Speakeasy vibe with classic cocktails, comfort food, and live music
"It can be hard to find somewhere casual in the Seaport where you won’t spend the same amount on drinks and dinner as your weekly grocery run. If you just want to hang out with friends and have some good cocktails, head to Lucky’s, an underground bar on Congress. It feels a little like a speakeasy when you walk down the stairs into the dark room, but without the whole ice cubes engineered in a lab or fake entrance through a restaurant setup. Instead, the room looks like your friend’s cool dad’s basement bar, with groovy starburst lighting fixtures and lots of random kitsch. The burgers are messy and great, as is everything on the starters menu, particularly the pork belly bao buns and chicken empanadas." - tanya edwards, grace kelly
"Lucky’s was cool before people started thinking Fort Point was cool. Catch a show while snacking on reliable, laid-back dishes of pizzas, nachos, fish and chips, and empanadas." - Eater Staff

"The coolest bar in the Fort Point/Seaport area, essential for a cocktail stop." - Terrence Doyle
"Many Seaport drinking spots attract one of two crowds: (1) a lot of people in business casual complaining about having to re-write a memo because Mitch screwed it up again (that would be the bars at Del Frisco’s or Strega), or (2) a lot of people waiting in line for 45 minutes to buy overpriced drinks and unsuccessfully hit on the servers (The Grand and Scorpion Bar). If you just want to hang out with some good friends, drink some good cocktails, and hear some live music instead of a DJ, head to Lucky’s, an underground bar on Congress. It feels like a speakeasy, but without the pretension of ice cubes engineered in a lab, or the artifice of a fake entrance through a hair salon. It’s got a menu of decent bar bites, but you should prioritize classic cocktails over wings here." - Dan Secatore
