Lucky Magees

I'm a horseplayer, and often heading to Lucky Magee's is a heck of a lot more convenient then schlepping up to Arlington to watch the races. Food is OK, service is usually pretty bad, but there are plenty of televisions all around and the beer is priced to move. I'm also a sucker for the '20s-style decor.

If you've never been to an OTB and you just have to see one, but don't want that "I could be robbed at any moment" feeling, this is probably your place.

When you walk into this place its like walking into a card game in the basement.  Real heavy feeling.  Kinda like you might not be walking out.  The smell of smoke is still inside after all the years of smoking.  The tv's are still from the 80's.  I'll give it to them though the staff is friendly but who wouldn't be friendly when there making all that money.  I'd rather go to Vegas or Arlignton Off track

I went here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon.  It was a lot of fun.  We sat in the restaurant for lunch.  Each table has 2 tv screens.  The wait staff was very attentive and friendly.  I called the day before and spoke with the manager about details.  He was very helpful and described the establishment perfectly.  It is a lot more lively and fun in the main room with the big screens and bar. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I tried to pull up their website and it said it was suspended.  The manager seemed to know about this.  I thought because of this it was out of business.  Otherwise,  I would definitely recommend.
