Chinese food, karaoke, skee-ball, and boozy slushies
"If you suspect that your date is a fun person (or need a foolproof way to find out), New Luck Toy is the place to go. This bar is full of paper lanterns, golden cat ornaments, pinball machines, alcoholic slushies, and delicious Chinese food. Toast with frozen prickly pear margaritas and an order of General Tso’s chicken before tearing up the skee-ball court. If your date doesn’t seem to be delighted by all of this, there’s a chance they are actually a cyborg." - aimee rizzo
"New Luck Toy is on this list for three reasons. First, the cocktails here (frozen, on-tap, or otherwise) are great. Second, you can order tasty Chinese dishes like shrimp and pork dumplings, spare ribs, and a version of General Tso’s chicken to remember. Third, you can play skee-ball or sing karaoke." - aimee rizzo
"If you’re with a group that enjoys things like spiked slushies, dumplings, and being in a good mood, keep New Luck Toy in mind. It’s a lively West Seattle bar that serves Chinese dishes like spare ribs dunked in sticky five-spice sauce and honey pecan prawns. And music is played at the perfect volume for birthdays—loud enough for you to tune in and out of conversations based on how interesting they sound." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Nothing says “I am spontaneous” like getting awesome Chinese food while playing skee-ball at a karaoke bar on a Tuesday night. New Luck Toy is a fantastic spot for partying with your friends on the weekend, but on weeknights, you’re more likely to get a table without a wait. The menu is very good across the board, from the honey pecan prawns to the salt-and-pepper spare ribs, and hanging out here is the perfect way to escape the reality that you actually need to be a functioning human tomorrow." - aimee rizzo
"You’ll usually find a couple of frozen drinks behind the bar at this fun, paper-lantern-festooned dinner spot. And they’re all refreshing, particularly New Luck Toy’s take on a piña colada that will have you humming that damn song despite yourself. It’s got a tiny umbrella and enough coconut to make you feel like you’re on a cruise, but with a whole lot more subtlety than leisure wear." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
