Bad Luck Bar Detroit Reviews
Bad Luck bar is an abosolute gem.
First of all, as far speakeasies go, this gets it in that it's hidden down an alley that under old city conditions would probably get your fight or flight juices rolling, but in the new city it's just a little stinky from the trash. But do
This place is very overpriced.
Plan for $27-$32 cocktails which is just absurd. The drinks my table of 4 had were mediocre at best - not one person truly enjoyed their drinks. They also don't typically answer their phone or respond to emails if you have questions, or god forb

Definitely make your reservations, very small place but drinks were good! Staff was sweet.

Tucked away in an Alley In downtown Detroit is a true speakeasy style bar. WOW. The outside is a little off putting but once in the door the ambiance is unreal. Menu rotates and the selections are true works of art. Give this place a try
This place is awesome.
It took us a second to find but thanks to yelp we were able to find the door. The ambiance of this speakeasy is beautiful. The waiter was very informative and really kind. The Japanese whiskey I ordered was phenomenal. We will for sure be coming back
This is such a cool speakeasy.
It is located in an alley in downtown Detroit. Once you find the door you go in and if there are seats available then you can get a drink. The inside is pretty small so I would make sure to come early if you really want to go. The ambiance is amazing
Immediately yes! This place is hidden nicely in an alley.
This was my second speak easy of the night and I am impressed. Inside is low lighting soft music and very limited seating. We were lucky when we came because two people were leaving. I had the Fruit of Mount Ida drink and it was delicious. They gave

BadLuck Bar was the first Detroit Speakeasy I found, it has a special place in my heart. It is still one of the best bars I've been to, the small size means service is always amazing, but it also can mean it is a challenge to get in especially

The most amazing speakeasy bar!! It might actually be too good on the "speakeasy" part a sits actually pretty hard to find -- it is indeed in an alley and you have to walk prey deep in until you see the neon signage. Their cocktail menu h
BLB is still one of my favorite bars in the city.
The complexity of flavors that goes into each drink is one that deserves to be so celebrated. I had a riff on a dirty martini, one that craft fully joined savory, salty, acid for a complex sip every time.
The first stop while we bar hopped.
My boyfriend hadn't been to a speakeasy and his friend who was showing us around decided that this would be a fun one to try. All the drinks were aesthetically pleasing and good. I had the air zephyr which was pretty and had good flavor. The who
Great Ambience.
. Excellent drinks and service.. these people know their DRINKS Highly Recommend this place.
Bad Luck and Bad Service Ruined a Promising Experience
The drinks are creative and the space is unique, but the service was a major letdown. We asked a few questions at the bar, and the server seemed annoyed, even ignoring us and rolling his eyes. It made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. The poor att
Cool vibes.
Small but well done. One of the higher priced joints. Worth a visit for one or two.
A fun 90 minutes!
There are two things you need to do to enjoy your visit: make a reservation (for a 90 minute visit) and walk through the back alley to enter. When you enter you walk into a small speakeasy setting. The cocktails are creative and delicious. The sta

We went here for my birthday drinks prior to our dinner plans. The vibe at Bad Luck Bar was fun and original. All of the drinks were unique and tasty. My husband had the fifth sun and Leshy which he really enjoyed and I had the Persephone and the Hor

Drinks are so cool, unique, different. I love how it's a small, intimate spot. Highly recommend

The most creative cocktails in Detroit? I think this fits the bill. Complete with delightful, weird, shady alley entrance. Love it. Inside is an intimate spot with room for only a small set of tables. Service is prompt and friendly, with great recomm

I mean if you're reading this review, just do yourself a favor and stop in. The ambiance alone is worth it in my opinion. The cocktails do not disappoint. They have a menu that has something for everyone. Service here has always been great. I recomme
Super cool ambiance at this speakeasy bar.
Each drink came out to us with a unique experience and tasted amazing.

Bad Luck Bar had been on my list to try for a while now, and I finally got to go last night, with my fiance and two friends. The drinks and their presentation were pretty neat. They start you off with a welcome drink, as others have mentioned here;
Quite simply one of the best bars in America.
The drama of the ambiance paired with the inventive cocktails makes the cocktails worth the investment.
Great speakeasy with wonderful with people.
The drinks are pricey but worth it and each one has its own little experience. For a splurge, check it out.
A true taste of class in Detroit.
The perfect little hidden speakeasy with the stunning atmosphere, a place you deafly must try when you're in town even to just have one drink.
Amazing bar for anyone looking for something not generic
We discovered this bar several years ago after randomly searching the area for bars to go to after dinner and we've been going every year since. The drinks are super pricey but ABSOLUTELY worth it for the time and effort they put into each drink.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bad Luck Bar Detroit at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bad Luck Bar Detroit page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Bad Luck Bar Detroit to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bad Luck Bar Detroit!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
