K-Road’s most antiquated strip joint has seen a rather striking transformation – the infamous naked lady sign and unassuming exterior are still present but the front entrance is closed until 10pm. Before then a sign at front asking “Want to get lucky?” will direct you down a shadowy alleyway where a suavely suited gentleman will open a mysterious red door and usher you in. Climb the stairs and you’ll be greeted by something akin to an oriental gentlemen’s club. Red lanterns hang over dimly lit plush leather booths and waitresses rush around with plates of steaming dumplings and colourful cocktails. The dumplings are some of the best in Auckland and the cocktails are unique and reasonably priced – plus if you stay past 10pm the venue turns into a burlesque club and packs out with rowdy drinkers (make a booking quick because Lucky Lucky is only sticking around for a limited time).
