The Lady Luck in Canterbury

We are staying in Canterbury and were completely thrilled with the food and service and atmosphere at The Lady Luck! The vegan choices were so many and difficult to choose - all sounded amazing! We shared the Mushroom Bourguignon Pie with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas and OMG - unbelievably delicious! The vegan chili and chips was equally perfect! The music and atmosphere is everything we were looking for after a chilly December hike. This pub does not disappoint!

We had a great evening at the Lady Luck. The staff were really friendly and accommodated all our requests, even keeping the kitchen open late for some friends who were delayed. We were a large booking and they made sure we had our own room. I would thoroughly recommend this pub if you're looking for a nice place to hole up in with a group of friends for an evening!

Love it here, authentic rockers pub with fantastic food, loads of vegetarian options and a good selection of drinks.

A different/ alternative place to eat well worth a visit

Such a lovely welcome from staff to us and our little dog. Enjoyed the daily special of beef bourginion. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and would return if and when we visit Kent again.

Great pub, let down by poor beer selection.

Honest down to earth place. Went for a quick drink midweek. Staff very friendly.

Great shop, located right at the beginning of St. Peter's Street. Very nice staff and good music. I can't say anything about the food as we only drank. But what was served around it looked good. Beer prices are the same as in other pubs.

Great beers and cocktails staff friendly and good laugh

Great pub always a good atmosphere

I had the special siracha burger which was cooked to perfection by the kitchen staff. Sam on the bar was amazing as well and made me and my brother feel very welcome. They do great great beer and have a good range of cocktails etc. I myself have worked 14 years in hospitality in 3 different continents and rarely take the time to leave reviews but I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I left this AMAZING venue without mentioning my experience there. If you're anywhere even nearly local to canterbury take the time to visit Lady Luck!

Amazing rock bar in Canterbury, great live music and brilliant staff

Cracking little rocker pub in the centre of Canterbury. The meals are solid scran at a reasonable price and the staff are very friendly. Fantastic music selection as well. If I'm ever back in the city, I would absolutely check out a live show there!

Great pub, with Live Music and great atmosphere

This is honestly one of the best pubs I've ever been. As a queer woman, it was the best kind of atmosphere and I've always felt safe here. I also used to work at another pub nearby, and in one instance when I had trouble and some people broke glasses outside, the staff from here came up and helped us clean up without even having to do so. They are the sweetest and the best! I love The Lady Luck!

Absolutely love coming back here. Amazing food, amazing music, amazing staff. Jemima was a rockstar!

Great place for Vegan food. Lots of choice and really tasty meals!

One of the best pubs I have ever been to. The staff are so lovely, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in there is perfect and the drinks perfectly priced in comparison to other places nearby. Would definitely recommend. As a young female, I always feel very safe in this establishment.

Very Delicious, best burger I've ever had

Love this place, we always make sure to visit anytime we come to Canterbury, great atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food. Definitely worth a visit.

Had an awesome meal for take away minutes before closing! Very delicious vegan meal! Love krischner

The Guinness was nice and the burgers were tasty. The decor in the room leading to the toilets was a little dated but other than that, all good.

Not normally my kind of pub, but it was great. Food wasn't bad service was friendly and quick. A good atmosphere.

A very nice and friendly watering hole. with outstanding Guinness and music. well worth a visit if you are visiting Canterbury.

Family lunch while visiting Canterbury. The cuisine was correct with a limited menu and quality products, with choices for vegetarians. Only downside, +1 hour wait between ordering and arrival of the dish, without real explanations, with excuses, of course. Since we order and pay in advance, we're stuck. I think a good place for an evening of music and drinks!

Fantastic atmosphere and great vegan options. Flawless!

It was nice sitting with Lady Luck. Casual atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended for a drink and a (quick) bite

Stopped for dinner with a friend after spending the day in Canterbury - great vibes, good music, great selection of food on the menu, nice selection of cocktails with some unique options which where all great

Had two very nice meals and drinks. Sat in the sunshine outside the pub.

Real pub, lovely garden. Friendly service and great food.

We had a nice time there. It is a nice alternative spot where you can enjoy veggie and vegan food as well as very cool rock music. The choice of beer was quite large!

This was literally the best diet coke I've had all day. Cool, fizzy, tasty, delicious. I was refreshed, my thirst quenched and my day enlivened by the experience. Plus the gig was epic. Served by Sam, with a smile and a generous disposition.

Excellent pub right in the centre of Canterbury. Really great lunch, cooked fresh. Good pint of real ale too. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly and lovely courtyard garden.

Lovely little find on our hot, sunny shopping trip to Canterbury. Friendly staff (Jemima, you were lovely) and great menu, food and drinks. Sure it must get busy on weekends!! Luckily, it was quiet and the air-conditioning was on!

Good beer, great people. The staff are the best, recommended by a northerner.

Omg Texas burger was amazing! Chicken & Bacon wife also said amazing and fresh chicken. Chips omg the chips. As a chef I have to say fantastic meal. If I’m honest they under price themselves I would have paid more for such a great meal.

