Bad Luck Bar is a small and luxurious speakeasy. The drinks are expensive, yet creative and worth the money. This isn’t just a place to get drinks- it’s a memorable, classy experience.

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.

Sometimes a little bad luck is all you need!Fantastically crafted cocktails in this speakeasy - no password needed for this secret location. The door is found in the alleyway near the dumpsters.

What a cool place! The ambience, from the back alley entrance to the intimate setting is a very cool atmosphere. Made a reservation so getting in was quick and easy, service was outstanding. The drinks were unique and delicious. Will definitely return!

We had never been here, just thought it would be a cool experience. When we arrived it took almost 10 minutes for someone to answer the door, it was locked. We stood in a very gross, unclean alley. When we got in, they gave us an availability of about 1 hour, so we went to wait at another place. We got a call about an hour and a half later saying a table was ready. When we arrived back, it was another 15 minutes waiting outside, then finally got inside, we had to stand in a small very hot hall for another 40 minutes with 2 other couples. When inside, the wait staff was great, drinks were very limited, but pretty good. The atmosphere was pretty cool. The front of house needs a lot of work for the price and type of location they aspire to be

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 nice and helped us out with picking the perfect cocktails for us. Andi was wonderful and seriously the best waitress - our convo was great
