What People Are Saying About Luckie Food Lounge

Featured Review

Contributor

In Short – This downtown spot next to the Georgia Aquarium is a new favorite of the suave urban crowd. Neon blue bathes everything from the cool saltwater aquariums at the entrance to the sushi bar to the big rectangular bar in the middle of the room. Tiered seating and VIP booths in the open flowing space allow guests to be seen as they sip their Crown Royal.

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
It's worth the effort to figure out the cool futuristic faucets in the restroom. Go even if you don't have to.
Know Before You Go:
You'll have to drop $5 on the valet.
The Extras:
While it's become a popular nightspot, the Luckie also does a brisk lunch business. "Charm" is the name of the area with to-go options. It's a good place to stop in while sightseeing downtown.
ambiance
85.71000099182129% positive
  1. At least, some of the food was good and the decor and inside is really nice.
  2. The atmosphere of the place would be great for groups.
  3. The atmosphere is smooth and swanky, the service was very good; however, I don't think we will be returning.
  4. This place is beautiful, the ambiance is spectacular, and the throw back videos of Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson really set the place off.
  5. went hoping for a romantic evening, not really knowing what to expect.
  6. Note to the owners, although your decor is nice it does take a hell of a lot more then that to bring people back in the door a second time.
  7. Luckie has a very nice decor and is quite spacious.
  8. Finally, the valet parking was very slow.
  9. agree with that information, because we liked the atmosphere, the service, and the cocktails.
  10. The decor was very cool, but it was filled with the aquarium crowd.
  11. But only part of the night could be considered romantic, and that's when the slow songs and somewhat muted lighting were on.
  12. The decor is amazing from the entrance to the restrooms, the atmosphere was relaxed and the people, beautiful.
  13. Great atmosphere for sports fans.
  14. The pricing is fair and the atmosphere is awesome!
dessert
58.33000183105469% positive
  1. If they lose that silly policy of charging to serve your own cake for large parties who order food/drinks, and loose that "manager" Tony, all will be well.
  2. didn't support the fluff description in the menu, I'm big on a good dessert.
  3. The dessert however (coconut cake), was dry, too sweet, and stale.
  4. Afterwards, the food came some plates were cold, 2 arrived when everyone else had finished; we also brought our own birthday cake and were told we were going to be charged $3 per person for a cutting fee since we were using their spoons and plates.
  5. The cakes and apple pie are outstanding but not worth the poor service or cover charge.
  6. Great Atmosphere, good food, bad policy on bringing your own cake for parties
drinks

  1. Prior to my experience last Friday my opinion was average at best, food is mediocre to poor but the bar is nice and the bartenders are WAY cool.
  2. If they lose that silly policy of charging to serve your own cake for large parties who order food/drinks, and loose that "manager" Tony, all will be well.
  3. Aquariums, a full sushi bar, a wonderful wood-fired pizza oven, a performance stage, and a chic little bistro, Charm.
  4. have to say though my sushi was really good and so were my drinks.
  5. It's a swanky spot, with TV's galore, an open kitchen, sushi bar, and overall nice layout.
  6. The bar scene is good and the drinks are g.

  16. Wow, I've never been to a restaurant, or lounge that you couldn't order food from the bar when the kitchen is open until 2.
  17. Nice building design, terrible service, food and drinks.
  18. ordered a Lychee Flirtini--lychee juice and champagne--one of the best fruity drinks I've ever had--not too sweet--was very refreshing.

One Night At Luckie...................WIN!!!

by Mike J 78

I went to Luckie this past week and it was straight. I've been to Opera, Compound, Velvet Room, etc. But I still like this place a little better. The vibe was straight hot! All the people were dressed nice, the drinks were good, and Oh Oh......Oh.Oh.....Oh....Oh ...OH MY GOD! the ladies were lovely. And I had a couple of drinks so I started to get a little hungry. And low and be hold, they even had food. No "Awful Waffle" tonight! (Waffle House, in case you didn't know)

I'm not originally from Atlanta so you know you hear a lot about the lifestyles here. And the good times that you'll have. I can definitely say I f***s with Luckie "the long way." I can definitely say one evening at Luckie...................WIN!!!!

Greatest Party Spot In Atlanta

by valley86

My friends and I had dinner and the ultimate VIP experience afterwards on the SkyDeck for my 30th birthday. The hostess, wait staff and management made us feel extremely comfortable. The prices were moderate for such an upscale venue.This was the greatest birthday ever thanks to Luckie Lounge. This was my first visit but it wont be my last!!!

  • Pros: SkyDeck, Sushi, Atmosphere, EVERYTHING!!!
  • Cons: NONE

expensive place

by SimplyGeorge

This can be an expensive place to go to. There's a valet charge, a cover charge, and the drinks are also expensive. The wait staff is very snooty and made my friend feel dumb when she asked about a drink.

  • Cons: rude staff

Not a sophisticated place, cheap people looking for rich men

by cutepeachATL

I've been there and I know quite a few people worked or working there. Valet Parking- $20. To get in the venue $20 or $40- the money is not for the restaurant but those promotors. Hostess will charge you if you look rich- $100 for table- of course you can negotiate, they money is going to their pocket- not the restaurant policy. Coat check is supposed to free but they will charge you for $5 so that they can make money. Some workers also can charge you less entrance fee and let you in from the backdoor for $15 or $20. Food is great, but those no class customers have no appreciation for a great food.... such a shame. Wed is industry night, girls who want to find rich men will be there with skinpy clothes, order water until somebody will get them in to the VIP. Services are OK, but it seems that they are busy taking care of everybody at the same time no individual attention. If you are classy, sophisticated adult who want to enjoy nice environment, this is not the place to go. Broke people acting rich, like somebody said in the previous review, that is correct. Or extremely rich people want to show off buying $3000 bottle you can buy at the store for $250. Either way, difinately not for a cool chill adults. You will be amazed by how ghuetto people act in this supposed to be ATL's hottest venue. lol. Good luck.

  • Pros: Looks nice, that's about it. Food is great but nobody knows.
  • Cons: Everything else from management to customers