Superb value for money cocktails and a free retro games machine

Fantastic Pub/Bar with delicious food 😋. Very lovely service! (Ps: buy the pub t-shirts 😃 they look awesome)

The lady luck has everything great staff, a brilliant atmosphere and gorgeous food. Love every time I visit and looking forward to the next

They do the best vegan/vegetarian food in Canterbury, staff are always welcoming and friendly. It's always clean and serves a variety of good drinks!

Great spot for alternative music and fresh food, staff are always really nice and live music is always worth coming back to!

What an absolutely blooming lovely pub, such a great vibe and the decor is fantastic. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my girl friends chilli allergy was taken care of. I love this place and can't wait to come back. Ps I'd recommend the rick and morty sandwich omfg

Picked a random date as every time I went to the Luck I've had an absolutely great time. Friendly staff beyond belief, a great selection of drinks and food, and amazing live events. I've not lived in Canterbury in a while, however the Luck is definitely one pf my reasons for moving back!

We popped in for lunch today. We ordered vegan mushroom and ale pie with chips and The House burger. Both meals were tasty with good portions. Staff were friendly and I'll definitely be back to try their desserts.

Started coming here a few times a year since 2016, since moving to canterbury I now visit a few times a month, their dog friendly and service/support animal friendly, seems like a place for young adults but I find people of all ages in there enjoying a pint or a meal. The food is good.

Love this pub always call in for a pint when in Canterbury

Just popped in for a drink whilst shopping. We had a couple of cocktails which were made by 2 young ladies who knew their stuff. Cocktails were beautiful. Thank you ladies.

Good pub grub at an affordable rate 9

Fun place with good food and drinks and music and friendly staff. I have one particular issue, though, with one dish: the chili. For one thing, it's drier than any chili I've ever eaten. More important, the portion is incredibly small: it's smaller than a typical side dish, more like the size of a garnish, honestly. About three medium forkfuls. I couldn't believe it. I did say something about this nicely and was told I could order a second portion if I wanted to. I laughed this off. But the fact remains: what would it cost Lady Luck to double or triple the size of that micro portion? 50p? I mean, really, people, take an honest look at this one dish and correct it. The fajita salad ordered by my lunch companion was better, and the chips and ice cream desserts were excellent.

The joy of a vegetarian who also has non-celiac gluten sensitivity is finding places like Lady Luck!! In addition to a vegan menu, (many) gluten-free options are also available. Good food, very nice service and the atmosphere is cute. I recommend it and intend to return.

The vibe is really good but it was ruined by the incredibly rude staff!!!

A local recommended this to us. It’s a charming pub with a cool retro vibe! So many delicious vegan and vegetarian options, and the service was brilliant. We can’t wait to come back!

Great food, and the chips were the best we have had. Super lunch stop, the courtyard is small but lovely.

Lots of vegan options. 2 we had were both great!

A fantastic pub with great beer, food and service.

Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere of the place is always on point

I know Canterbury pretty well but for reasons I cannot explain, I had never come across this most excellent bar. I just fancied a quick lunchtime pre-train beer but the pub next door was playing bloody ABBA - music for people who hate music - so I bailed out quickly to the pub next door, the Lady Luck, and was embraces by excellent 70s dad rock. Now a regularish stopover.

Great little pub to see the METAL! BLAH!

One of the best pubs in Canterbury with a great food selection for everyone

Fantastic place that makes being vegan easy. No need to worry about anything, menu is clear and it’s easy to see that the staff are passionate about food.

Amazing bar and a must visit when in Canterbury! Wonderful services, great selection of drinks and wonderful vibes. They were super dog friendly and we felt super welcomed here ! Definitely we will be back just to visit this pub !

Lady luck was my favourite place when I was a student. I went back tonight and it was lovely. Quiet because of the holidays but it was fun. We used to love the jukebox!

I haven't ordered food here but I love their cocktails, atmosphere is inviting if you're into metal, rock, or alt music

Absolutely love this place. Always so welcoming and the food catered for both vegan and non vegan. First place we head to every time we visit. Thank you to all the amazing friendly staff for welcoming us and for the amazing service.

This is one of multiple trips we’ve had here and it never disappoints. It’s a friendly, unique pub that has such a vibe. Great drinks choice and food was amazing. So much choice for all. Dont believe the few who are keyboard warriors, never been asked to tip. This place is a find!

Small pub, very busy as it seem popular but there is more table seats inside at the back. Looking about 10 ish tables in total. Food menu looks decent with vegan options. Positive note they have lilley's cider

Great food, great staff always made welcome as a family

Lovely staff, great selection of vegan food on the menu and the food was hot when it was served. The music was too loud to talk, turn it down a little and it's a great place to meet with friends 👏

Ordered food at the bar and was asked if I wanted to pay a tip (before having the food?) the bar lady then watched as I punched in the amount….awkward and uncomfortable! My own fault, but I paid a small tip as was put on the spot. Was annoyed at myself but more with them for asking. We both had a baguette, can’t go too wrong with that, but food was tasteless, apart from the chips which were orange and burst fat into your mouth. First time I’ve ever left chips on my plate. Nice decor, right up my street, but won’t return because of the rudeness and sub-standard.

