Lucky Coq

My favourite bar/​pub in Melbourne! The bar itself is clean with a wide array of drinks and the pizzas are pretty damn good. Best part about this place is the rooftop courtyard, as well as being gorgeous you’re able to chat and meet a bunch of people there. Plus, the security guys are actually nice for a change. Nice place to start your night or finish it whether it be a crazy night or a few drinks with friends Lucky Coq is really accommodating.

Lucky Coq
Windsor, Melbourne
Aug 21, 2014
Terrible crowd, dirty inside, awful music, dirty toilets, & terrible food.
Ordered two pizzas and they came out one and a half hours later. Ridiculous.
They were so small and of such poor quality.

Why wouldn’t I like a place with 4 dollars pizzas? And if they’re cheap and delicious why wouldn’t I rate Lucky Coq with 5 starts? This was the first place that comes to my mind when I was on chapel st and needed cheap good food. Beer is affordable, comparing to other places. They had something called panchos which is a pizza with NACHO on it. Like, what?! Please go there and enjoy the things this place has to offer.

$ 4 pizzas. Need I say more?
A great place to catch up with friends over a few drinks and cheap eats. Food is pretty good (especially considering the cost) and the upstairs seating area is exactly where you want to be on a nice Melbourne evening.
Drinks are good, a must try is the different flavors of vodka on hand (watermelon and blood orange are my faves).
Great location, great ambiance, great drinks and fantastic prices.
There is literally no reason not to come here.

This place knows what’s up. If you sell pizza for 4 bucks, I’ll be here a while. This is a good place to chill outside upstairs and I like how I tend to run into people I may not see otherwise. Great atmosphere for a one on one catch up or a group of friends. The service is always good and there’s fun things to look at when you go to have a wee. Cosy couches downstairs are great at lunch time when the place isn’t so busy.

Sunday everything only $ 4! Got the calamari thin crust pizza! Absolutely delicious! Cooked to perfection and extremely cheap! This place is AWESOME!

The pizzas you get here for $ 4 are unbelievable. Better than the rubbish you pay more money for from the countless franchise outlets breeding across our universe. Sure the couches and furniture are aging, and the drinks cost as much as the pizza, but hey, it’s Chapel Street right. The pizzas are great. The price is fantastic. What’s not to like?

The lucky coq is a laid back restaurant/​pub that served up all the good things in life — pizza and drinks at ridiculously student friendly prices, even the biggest cheapskate can’t complain.
With its laid back vibe, comfy couches and an upstairs courtyard area, it’s good for lunch onwards until the sun comes up. Its dim lighting and cavernous feel makes it cosy. The fit out isn’t fancy, but with pizza in your belly, a few drinks, music and friends, the décor is all forgotten.
The vibe is welcoming and there is a range of patrons from loyal locals, stingy students, boozehounds and friends catching up for a drinks.
If you don’t want an overpriced swanky drink of boutique beers and gourmet pizzas that the surrounding cafes and restaurants offer, the lucky coq is your go to place.

Chapel street est un incontournable des soirées à Melbourne, et the Lucky Coq fait parti des bars les plus bondés le week-​end.
C’est lors d’un jeudi soir entre amis que nous testons l’endroit pour la première fois. La déco est superbe sur les deux étages, un peu psychédélique mais aussi très relaxante (d’ailleurs on y sent une très forte odeur d’encens !). Quand l’endroit n’est pas bondé, vous avez un grand choix de tables et canapés, aussi bien dedans que dehors. Si vous avez une petite faim, n’hésitez surtout pas a craquer pour les pizzas a 4 $! Généreuses et délicieuses! Seule petite déception ce soir là, le pichet de cocktail qui était bon certes, mais quasiment non alcoolisé alors que les vodkas aromatisées sont leur spécialité… (Et le pichet coûte tout de même 28 $!)
Le vendredi et le samedi c’est une toute autre ambiance, vous né pourrez pas rester affalé dans un canapé, les DJ sont très bons et proposent deux ambiances différentes en bas et à l’étage. Vous pourrez vous déhancher jusqu’à 3h, heure de fermeture de l’endroit.
Lucky Coq est rapidement devenu l’un de mes endroits préféré sur Chapel street!

Well, so it’s true, there are pubs in Melboure that have dress codes that effectively ban business ware. Well, that suits me just fine because I know who I’m not going to be running into at this place. Okay, it is a little unfortunately that I do have to dress up for work, which effectively means that I can’t have a drink here four days out of the week, but I guess I’ll get over that. Anyway, I really like this place, especially the truck cab that protrudes from wall, along with all the other weird and strange things that decorate this place. In fact I believe I even found a bike stuck to the roof. They also have a deck on the roof upstairs which means you can enjoy sitting outside without having to deal with those horrid tables out on Chapel Street.

Went here late in the evening after the restaurant had closed for a few drinks upstairs. Loved the décor, cool music, and an awesome outdoor areas. A highlight would be the selection of beers and vodka they had, which was good to see compared the the normal drab stock standard selection you get in most bars. Loved their own flavoured vodka, very tasty. Recommend to others and I will definitely be heading back again, hopefully a bit earlier to try their famous pizza’s

This used to be a regular of mine due to literally living 5 mins away, which with my love of pizza became a very dangerous habit! You can never go wrong with pizza let alone $ 4 pizza! I don’t believe they are the greatest pizza’s but again how can you complain for $ 4? I give them 3 star as I find the friendliness of staff very hit and miss and the drinks prices at times can be outrageous but then other times seem really really cheap? Maybe I am in a food coma too often and am not paying enough attention? Either way still a good cheap eat and laid back atmosphere

The good old Lucky Coq, This is pretty much every travelers/student’s best dream. $ 4 pizza. That is what every recommend this place to me for, and have been numerous times for a nice easy and cheap eat.
Decent pizza’s, well priced drinks. A cool well laid out interior, Comfy and cosy. Great for big groups of people.

