Imaginative cocktails with rare liquors in posh, intimate surrounds
"Head down the back alley behind the Albert to find the snake-adorned entrance to Bad Luck. Inside, the rich gold tones and hexagon motif invite intimate conversations over experimental cocktails. Bad Luck is the spot to impress a date with theatrical, intricate, and innovative cocktails." - Serena Maria Daniels
"I entered through a snake-adorned back-alley entrance behind the Albert building into a space of rich gold tones and hexagon motifs that set the scene for intimate conversations over experimental, theatrical cocktails like the Hecate—made with Blanton’s single barrel bourbon, Sazerac rye, black garlic honey, saline, angostura and orange bitters—and served with a spoonful of black vegan caviar." - Serena Maria Daniels
"A cocktail-focused bar popular for evening drinks and socializing, frequently paired with other late-night options in the area." - Serena Maria Daniels
"With its red lighting, round marble bar, and oyster Happy Hour special (two drinks and 13 oysters for $33), Bad Luck Bar in Bed-Stuy is a certifiably sexy spot. And although it would make for a great first date with a bivalve enthusiast, you don’t want your new favorite bar ruined by someone who might suck. So invite a person you already love for martinis and fries, or the people who’d happily share a $45 negroni pitcher with you, crowded around a tiny table in the front window. Or come by yourself for a cocktail, some light chat with the bartender, and a thick slice of pepperoni pan pizza. Whenever we’ve been here solo, they’ve given us the corner piece, and that’s the very best one." - Willa Moore
"Bad Luck Bar is one of the several bars in Detroit that are supplied with fragrances by Sfumato." - Brenna Houck
