For Karaoke, you need 2 or more people in a group and when I go to LIC, it IS just and only little ole me and this is it!! James (the owner) IS a very nice person to talk to and he is very friendly businessman also!! Whenever I am there online and an UNpleasant and or OBJECTIONAL and or UNappealing and or DISagreeable person comes in for whatever reason and or reasons, James IS very quick to deal with the person in question and IS very professional also!! I really do like the fact that LIC is open Monday to Thursday until 12am and on BOTH Friday and Saturday Nights, it is open until 2am and on Sunday Nights, it is opened until 11pm!!

TL;DR: Chaotic, fun, and not for everyone. Go for a show,…read morestay longer than planned. If you're nearby and there's a drag show, it's worth going. It's fun, different, and a welcome disruption to the usual Victoria vibe. Vibe: Wizard of Oz-themed gay bar with zero subtlety. Loud, campy, and a sharp contrast to the rest of Victoria's generally polite energy. Not really a place straight couples need to linger unless there's a show. Drinks: Strong and fast. These are drinks, not cocktails, and that's exactly right for the room. Entertainment: We caught a Taylor Swift-themed drag show. I'm very much not a Swift fan, my girlfriend is, and we both had a good time. The performers carried the night. What could be better: If there's no show, the appeal drops fast unless this is already your scene.

This may be a gay bar by night, but there's nothing queer about the brunch menu here, folks!…read more My wife and I spotted this place the night before, when it was lit up in all manner of multichromatic madness, gleaming and glittering gaily, with pulse-pounding tunes pouring down the adjacent alleyway. The interior décor intrigued me, but as we had our toddler son with us, we couldn't enter during the "adult" hours, but we resolved to return in the morning for their legendary "best brunch in Victoria". Did it live up to its reputation? YAAAS QUEEN, SLAY those taste buds! My wife ordered the Homemade Maple Bacon, drizzled in mezcal cheese and accompanied by similarly glitzed-up scrambled eggs, roti flatbread, and a light salad with vinaigrette. After waffling back and forth over two dishes, I went with the ambiguously named "Tomatoes" which, as expected included tomatoes, of course, resting on a bed of a soft, moist cheese similar to queso fresco, dressed in chili crunch oil with peanuts and topped with spinach. It was wonderful, with my only regret being there wasn't enough of it. I had decided against the Steak and Eggs, as I'd wanted something lighter for breakfast, but in the end, what I'd ordered was a little too light for me. No matter; I helped the wife finish her meal as well, so everything worked out! I will say, though, that menus that lean in a little too far into brevity when it comes to the description of their entrées for the sake of being cute should probably rethink this strategy, and in all honesty, $16 CAD is a little steep for a dish this paltry in size, no matter how good it is. Alright, I've been enough of a basic bitch about nitpicky things, so let's put a bow on this review, slap its backside and send it on it's way! The "Lions, Tigers and Bears" cocktail was a frisky, refreshing take on my favorite, the Old Fashioned, and my pregnant wife's (virgin) Caesar may have been Bloody Mary-red, but it left me green with envy after a couple sips! I would be hard-pressed to choose between the view on our (inevitable) return visit to Victoria which, I hope, will be far sooner than later. For now, we'll be somewhere over the rainbow back home, waiting for a tornado to whisk us up and fling us back over the border. Vancouver may be the true Emerald City, but the yellow brick road leads directly to Friends of Dorothy in Victoria!

Copper Owl is an absolutely sweet place to hang out. I've only been here the one time for a show…read morethat some friends were playing but I absolutely loved the environment. Yes, it is absolutely a hipster spot and I felt like I wasn't cool enough to be there, but when has that ever stopped me before? They feature sweet local artists all the time (I swear, I'm always seeing some cool shows taking place here!) and they have some killer acoustics in the place. I had some tasty, cheap beers on tap and danced like a total fool, exactly the things that I need to live a fun-filled, funk-filled life! Also, one thing that totally threw me off was the padding around the bar. You can lean forward and it's like you're drinking on a cloud. 10/10, every bar ever should have this, I will make sure that they do when I become Supreme Chancellor of the Universe!

If you're coming to Lucky it's for one of two reasons: 90's night or a concert. I've never really…read morebeen here for any other occasion really. 90's night. One of Victoria's favourite nights out dancing the night away to Spice Girls, TLC and Backstreet Boys. Beware the long lines though. Make sure to get you and your pals on guest list to avoid the lines. The staff at Lucky are awesome and I've seen them put up with a lot. As most bar staff usually do when dealing with hundreds of intoxicated guests. The bartenders are all super friendly and efficient. Make sure to ask them to do a shot out of the shot-ski. The bar itself is fairly small. There's one large bar and the dance floor fills up fairly quickly. Hence why there are such long lines. I found that whenever I went to Lucky's I ran into tons of people I knew. Maybe that's just the university scene though. I haven't been to a 90's night in forever and I kind of miss it. Maybe on my next trip to Victoria?

The bar is a great place. I was visiting from Los Angeles, CA and came to Victoria for the first…read moretime. I was shocked by how friendly the staff and people were. I was talking to the bartenders, patrons, and bouncers and they were all very friendly. I was just gonna stay in my hotel room and I was glad to have such a welcoming experience. HOWEVER, please watch out for two people that said their names are Dominique and Joey. I was trying to be friendly with them and as a common courtesy, got the first round. The bartender even made a local Victorian drink (which tasted like chocolate milk). However, when the bar closed, we went next door to get more drinks. I figured, common courtesy, someone else will get the next round, but we got separate tabs. When the bill came, the two ran out. The local that introduced me to them paid for their bill, but I gave a $20 USD and hope that was enough to cover their share. The bar is a great place and I would definitely go back. As a person who comes from the pretentious city of LA (and is always cautious of being hustled), I have never had such a genuine introduction to Canadians. However, please watch out for those two. I loved how the bar even had a pay it forward drink chalk board. You can prepay for drinks for future patrons. Had I stayed longer, I was going to buy drinks for the people I met there (and would have been a great Thank you for the locals since I was only there for one night). However, do watch out for these two scammers. I would never want what had happen to me happened to other visitors. Despite this, continue to support Lucky Bar as the staff is fantastic.
