Bad Luck Bar

"Bad Luck Bar has $45 pitchers of white Negronis and perfect curly fries. Need we say more? The all-red Crown Heights spot has a massive marble bar where you can perch with a glass of orange wine and a slice of thick pan pizza, and a few high-top tables where you can sip Miller High Lifes and eat chicken wings. They also have one of our favorite oyster Happy Hours in the city: two drinks and 13 oysters for $33." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah

"When: Daily, 5-7pm The Deal: 13 oysters and two Happy Hour drinks for $33; $4 beers; $8 glasses of wine; $10 cocktails  We don’t want to exaggerate, but this might be the best oyster Happy Hour in the entire city. This Bed-Stuy bar is a certifiably sexy spot, with a marble counter and cozy tables in the window, and it’s where you should bring someone you’re deeply in love with for parallel bivalve slurping. And when Happy Hour ends, there’s no need to leave—follow your oysters and cocktails with a slice of thick pan pizza, and maybe a pitcher of Negronis." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman

"When: Daily, 5-7pm The Deal: $4 Beers; $8 Wine; $10 cocktails; 13 Oysters and two Happy Hour drinks for $33 You could probably bring your great uncle to Bad Luck Bar. The Bed-Stuy spot works for just about any occasion, whether you’re slurping oysters with your crush or drinking natural wine like its water at a picnic table outside with five of your nearest and dearest. And when 7pm hits, don’t let the party end—order a slice of thick pan pizza, and maybe a pitcher of Negronis." - willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim

"We find every possible excuse to go to this red-lit bar on Nostrand Ave. Need a spot for a group that enjoys gin and having a good time? Get a pitcher of negronis at Bad Luck Bar. A place to slurp Happy Hour oysters with someone you love? There's a table in the window at Bad Luck Bar. And a place to be alone, but not too alone? Take a seat at the round marble bar, for a thick slice of pan pizza. Just don't bring your first dates here. You don’t want your new favorite spot ruined by someone who might suck. " - Bryan Kim, Willa Moore, Nikko Duren

"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
