Editorial Review for Lucky's – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
Descending the stairs into Lucky's is like stepping through a portal into a swinging hipster lounge straight out of the '50s. Dim red lighting washes a rowdy vinyl-upholstered dining room, which is separate from the long narrow bar. Sardine-like conditions are the norm during peak hours, when an energetic crowd (Fort Point Channel artsy types and Financial District worker bees) rolls in for the neighborhood's liveliest scene.
The Draw
Lucky's signature laid-back vibe is kicked up to another level when rollicking Motown, funk and blues bands take the stage (nightly except for Mondays). In the crowd, people dance wherever they can find the room, while wallflowers sample house martinis like the Lady Luck, a bubbly raspberry-lime concoction. A mix of comfort food and pub fare (homemade meat loaf, mini burgers) is served late, but the festivities tend to center around the bar. "Sinatra Sunday Brunch," served until 3pm, is always a good time.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe bar has no sign out front. Look for a red glow pouring out of its windows, and then find the obscure entrance on the corner of Congress and A streets.
ParkingPublic transportation to Fort Point Channel is scant. Parking is easy--try the All-Bright garage a half block away on Congress Street.
When to GoMake sure to hit up the "Sinatra Sunday Brunch" with live music from 11am-2pm every sunday.

Me and 4 of my girlfriends went to Luckys last weekend. I have mixed feelings. The bartenders were nice and not as snobby as most lounges around here. And the drinks were good and we didnt have to wait for them either which is always a plus. The music was great. But the bathrooms were disgusting and the place felt dirty. The mini burgers were awesome but the fried chicken was horrible. The appetizers were all good but we were disapointed with our entrees. The crowd was ok too I liked that it wasnt all 21 year olds. There were lots of 20 something and 30 something girls but the guys were older and seemed a bit creepy. Overall we had fun I will definetely give it another try but I wasnt blown away.
Pros: Music, Drinks, Appetizers
Cons: Bathrooms, Entrees

Went to Lucky's Lounge for the first time Monday night with one of my girlfriends. I live in Southie and they're definitely getting a new regular in me. I had the steak tips and they were absolutely delicious, by far the best I've had in a while. The waitress was charming and took quite good care of us and that was even before she knew the it was our first time. When she did find out she explained about how they have live music on some nights. I'm already making plans to come in for Sinatra Sunday soon! It's a great place to come in a just relax. My only cons are no live music on Mondays and I couldn't find it at first (no sign) but later in the evening I realized that no sign is part of Lucky's charm.
Pros: No Sign
Cons: No Sign, No live music on Mondays
