Editorial Review for Kingman's Lucky Lounge – by Giancarlo Davis
The Scene
This large space combines urban chic with turn-of-the-century elegance. A large curved bar with several stools is located to the left and a spacious lounge with comfortable leather couches makes up the rear. Edwardian chandeliers bathe the room in a hazy red light, making it a cozy, sexy venture. Call-liquor drinks are typically $5 and up.
The Draw
On a daily basis, DJs spin funk and soul, promoting a lively energy. This is the hippest spot on the block (which may not being saying a lot) and the clientele dresses up--cocktail dresses, pressed shirts, slacks. The smattering of folks sporting jeans and T-shirts bring a welcomed sense of comfort.

Kingmans is terrific! 1st off it is a great lounge to hang out with friends.. red walls, soft lighting and couches describe the place... Dj's everynight.. usually start around 830 or 9... bartenders are a lot of fun and seem to know there cocktails well and always willing to work with the customer for that special drink... They specialize in martini's and have a great drink menu... also from 5 to 8 is happy hour 1$ off bottle beer and wine and $2 off well drinks...and from 8 to 9 is lucky hour and it is half off well so can get a cosmo for $4.00 every day of the week.. finally it is nice to hang out with friends listen to great music and not have to cross the bridge... lots of restaurants in the neighborhood for a quick bite or dinner as well...hint city parking 1 street behind!

We went to the Lucky Lounge a few weeks ago for the first time for my birthday party on a Friday and had a great time. The bartenders were a lot of fun and made the best cocktails. The crowd was very diverse with a lot of early twenties to thirties professionals who were more about having fun than being seen. And the DJ spun a smooth groove. It's like being in the city without the drive. Since then, I've been back a few times during the week when it's mellower and it's a great place during the early evening to bring some friends and hang out. Thanks Lucky Lounge--you're now on my permanent list of places to go.
Pros: Great Crowd, Yummy Cocktails, Excellent Service
