Editorial Review for Good Luck Bar – by Kim Cooper
In Short
This convincing old-time Chinese dive keeps the musty mystique going with hanging paper lanterns, carved-dragon ceiling panels and big mirrors. A beautiful, keyhole-shaped doorway leads from the main bar to the back room, where would-be opium smokers lounge on low, comfy chairs and couches. Loud, romantic music ranges from Frank Sinatra to Al Green, perfect for imbibers on the prowl. The full-color folding matchbooks are among the best in town.

Insider Tips
ParkingThere are meters on Sunset on the block east of the bar, and you'll find limited street parking in the residential neighborhood to the north.
The ExtrasLocated just around the corner from the Vista Theater, the Good Luck attracts a crowd when screenings let out.
Know Before You GoYou don't need to bust out your suit to get in here, but dress casual to dressy.
What to DrinkTry the Good Luck house special, a frothy blend of amaretto, Midori, milk and fruit juice. Traditionalists can opt for a mug of Chinese herb whiskey.

i have re-visited this bar for the past 10 years, it is one of the best little bars i have been to. my husband and i had our first kiss here and many drunken nights. this is a great date night dive - plus a fun social place to gather with your trendy friends (but get there early for a good seat). the drinks are great, the bar gets busy so i suggest you order 2 drinks at a time.
Pros: great date scene
Cons: parking

Alright, so this is a really great bar. I've been here a handful of times... and I've recommended it to quite a few friends. The jukebox is good, (not f*cking incredible) the drinks are good, and the bartenders are slightly slow, but I think they always are at bars that get so crowded. (And it does get really crowded). However on a week night, it's ultra mellow for a more relaxed time... so your experience can be totally different. Only, the last time I went there the bartender charged me twice for my tab... but I took care of it and just think it was an honest mistake. Definitely worth checking out.
