What we say

Very Mixed Crowd
Very casual bar with two floors. The younger crowd tends to hang out downstairs, where they drink, eat pizza and listen to the jukebox. The older crowd goes upstairs to dance to disco or 80's music, play Ms. Pac Man or to watch go-go boys.

***** Fairly nice place
Posted: October 05, 2009
I was there the end of September on a Saturday night. The downstairs bar was not busy at all then I found the upstairs and chilled out in a corner for a bit but after my 2nd drink I was more relaxed. The nude go-go boys were hot and very friendly and if you asked them a question they would answer it truthfully. It was pretty full with a mixed crowd up stairs. If I must suggest a good drink to have try the upstairs long island iced tea they were so good and will get you tipsy really fast. The rest room downstairs sucked it was very dirty and disgusting however the upstairs restroom is a much improvement. The bar itself was not what I expected it to be for my very first visit it needs cleaned up and a new floor plan so the boys don't have to dance on the bar and step on the nasty spilled drinks. Other than those items the boys and the drinks were the best. I just wished one of the dancers would have came home with me he had the perfect body.

***** Get Lucky at Lucky's :)

Lucky's (AKA the Real Luck Cafe) is a neighborhood gay bar and cafe with two floors and a back deck. Note that you need to enter through the back door (of the bar, that is!) off the deck. Upstairs is another bar with hot nude dancer boys (from 10 pm 'til 1 am) and a smallish dance floor. I was there on Sat. 7/18/09. The patrons were mostly guys, and there were quite a few cute ones. Drinks were cheap, and there was no cover charge. Downstairs there were only a few guys, despite it being a Saturday, but upstairs it was pretty crowded around the bar, with only a few people on the dance floor. A word of warning though: Don't touch the dancer boys or you may get thrown out!

***** Poor Service
Posted: June 27, 2009
I am a waiter and have been for 10 years and I have never been to a place where the employees are so rude. The doorman/bartender Kevin (I believe) checked my ID with a fine tooth comb, pulling me off to the side in a stern, unfriendly way. I understand the importance of checking ID's but I didn't know you had to act like a stern police officer, and the fact he is unattractive makes it all the worse. The dancers look to be on crack/cocaine and act as if they are better than everyone when, in fact, that is far from ther case.. Hate this place

***** Very friendly bar
Posted: June 18, 2008
We were visiting Pittsburgh from out of town. We went to Lucky's after leaving one of the other bars. Local patrons were very friendly and engaging. We were introduced to people and invited to play darts. Had a very positive experience. Found the upstairs bar to be fun. The building is older and a bit of a dive, but that adds to its charm.