Oh Lucky Coq. You make me laugh. It’s not you, it’s me. Please don’t get upset — let me explain.
If you’re looking for a slightly dodgy venue with cheap food and drinks smack bang in the middle of Windsor, this is it! The food is cheap ($ 4 pizzas!), there are plenty of beers on tap and the décor is like my first sharehouse — lots of band posters and sticky miscellaneous carpet. In other words, it’s a good place to head to first for a few drinks and line your stomach inner southside.
The thing that makes me snigger is that after a certain time — like 8pm — the people who start pouring in look like Justin Beiber and about 12 years old. I have to fight the urge to shout «does your mother know where you are?!» and this makes me feel tres old. But this is my issue Lukcy Coq, not yours. Having said that, my days of hanging with undergrads are somewhat past me and I tend to make a hasty exit at that point in time and head somewhere more age appropriate for me.
So please don’t get upset. It’s an age thing. You were my utopia in the early 2000s. That was a long time ago. I am moving on so the *next gen* can get to experience the décor and pizza and be patronising 10 years later as well.

The lucky coq says it all in its name. Especially on Saturday/​Friday nights. Or maybe it should be the ‘trying to get lucky, coq’. The music is pretty awesome and everyone crams onto the dance floor to assess their potential prey. Have a lot of predrinks as the upstairs bar wait could sober you up.
If this is not for you maybe a cheap $ 4 pizza on a couch or in the upstairs beer garden is the way to go. Get there early for seats especially for a rooftop position. If you are on a downstairs couch don’t drink too much as you will be going up and down the stairs to the only toilets in the building. On a weekend the toilets are not flash BUT the old school découpage porn on the walls is awesome.
The wine and beer lists are ok but pretty basic but this is definitely a pub aimed/​suited to uni students/​backpackers/​23yr olds on the prowl. Which is pretty fun really.

$ 4 pizzas! Yep, that’s right! Pretty sure it is until 11pm Mon-​Thu if I’m not mistaken.
I’ve been past here numerous times over the last few years but never actually went in. Gotta say, Lucky Coq has style. It’s got all sorts of nifty and coll bits of this and that all over the place. I’m not even sure of what it reminds me of. I’m not even sure if it is like anything else I’ve ever seen before. Lucky Coq is pretty much just doing its own thing.
They’re got a GREAT selection of beers in tap that cover your pale ales, pilsners, draughts and more. They’ve even got german imports on tap. That is what I’m talking about. The prices aren’t that impressive but then again, I haven’t been there during happy hour.
Rooftop beer garden. That’s right. I didn’t even notice it was there at first. Very sneakily places at the back upstairs, I only stumbles across it by accident on my way out the door.
I’m definitely coming back here whenever I’m in need of a quick, cheap and easy dinner. I suggest the poncho pizza. Who can say no to nachos on pizza. That stuff is amazing and quite filling.

$ 4 pizza from 7pm onwards who can complain with that? I’m a big fan of the Lucky Coq especially when I have people over from interstate. It’s a great place to go whether you’re just sitting outside in the sun or inside on the couches. Definitely worth a stop by if you’re after something that’s not pretentious and offers a relaxed atmosphere.

The environment at the Lucky Cow is great, wide open, so many tables, and so much variety of tables at that!
The staff is always friendly, and if there is a line its gone quick.
The pizza is almost always $ 4 (check website for times) and it is awesome pizza, I always just get the Calabrese.
The beer selection is quick good, and average priced.
I come here almost every Sunday… see you then!

$ 4 pizza, how on earth could you go wrong? Well the pizzas could be cheap and cruddy… but at Lucky Coq they are as good, if not better, than the $ 18 pizzas you would get at any other restaurant. Even at their after hours full price (which seems to be almost never) of around the $ 9-​$ 10 mark, still a bargain.
The menu features a good range of vegetarian, meat or seafood toppings and all the ones I have tried have been delicious.
It’s also a decent bar for a casual hang out with good beer selection and a range of infused vodkas.

Pizzas are way better than you’d expect for the price (even when ‘full price’ they are only around $ 10). Surprisingly good selection.
Good place for a relaxed catch up with friends.

Lets face it– EVERYONE goes here for the $ 4 Pizza’s.
Even if you’re not there when there on, you’re thinking about
the $ 4 pizza’s. One goes there for the $ 4 Pizza’s and then is like «Oh shit,
they do drinks here as well.» Yeah boy, now they do $ 4 Hot on the Dogs
too! Sheeeit! $ 4 dog, and $ 4 pizza? Brother you’re on the dime!
Anyway i have come here many times since it first opened, for various
social settings, contexts, catch up, meetings and all sorts. Music nights,
packed nights, PIZZA, but all in the dark bat cave setting. I also went
ape crazy banana’s on the flavored vodka’s at one point. The upstairs
rooftop smoker’s courtyard is ace too. Pay Mind though, that one has to note
the $ 4 times. I have had Three pizza’s in one sitting on may times.
Can I have my $ 4 pizza now?
