Lucky 13 Now Closed, To Reopen In New Gowanus Location This Weekend


Anyone looking for the traditionally wild Halloween party at Lucky 13 Saloon this weekend will have to trek a bit north to enjoy it.

The metal bar, which opened at 273 13th Street just off 5th Avenue in 2003, closed after one last round of drinks and go-go girls this past weekend.

“Death is ruled by Scorpio (the sign of ‘sex, death and taxes’) and the number is 13, sacred to the Goddess as there are thirteen moons in a year,” they wrote on Facebook. “Death is the ultimate purifier. All things are reborn fresh, new and pure.”

The bar is, as such, being reborn in Gowanus, a plan they announced over the summer. They’re planning to open the new, larger location at 644 Sackett Street, between 3rd and 4th Avenues, this weekend — just in time for some Halloween and Day of the Dead fun.
