Lucky Horseshoe Lounge

Ambiance: 5/5Nice and cozy small Italian neighborhood lounge. They also have patio seating in the front and are dog-friendly there. They allow minors until 10 PM!Service: 5/5We came in and seated ourselves. There is a QR code where you can order with menus on the table, or you can go to a bartender to order. They didn't greet us as we came in because they were busy with other customers, but we didn't mind at all! Food and drinks were quick to come. Servers were attentive and gave us utensils and plates to share, and even changed our plates for the main course.Food: 4.7/5The food was a little expensive for smaller portions but still delicious. Pizza is only available on Mondays! * Fried Mozzarella: Came with spicy garlic marinara. Three pieces, crispy and cheesy. * Cacio e Pepe Mac & Cheese: Creamy and delicious, just what you would expect. * Rigatoni with Sunday Gravy: So yummy, our favorite dish! The long-braised beef and meatballs were the best part. Highly recommend this if you come, but it's only available on Sundays. * Long Island Iced Teas: Served in huge cups and definitely worth the buck.

Atmosphere: Nice little neighborhood spot with a couple TV's if you need. Covered and uncovered patio with a number of tables. I liked the atmosphere here. Great for a nice afternoonFood: Pizzas are good, though I was a little disappointed with the fingerling potato one. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes on a non-MondayPrice: Very reasonable prices and love that they have some cheap Old German!Service: Service has always been good when I have been in and even though they don't really show sports, they offered to put some on if I needed.Parking: Street parking

The Lucky Horseshoe is a great little neighborhood bar - so great, in fact, that even though it's not in my neighborhood I will go out of the way to go there. I chanced upon it on a whim when looking for a happy hour with outdoor seating, and came back for the promise of Sunday gravy pasta. This is the kind of place where the regulars from the neighborhood post up at the bar and where the comfort food more than matches the solid drinks being served. Happy hour is solid; the Negroni Sbagliato is super tasty, they make a mean Spritz, and the wine pours are simple yet generous. The aforementioned Sunday gravy pasta is homey and comforting. I have yet to try the other menu items, but from peeping at other folks' tables, they look tasty. The service is casual and friendly. The space is small, but in a cozy way, and there's a parklet and tables outside for sunny days. Good food, good drink, good ambiance - lucky we are, indeed!

First visit was for 2024 Sandwich Week, great lively vibe immediately upon entering. The Negroni Sbagliato on Happy Hour was oh so satisfying.Of all the sandwich entries around town, their Italian Grilled Cheese was my most anticipated to try. For one, it was one of the few thin creations, most were towering monstrosities. It was good, but not great. What would elevate it is If they used a more interesting bread such as Grand Central's Potato Bun.The homemade gelato was excellent and a good value. Small suggestion: replace the big soup spoon with a smaller dessert spoon.The crowd is predominantly "Clinton", lots of beanies and beards. Bartender was cool which was especially appreciated as it was during peak time.I look forward to returning to further explore the menu.

Meatballs were amazing. The cheese really brings out the flavor. The Paloma is perfection. Service was great.Ambiance was laidback. Great for hanging out with friends or casual date. Definitely recommend!

Found this little gem and saw how great the ratings were on @yelpportland while we were in the area.We tried the pork cutlet sandwich, cacio e pepe Mac n cheese, and the hot capicola sandwich. Everything was so good!I love the limited menu so I didn't feel overwhelmed with options. Water is self serve and you can either place an order at the bar or the QR code on the table. I have T-Mobile and my signal was weak so internet was spotty.

Great cozy vibe, super cocktails with knowledgeable bartenders and a decent happy hour. Love the ambiance and location.

A small cocktail bar on Clinton with lots of well priced and made cocktails, decent food selection with delicious pasta and salads, and great people watching as it's right next door to the theater that always play Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not busy on a Friday night which is actually really nice for a casual hangout with friends.

Consistent! Amazing classic cocktails, INCREDIBLY good specials, and just the best food a bar has put out around town lately. We ordered through the app when it was busy and that was seamless! Otherwise they're on top of your stuff, don't be afraid to walk up to them, they're really nice. Water is nearby the door to grab for yourself and sit.

One of the best places in town, both for food and drinks. Everyone who works here is really nice. It can really get busy during dinner time, but the wait is never long for good food to come out! Don't go to Monday pizza night, with different pizzas each week. Instead, save it all for me!
