Master Critic Review

Lucky Tiger 8.2
Tribeca-Civic Center
Lucky Tiger is a neon-lit cocktail and small-plates spot where Asian-inspired bar food like Korean short rib and Peking duck tacos backs up a creative drink list. FiDi crowds use it as a stylish pregame or full night out when they want something more scene-driven than a classic pub.
