Lucky Star’s Cocktail Omakase Is West Midtown’s Most Surprising Summer Treat

Just when you thought you’d seen every cocktail trick in the book, Lucky Star in West Midtown drops a five-course omakase-style cocktail tasting—yes, cocktail omakase—and suddenly you’re sipping Champagne milk punch under an oyster and wondering why this hasn’t always been a thing.

Offered every Wednesday and Thursday in June (and possibly beyond), this six-seat experience is intimate, experimental, and just the right amount of mysterious. It’s the kind of night where you say yes to whatever’s next—and each round somehow gets better.

Michelin-Level Cocktails, Without the Fuss

The brains behind the bar? Michelin-starred Chef Jason Liang and Beverage Director Kirk Gibson, who clearly understand that cocktails don’t have to play second fiddle. Here, they’re the main event.

You’ll get:

• Five cocktail courses (yes, actual courses—not flights)
• Taiwanese-inspired small bites paired to perfection
• Unexpected flavor combinations that feel more like a story than a menu

Expect things like:

• A Champagne Syrup Milk Punch crowned with a Taiwanese-style oyster
• A mini cream-filled croissant riding shotgun with a bold espresso martini
• A one-spoon moment of beef noodle soup that hits with full emotional impact

While most of the menu is kept secret (on purpose), it’s not about being exclusive—it’s about play. The vibe is casual-luxury, not velvet-rope.

Lucky Star isn’t just pushing the envelope—they’re folding it into an origami crane, topping it with edible foam, and serving it with a story.