Over cooked food. Poor ale choice. Inattentive service. Asked for a tip before we saw the food or experienced the service.

I only popped into this pub for a pint mid afternoon. Only 1 ale on. They explained that they only sold enough mid week to keep 1 in good condition. It was good so probably a good move. Pleasant enough pub. Serves but I didn't try or see any so difficult to say much

An absolute gem of a pub with great decor and delicious food! We ordered the nachos, chicken and bacon salad, blt with triple cooked chips. It was all fabulous with generous portions. I will definitely return!

Amazing bar, with a great range of drinks and lovely food that's also affordable. Wonderful staff and a quality jukebox. Incredible live music (check when on). This is the place to go if you want real fun, but none of the agro of your average high street boozer. The customers are a mix of all ages and backgrounds, all getting on. Many nights of the week, including weekdays, it's busy, fun and offers the perfect place to be if you like music, banter, fun staff, and meeting people you'll suddenly realise you share things in common with!

Love coming here - as service, atmosphere and their cocktails are all fab! Always feel at home ❤️. Easy parking in nearby carparks.

Wonderful quiz night! Didn’t try the food but great atmosphere

Just happen to come across this delightful pub. Great atmosphere, good food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Great rock pub, everyone very welcoming

Visiting Canterbury for the very first time, over Christmas, my partner, dog and I were hungry and thirsty having spent the afternoon exploring the cathedral. What a great pub. Very reasonably priced compared to a couple of others we tried in the city centre, the Dark Star American Pale Ale, Gosling's Dark Rum and burgers with home-made dips and mayonnaise were superb. Very welcoming staff too. We'll be back.

It's very different and very cool, love this place

Great food, great beer, what more can you ask from an excellent day time meal. Sitting outside all afternoon in the sunshine, socialising with everyone we sat near. What a perfect day. Thank you Lady Luck, you are the best.

Great pub. Great for live bands even though not ideal venue. Lovely staff. Nice food. Good range of drinks. Lovely little beer garden (especially if the cat's there) get the sun just at the right time in the afternoon. All round one of the best pubs in the city centre.

We’ve been here several times for lunch now, it’s always crazy busy but we manage to find somewhere to sit 🙂 The staff here are fantastic, really friendly and always making sure no one has to wait very long. Then there’s the food!! It is AMAZING!!! So reasonable for the heart of Canterbury, and it is absolutely divine!! We had the house burger yesterday, and both my husband and I agreed it was the best burger we had eaten in a VERY long time!! Even though the pub was crammed as always, with even more waiting for a table, the food came out in a decent time and delicious and hot. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for the pub, staff and food!

Fantastic pub! Wither you go on a quiet night or a busy weekend night the atmosphere is one you don't get elsewhere, staff are fantastic (special mention to Jehmima and Kai on Saturday night, who gave me drink recommendations, spent time talking to me even when it was busy and were a great duo to watch having fun when working together). They have 2 for £10 cocktails, rock music, great staff & friendly locals . Just wish I lived locally!

Really nice proper pub the food and drinks (great pint of Guiness) were outstanding all home made food lots of vegan options service was excellent staff very friendly lots of music events

We popped in for lunch and a drink, the food was lovely. I had a sausage baguette, really high quality, proper decent chips and a good size portion too. The staff were super friendly and the service was quick. Recommended.

Just popped in, beer didn't last very long, it was quality

Warm welcome and instantly put at ease by Camron (Security) followed by Jodie’s (bar staff) overwhelming knowledge of Rum, makes this a great place to drink. Defo worth popping in for one if you are in the area

Warm, welcoming pub with a great atmosphere, a lovely team and a huge varied menu! We nipped in for some reasonably priced yummy cocktails and can't wait to return.

Great little place , very friendly staff good drink selection and a surprising and nice garden. Also the whole place is very clean

Fantastic place,i recommended 👌

Super local nice person good food I coming back 😋

If you're into the alternative music scene, cone to the Luck. If you're looking for something new, come to the Luck. In fact, if you like good beer, good food and good staff... Yeh, you know the drill. Top pub.

What a great find. Friendly and a cool atmosphere. Food was superb. Be sure to visit this Friendly vibrant establishment

Great price drinks and atmosphere

Brilliant little place for live music (which are held once a month) Didnt buy food so dont really know much about that

The Lady Luck is a rock n’ roll bar in the heart of Canterbury. Relax during the day and enjoy a meal with a wide range of craft beer, real ale and ciders. They have a secluded courtyard garden and seating outside the front of the pub for sunny days. Visit them in the evenings for social drinks and a friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly inside and out! They welcome well behaved dogs and under 18’s until 8pm. They often host music events that are performed by acts from around the county and far beyond. If you love loud, rock, metal or any other genre linked then you won't come away disappointed.

One of Kent's premier rock and metal venues/bar. It can get quite cramped as it's got a fairly small capacity

Just what you want from a pub and more. Really tasty and creative vegan offerings, lovely service from staff. Choice of street side tables, courtyard seating, or indoors.

Didn't eat here, but from what we saw, decent food, A lovely little pub, friendly staff, excellent drinks selection, and clean toilets 👍
