Lucinda's

Went to Country-oke hosted by Rachel last night. Was a life changing experience. Amazing host, immaculate vibes. Better than any other karaoke I’ve ever been to. Best night of our lives.

Amazing place, unmet need filled in nyc! Great bands and music, bathroom situation bad. They are beautiful bathrooms, but there aren’t enough, there are 2 for like 200 people. And so it’s at least a 10 minute wait on a busy night. So that is my only not 5 star thing about this great place.

This is an East Village bar, but not for long-time East Villagers. Perhaps tourists or newcomers will enjoy paying 16 bucks plus tip for a drink. I don't like to write negative reviews; I know folks try and that many new bartenders are sharpening their skills. But still: top-shelf G and T should not be made with tonic from the "gun." Lime is a must; so is ice. I'm not a bartender, but I do enjoy a drink after work, and coming from a family of restaurant workers, I respect the staff. I hope Lucinda's becomes a neighborhood bar; there's still time. Until then, there're lots of long time neighborhood joints...and they've also got music. This note is frank and intended as kind feedback. The East Village is an open, welcoming, but discerning neighborhood.

Found my new favorite spot. Bartender Dustin was the standout. Apparently he's a real life southern from Georgia. You can tell by his friendliness and charm that he's legit from the south. Will 100% be back for him.

BEWARE: my phone was STOLEN here. I went with friends on a Saturday night and we were having so much fun until I realized my phone was stolen!!! The bar was zero help and didn’t even seem phased or like they cared… which just felt odd and like a red flag. Also, I’ve seen a few other reviews & heard some things after asking around, and it definitely seems like theft is common here. If you go, literally watch all your belongings or don’t bring any. I had a tiny shoulder purse with a zipper, and somehow at some point someone managed to pick it out of there.

Stopped by because the music was so good. Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be coming back

BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETERS !!!! Had a great night here until realizing two of my friends had multiple cards stolen right out of their zipped purses this past Saturday night. One lost over $1,000. There is clearly a ring of skilled thieves operating here, and I hope management takes it seriously. Be extremely cautious of this place

Love, love, loooove Lucinda's—great vibes, elite addition to the neighborhood, lovely bartenders, but I have a HUGE bone to pick. All drinks are being served in plastic red Solo cups. As a southern girl in the EV, I get that it's "a southern thing," but single use plastic is not a good look in the 2020s. Plus the bartenders can't see when your drink is empty because they aren't see through, which is just common sense. Sorry, but a great bar deserves to be held to a high bar!!

"Hipster Honky Tonk" Lucinda Williams and the East Village? What's is going on? This really had to happen sooner than later. A real honky tonk with live music, country music with down and dirty dive bar vibes in this hood. It's been around for less than a minute, but already attracting a crowd. This place is gonna be hot. What's to cheer - friendly bartenders - County and Western decor - live music! - good drink prices What's to jeer - It's a little loud. But deal with it

All drinks served in red plastic cups! Shame! I love Lu but this place is too country for me.
