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.

This is one of those Hollywood and neighborhood classics. Anytime is a great time to go, but Thursday's and Weds are some of my favorite days when crowds aren't overwhelming. Wonderful decor, tons of fun, good bartenders and fair prices.

1. The WORST drinks I've had since I moved to Los Angeles(7 years ago). $8 and watered down to the point that even the bouncer said the drinks were bad. 2. If you like women, go elsewhere, the crowd while nice was less than desirable. 3. No hat policy? What is this Massachusetts? Well if it was MA they'd allow Gay marriage so somewhere this whole state and within this state this bar has gone HORRIBLY wrong. Do not go here.

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.

Parking:
There 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 Extras:
Located just around the corner from the Vista Theater, the Good Luck attracts a crowd when screenings let out.
What to Drink:
Try 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.
Know Before You Go:
You don't need to bust out your suit to get in here, but dress casual to dressy.
