What People Are Saying
from Google"These drinks are beyond normal drinks. Every cocktail was elevated to the next three levels. If you have a chance go check this small speakeasy. I loved the atmosphere as well. So chill inside and the bottles that have are off the chain."
"We had a night out and decided to stop in to the Bad Luck Bar (how can you go wrong with a name like that?). We made the rookie mistake of trying to follow Google maps, walked right past the alley and went on the other side of the block. Yes the entrance is from that alley. When we arrived had to put our name on the list. We waited about 45 minutes before the call. My recommendation is to get there early. Once we were in, this is a great speakeasy, and a very intimate atmosphere. They have a very unique drink menu. I would suggest asking the waiter for advice, if you have any questions. It was definitely an experience. We will go back."
"The ultimate Speakeasy in downtown Detroit, the Bad Luck Bar is hidden in a nondescript alley not far from Campus Martius and half a block from Woodwood and State St. I bought it out for a couple hours for a group event and the place is quite magical. The GM, Eric, has been there more than seven years and personally delivers the more sophisticated drinks and explains them in detail. We splurged on the $147 Japanese/Scotland fine whiskey selection with chocolates. Prices for cocktails are over the top, most near $30 and single pours of average whiskeys are about the same. However, the house crafted cocktails are special and you are coming here as a special treat. Add the fact they do not serve food and seating is limited, they have to charge higher prices. Overall, costly experience that is well worth it. Just hope when you knock on the door, they will let you in! Enjoy!!"
"Bad Luck Bar might be small, but it delivers a big experience. The space is intimate, moody, and thoughtfully designed, perfect for a night out that feels a little more personal. You can actually hear the person next to you, which is rare and refreshing. The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Every drink I’ve had was delicious. Definitely a hidden gem worth seeking out."
"This place should get 5 stars for the atmosphere alone. Tucked away in a stinky alleyway, this gem offers a quiet place for cute dates with exceptional drinks and 5 stars service. When you get seated in their slick bar or their comfy booths you find yourself served with still water and a tiny delicious surprise. They give you their menu of delicious (slightly pricey but well worth it) drinks. No one in our group was disappointed, and how could you be when your served unique cups, with metal straws at a candlelit table with great company? We came here to celebrate a birthday, and we don’t want to leave. Shoutout to Aaron and Luka for making our night memorable!"
