Lucky Day - Buffalo

1st time here. Steak was incredible. I was fully satisfied with my experience and the whole vibe after spending an evening with friends here.

Great food, great atmosphere but awkward towards Black people. The hostess and the wait staff are very rude. The employees need Bias and DEI training ASAP

The first time I went here was with my girlfriend; we had an amazing dinner, the atmosphere and the waitress were fantastic. However it 's the second and third time that lead to my refusal to return. Several months ago a friend of mine, who 's a whiskey nut, was in from out of town and I thought he would have a good time at this bar. Everything was fine until by mistake I pushed the glass cleaner at the bar which sprayed water into the air. At that point, embarrassed, I tried to apologize and give the bartender a tip as an apology. She has walked into the area between the bar kitchen and dining areas. Several employees then decided to scream in my face and tell me I was out of line, couldn 't go back there, and threw insults. It was at this point that someone came out of the kitchen and used a racial epithet towards the girl I was there with. It was at THIS point it became nearly a fist fight, which I take responsibility for. We left and haven 't been back for several months. Just tonight my friend and I went in to get a drink just by ourselves, going to put the past behind us and wipe the slate clean. However the bartender, instead of admitting the wrong that one of his colleagues had done it trying to have a clean start, refused service and when told the reason for last time 's altercation, said well maybe you deserved it. Neither of you are getting served here. It 's on this basis that I refuse to ever give another dollar to this place. No one deserves racism thrown at them. Nobody deserves petulant arrogance. And no one should have to pay for the mistakes of others. It 's obvious that this establishment is run by snobs or at least employees them. It also seems that everyone there is complacent in the disgrace of their colleagues.

Just an unreal unexpected gem in the middle of Buffalo

My wife and I had an absolutely horrible experience at Lucky Day Whiskey Bar. My wife and I recently got married in Buffalo and we figured we would stop by for a drink after our reception with our wedding party. As soon as we entered the bar the staff was nothing but rude and impolite. None of the wedding party was loud or acting inappropriate. The staff treated us horrifically. They were rude, short, nasty, and they couldn’t be bothered with us even though we picked their bar as a stop after our wedding day. It was super sad for my wife and I on our special wedding day. Lucky Day Whiskey does not represent what Buffalo is all about. If you’re looking for a nice place to grab a drink at the end of the day I would stay away. There are plenty of other restaurants and bars in Buffalo that would love to take care of you.
