A new bar is opening this week in Avondale! Located in a century-old marble works building, Lucky Stranger promises good vibes, tasty bites and—of course—cold, refreshing drinks.

What is Lucky Stranger?
Located at 4036 5th Ave S, Lucky Stranger is a new neighborhood bar that’s set to start serving the Avondale community later this week.
