I’d say the speakeasy feel and lighting makes this place cool. However I found service lacking for the $30+ cocktails especially when the staff was clearly making fun of patrons. Additionally after ordering my drink at the bar and no other patrons were at the bar was ignored till my drink was clearly emptied, staff was visibly on phones. Due to this I did not try additional drinks, service did not merit the price.

The drinks were tasty and the bar tenders were super nice. You have to walk thru an alley to get there, so it definitely has the speak easy vibe

I guess Detroit does speakeasies very well!

Bad Luck is where you turn yours around with well crafted cocktails both from the menu and upon request.

Limited seating available, so get there early, you will lose track of time either due to the vibes, the booze, or both!

By far one of the coolest places I’ve been to and had an unique selection of drinks. Good absinthe too!

It's a lovely little bar, cozy, high ceilings, nice vibe. Service was friendly except.....
The cherry toothpick garnish fell off the rim of my wife's drink, into the glass. The server REACHED INTO THE DRINK to reset it.

Secondly, their prices are OUTRAGEOUS. Look, I'm used to $15-20 cocktails when they're really good. But most of these drinks hover around $30 and aren't really all that special. Not worth it.
First and last time. Thanks.

A very dark, dismal atmosphere. Drinks were ok for over $30 a piece. Definitely not a place to go if you are feeling a little down.

Fun spot. Took a few clients after the Tigers game. Definitely has the vibe. Can only do 1 drink as the prices are high but the experience is worth a stop. Will definitely be back.

this hidden gem was very cool and perfect for an intimate date night. we had to walk through an alley to get there but it was worth it. there’s a special door to look for with a blue painting of a snake biting a finger. (no sign outside)

Bad Luck Bar might be small, but it delivers a big experience. The space is intimate, moody, and thoughtfully designed, perfect for a night out that feels a little more personal. You can actually hear the person next to you, which is rare and refreshing. The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Every drink I’ve had was delicious. Definitely a hidden gem worth seeking out.
