Lucky 13 Closing 13th Street Saloon, Moving North

Looks like we’re losing our metal bar, South Slope.

Lucky 13 Saloon, which opened on 13th Street and 5th Avenue in 2003, is moving to a larger location (shown above) at 644 Sackett Street (between 3rd and 4th Avenues), and will close the original bar in the next couple of months.

Owner Melody Henry, who makes a killer absinth cocktail, posted the following to the bar’s Facebook page on June 27:

Some of you were there to hear the announcement at out summer solstice show – we are movin’ on up! Though we will miss the space we’ve been in for 11 years it’s time to grow and to get the hell away from neighbors where we can have more shows and generally be the wild creatures we were meant to be! This does however mean NOW is the time to come visit us on 13th street as it will be our last month or two there. Come make some memories that will last a lifetime.  And congratulate us on amazing things to come.

No word yet on an official opening date, but we’ll update the site as more information becomes available.

The neighborhood won’t be the same without the Lucky 13 gogo girls! We’re raising a glass to you, Melody. Best of luck in the new location.
