Real Luck Café (Lucky's Bar)

(46 Ratings)
Unpretentious dive with a casual crowd

Drink, eat pizza, and listen to the jukebox downstairs. Upstairs offers an 80s vibe with disco music and go-go boys! It should be noted that this bar allows smoking inside and there are lots of folks who light up.

Needs up dated

Bar has hope but needs a Juke box that has music from this decade. Some of the bar tenders have a big time attitude. they spend more time on their laptops then bar tending. Great place to relax at the down stairs bar or see the dancers upstairs

old and skanky

This bar has not changed a bit from the time I was 21 (and Im 35 now). Its still a big yinzer bar that is dark and grimey with skanky strippers and a very big drug crowd.

What he said

Edgar Dumb says it perfectly. (above) sleasefest, watered down liquor, skanky strippers. another club that has been there for years and never an attempt to improve their club, filthy. No pride. I cant believe this place passes any inspections. Another relic from the past

Pittsburgh's Sleaze Mainstay

Lucky's is a must-stop for anybody visiting Pgh and looking for a true anthropological taste of the city. It displays, in patrons and employees, the gritty, yinzofied nature of Pgh gay life. This is the haven for sad alcoholics and young party people alike. The best night to go is usually Sunday night. Because it attracts a crowd of people who love to hump, drink and do drugs, Sunday is like the last hoorah of the weekend. There is nothing glamorous here. This is the gay offspring of steelworkers, and they love to party HARD. If you wind up @ Club Hot afterwards, and then @ someone's hotel room to do drugs and mess around with a hustler, you've done it right. Picture John Waters' Baltimore to have an idea of the taste level. One time, on New Years Eve, I found myself there staring at water pouring from the ceiling and onto the cold cut "buffet" below. The owner was screaming and ran upstairs to find the women's room toilet had overflown. I swear to god: Nobody ever replaced that food and I saw several people eating it later on in the evening. Have Fun!
