Lucky Boys

Dive Bar Oasis located in the Westbottoms. Lucky Boys is the definition of no frills, but it has a unique identity. It knows what it is (and subsequently what it is not). I imagine full-heartly that Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson would approve of Lucky Boys and could be found clandestinely puffing on a cigarette in the back by the now defunct cigarette machine. It is dark, dare I say a tad bit dingy, and I don't think they serve PBR, but Hamms is definitely offered. It's that kind of place...cold cans of beer aren't paired with a glass, and that's just okay. Just in case you're a tap beer person, be warned they almost exclusively carry LogBoat taps which are out of Columbia. So, if you aren't familiar with LogBoat Snapper IPA's, my personal choice, then you may be trying something new you aren't familiar with but, you won't be getting a domestic on draft. Also, did I mention there's a pool table? The food menu is comprised of a few well-done bar food options, most of which are served between two buns, but if pizza is more your beer buddy of choice have no fear because fortunati pizzeria is attached and available for ordering. But believe me, the sandwiches and fries are so worthy of an order. The now extinct fish sandwich was my favorite, but have no fear they have hinted at a new fish favorite (maybe a shrimp roll) being added to the menu soon. The hot chicken sandwich is excellent, and so is the burger. Nothing here misses if you come in with your expectations being set at a handheld meal that compliments drinking and not with a stuffy attitude. Caution you may get messy. The burger is savage, dripping with the good stuff and covered in melted orange-yellow cheese. But, my go-to now is Lucky Boy's take on a hot chicken sandwich fried golden brown, crispy, and with just a hint of spice. The coleslaw accompanying it wasn't too wet and was mild in flavor, adding just a nice cut of freshness and creaminess to the fried salty sandwich. Mentioning being fried, the fries themselves are textbook. They're "golden brown and delicious" while being in between thick and thin and also still maintaining the true essence of potato. I can't wait to try the poutine promised to be loaded with cheese curds and smothered with brown gravy. Anything with those fries as a base is a money dish, I would suggest chili cheese fries of some sort for the fall because that would fit in nicely with the menu. It's a small but mighty showing for a small but magnificent bar. Lucky Boys has gotten lucky with the perfect mix of kitsch and nostalgia. It's like a 90s country song or a great burger it never goes out of style.

Love this dive bar! Everyone is so nice and the food is great. Their poutine is my absolute favorite and the pizza is delicious too. The burger was good but basic compared to how good the rest of the food is. I love the atmosphere with interesting and funny pictures on the wall and graffiti in the bathroom. A great place to chill with friends.

If you're looking for you new dive bar look no further! Not only are they selling you drinks till 2am but they have the best mushroom gravy poutine in Kansas City. On Tuesday and Thursday they have there homemade pizzas as the only option for food but you won't be disappointed. You can add any topping that you can think of... most likely they have it!

Lucky Boys is a classic bar & lounge in the West Bottoms of Kansas City that offers great bar drinks and excellent bar food items. Some of their food options include pizza, poutine fries, burgers, phillys & more. Thursday night is pizza night at Lucky Boys. We ordered a vodka sauce pizza with cheese, pepperoni, jalapeños, mushrooms, and arugula...YUM! If you go on a night that poutine is on the menu...do NOT miss out because they serve the best poutine fries I've ever had! There is a even a pool table here if you enjoy playing pool. I highly recommend checking out Lucky Boys while exploring in the KC West Bottoms.

I LOVED this place! Lucky Boys has been on my radar for a long time and I aways hear such great things about it. We finally went one night and I am so happy we did. We walked in and immediately both loved the vibe. The portrait paints on one of the walls were awesome and so fun to look at. Where else are you going to find a portrait of Jesus next to Elvis next to Willie Nelson. We sat down and looked over the menu- which didn't take long because the menu is rather small. Personally I love places with a small menu, not too many options and easy to decide. I ordered the burger and my boyfriend ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Both were AMAZING! After we ate we enjoyed two games of pool. If you want to play pool, there is a coin machine right next to it, since the pool table requires coins to play. It was the perfect dive bar and we have not stopped talking about it. We are without a doubt going back,

Great playlist with good service. With hesitantly delicious martinis by Jamie. Dan is the best. Come here to drink with a buddy.

First things first, I'm a sucker for a great dive bar. As much as I can enjoy a trendy speakeasy, or an upscale taproom, I'd take a charming dive bar over a classy rooftop bar just about any day. To be completely honest I wasn't sure what to expect at Lucky Boys. The name doesn't offer much of an idea of ambiance, and all I had to go off of was that it's a favorite bar of a good friend of mine. I was a few minutes early to a party and walked in blind. As my eyes adjusted to the endless night that this bar provides, I realized I might have found the best true dive bar in KC. I'm sure it's partially the best right now because it's such a hidden gem - and while that phrase is thrown out there a lot, it really does apply here. I'm not sure if the best part about this bar are the velvet paintings that adorn the walls, the unpretentious bartenders, or the fact that they have on tap beer from a very small micro brewery in STL that I'd previously not heard of, it's all great. Nothing is supremely clean here, though the restrooms I found to be totally fine. It's like that perfect basement bar you had at college where all your friends hung out, nobody cared about the time, and the drinks were not $20 each. All in all I can't wait to come back.

This place is definitely a dive bar. I met a friend here on a Friday night since we were going out later to a concert close by. There is definitely a dark decor with many odd paintings on the wall (sorry, I didn't get pics of any of them) ranging from various animals to Jesus to matadors. There is a long bar, which is where we sat, and then there are tables around and pool. The menu is a raggedy piece of paper with about 5 items. We decided to split the Louisville hot chicken sandwich. The bartender was odd but nice and matched the aura of the place. The food came out pretty quickly and was hot to the touch, but it had not even a touch of spice to it. Even though it wasn't spicy, it was good and plenty to share. The fries were really good, too. They had some sort of batter on them. The bathroom was also interesting, plenty of funny reading entertainment on the walls. It seems like a lot of regulars come here, but I didn't feel outta place or unwelcome. I would come back and eat again, have a drink and maybe attempt to play pool.

Amazing dive bar. It is gem in the west bottoms. We went on. Thursday for pizza night. It is Observation pizza dough and you get to pick your toppings. Really there is not much better then drinks, pizza, and velvet art work!!!

Bartender was unbelievably rude...I've never experienced someone screaming at me and also for no reason in the service industry. Will not be returning.
