Horrible experience at Lucky's Bar. Despite being well over 21 years old, I was subjected to an absurd interrogation about every detail on my ID. The situation escalated when the staff decided to scan my ID with some unspecified app and announced publicly that it was fake. Despite my attempts to provide alternative forms of identification to prove my age, the staff refused to consider any other options and promptly asked us to leave the premises. As we waited for our ride outside, the staff continued to gossip and speak poorly of us, further adding insult to injury. I urge anyone considering a visit to Lucky's Bar to think twice. The blatant disregard for customer dignity and the unprofessional behavior of the staff make it clear that this establishment is not worthy of your time or money. Save yourself the trouble and seek out a more reputable and respectful venue.

"Reserved" a table for a birthday--which cost a nonrefundable $50 (and no it does not get applied to your check either)-- only to walk in and see many open tables. We were forced to wait TWO hours to put food orders in-- we were starving and finally begged for some chips and salsa. We had a party of 8 so we went through that pretty fast and when we asked for another order, the server said we would ruin our appetite and didn't give us any more food. We were then allowed to order an hour later and honestly, the food was not worth it. We should have left sooner but they kept saying it would only be a bit longer before we could order and we had paid the nonrefundable 50 so felt obligated to stay. Nothing was done or offered for this experience-- needless to say we will never be back. I only gave two stars because the live music was good

Fish was very heavily breaded - both cod and walleye. Good portion size.Dog inside restaurant was a little interesting...left us alone but was begging food off the table behind us.

Great place! We have been performing here for years. It never fails to be a blast! Sometimes service is a little slow, but that is every where due to short staff issues. Atmosphere is wonderful!

I've been coming here for years, this place is a nice place, they remodeled the place since the last time I was here and have to say the new layout is so much nicer than before , I had the sausage pizza and it was remarkably good , I would definitely have it again, the bartenders were on top of it and made a great old fashion. I will continue to come back. I also have to say that everyone of the customers were some of the friendliest folks I ever met.

Horrible, I wanted to love this bar. I'm new in town, but I was kicked out for not being dressed appropriately. I had a dress on over a swimsuit on a lake side bar.

Becoming one of our favorite spots for live music. They have a knack for booking high energy bands that people respond to. Nice location on Lake Wisconsin.
They don't take reservations so have to wait for seating, especially on the weekends. The chicken strips were very good and the fried green beans were amazing. The band,Midnight Angels, that were playing were top notch. A very enjoyable experience. Was my first time there. Will definitely be going back.

Bands are usually great, often too loud to talk. Great food, great seating, parking atmosphere. Just turn down the amplifiers a bit, especially if it's 2 PM.

Would like to begin with we walked in from the bar next door. Live music at both places. We ordered 2 jager bombs and a seltzer water. Bartender came back with $18 back on 2 $20 bills so $23 in total. Wouldn’t look at us and tell us what we got charged for.. so had them bring up itemized receipt. Told it was band pricing and gave us 4 dollars back even though the total was $16 still gave us the itemized and $4 back… not even math. The guy is the assistant varsity basketball coach in Lodi. Should stick to that!!! Cause he is recluse and does not belong behind a bar! I will never be back. And will not recommend to anyone! Don’t take advantage of a good thing you will not have anything. Have a boat on lake Wisconsin and will tell you terrible experience. All they do is over charge and party on their own accord.

I truly had a great experience there as a first time visitor! Fantastic live music outside. Fish fry was delicious and the servers were super fun!
