Bad Luck Bar Detroit Reviews
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 staff are helpful and informative.
We went here for my birthday drinks prior to our dinner
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 Horus. I was very disappointed though that after serving me the Horus, the part of the drink that they catch on fire fell off onto my lap and burned multiple holes into my dress along with causing a mild burn to my skin. I told the server and she said "sorry I don't know how to fix that." I asked for a marker to at least try to color in some of the gray marks from the melted material of my dress. I feel like with how expensive the drinks are that they might have handled the situation better or offered a drink or something. It was disappointing that I had to finish the rest of the night with a dress with burn marks and holes in it.
10/10 favorite bar everrrrr.
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 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 recommendations. Menu changes often and just oozes creativity. Expect to pay ~$25/cocktail, but they're worth it. Presentation is clearly thought out for each drink they craft and they're happy to make riffs on classics or make up something new for you as well if nothing else gets you excited. Hard to get a reservation, so better plan ahead for this one, but it's well worth the experience!
AMAZING atmosphere and everyone who worked there was really
AMAZING atmosphere and everyone who worked there was really nice and helped us out with picking the perfect cocktails for us. Andi was wonderful and seriously the best waitress - our convo was great

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 recommend making a reservation on the weekends, but they do allow walk ins. We visited on a Thursday evening and they were able to seat us quite quickly.
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,
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; some sort of hot toddy and it was very good. My friends and I each had three drinks, which as you imagine was pretty expensive for this place. Mine were: -Persephone: good but with licorice undertones, aka absinthe I think, so wasn't my favorite. -Concordia: very "alcohol-forward," as our friends said, and not entirely for me; to me it tasted like boozy cough syrup. -The Fifth Eye: my favorite of the bunch. Definitely tasted like pineapple and coconut, as promised, and came with a sidecar of spicy pineapple Pop Rocks, which was pretty interesting. Presentation was exquisite here. That being said, I did think the prices were really high, hence why it gets four stars from me instead of five. Most drinks are $24-29, but my fiance and a friend did have one each that was $50. Other reviews said here that they use top shelf liquor and I believe it, but that's way out of my price range on a normal night out. Definitely make sure you make a reservation for this place, also; we did Mabel Grey for dinner then came here, and one of our friends planned all of it which was super nice. I would come back here again because the ambience was pretty cool, but with the price range it would definitely have to be a special night out or special occasion.
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. All of the drinks are very creative and there is nothing generic about them at all. It's a small cozy space and love the fact that the entrance is very unassuming down an alley. Highly recommended!

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
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 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 DistinguishedTree58 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, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58'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.
