Montecito locals, regulars and visitors alike have been asking the same question since 1953. Back then it was the Pink Squirrel, then Ireland's in the 60's, The Chanteclair in the 70's, The Grill in the 1980's and the Coast Village Grill in the 1990's.
But since the year 2000, it has been the bar at LUCKY'S, Montecito's neighborhood hangout: the place to come for a drink, a burger, or a multi-course meal…or perhaps a chance to order food to go, while taking a breather before heading home. Whatever your reason, Lucky’s Bar is a great place to hang out.
It doesn't matter what kind of Montecito local you are, full time, part time or once a year, LUCKY'S bar, with its old school, photo covered, wainscoted walls and friendly staff will always be there for you.
So, the answer to the question is yes, it is a bar-- the best kind of bar, with the kind of food only a great restaurant like LUCKY'S can deliver. .
