stop shitting where you eat and act like it. Eventually resorting to a standard beer and mixed drink, I finally got something or other. Intending to tip anyway but turning to my friend for cash, I heard a sarcastic "thank you," which of course led to no tip, which is what the guy earned in the first place. Things have a way of working themselves out. read more

Walked over from Thirsty Topher to check out this bar for a quick drink with a friend. It's an extremely casual bar for locals & hipsters-jeans & chucks lol. Thankfully, I'm the kind of person that can adapt to any social setting. They have a full liquor bar & mainly domestic beers- very few craft & rare beers. Beer snobs need not bother lol. BUT if you're looking to kick back and chilax at a neighborhood bar- then this is the place to go. I found this place very cool- I didn't find the bartenders to be over serving at all. The patrons seemed very friendly- I didn't experience any alienation whatsoever. Heh we were even given control over the remote. I'll definitely be returning to this place once it gets warmer outside. read more
