"We know what you’re thinking. “But Infatuation Austin, The Lucky Duck is just a bar on East 6th Street, not a speakeasy,” to which we’ll tell you to head to the back of the patio, behind the basketball arcade games, and make your way through the little wooden gate. There, you’ll find an illuminated walkway guiding you to a cozy little cocktail bar up a flight of stairs, set in an old, remodeled home. It doesn’t have a name, and it’s only open on the weekends—when it’s busy, you’ll be able to scan a QR code at that gate to add yourself to the waitlist—but if you make it inside, you’ll find yourself in a relatively quiet and cozy escape from the busy bar it’s attached to, with cocktails that are a few steps above the average bar in the area." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"A 34-year-old cafe that closed in 2019; the cafe previously occupied the same 94 Avenue A at East Sixth Street space that is being proposed for takeover by the planned second location of the longtime West Village burger restaurant." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Lucky Duck is a popular bar on East Sixth Street that feels a little bit like a Rainey Street transplant that moved east for cheaper rent. It’s also home to a massive patio in the back with a second bar, food trucks, a few arcade games, and an unnamed speakeasy with its own entrance." - Nicolai McCrary
"A little quirky and a little quacky, this East Austin bar is a quintessentially casual Austin hangout with its sprawling patio, killer draft cocktails, and an on-site food truck for whenever you need a little sustenance. We suggest the super bubbly Lucky Spritz: Grey Goose Essences, Martini & Rossi Fiero, lemon juice, soda, and prosecco." - Vox Creative
"Nearby sandwich shops... food truck Lucky’s Italian Sandwiches, which is parked at East Sixth bar The Lucky Duck." - Nadia Chaudhury
