Pub Grub: Lucky Coq

179 Chapel St,  Windsor, VIC      (03) 9525 1288   luckycoq.com.au

BAR SIDE

Lucky Coq shares the same relaxed setting as its affiliate Bimbo Deluxe in Fitzroy. 

Both feature a generous amount of eccentrically decorated outdoor space that allows you to sip your beer with sun on your face and the smell of freshly cooking pizza wafting out from the kitchen. 

With $4 pizza having somewhat of a cult following at both venues, the crowd varies from 18-year-olds to families and grandparents. All pizzas are made to order with vegan, seafood and vegetarian options available. A top vegetarian choice would be the Poncho: tomato, beans, corn chips, jalapeños, sour cream, spring onions, Spanish onion and mozzarella – it’s like the lovechild of a pizza and nachos. For meat eaters, the Agnello gives you tomato, Parmesan, mozzarella, spiced lamb, rocket, pine nuts and sultanas. Oh, and you can get sweet dessert pizzas for $6, such as the dark Belgian Chocolate. Save some room for those. 

Head chef Arun Rai is putting together “A little something extra” menu, which should be ready for summer. A lamb burger, Caeser salad and fried chicken will be amongst the new items. There are also salads and hot dogs to choose from. 

Heading into summer, the extensive coqtail menu that features house-infused vodka can’t be overlooked. Try the Wham Jug: lychee vodka, passionfruit vodka, apple cider, fresh orange and pink grapefruit juice. There are numerous beers on tap as well as bottled beers and ciders. The favourite at the moment is the Grizz American style Amber Ale, which is brewed by 2 Brothers in Moorabbin. Also on tap they have Mountain Goat Summer or Hightail Ales, Stone & Wood Pacific Ale from Byron Bay, Asahi, or Bubvar from the Czech Republic just to name a few. With an extensive list of wines, sparkling wines, single malts and anything in between, Lucky Coq will cater to all tastes and budgets. 

FUN FACT

You may wonder where this name came from. The business brains behind Bimbo Deluxe, Naked For Satan and the Provincial, Max Fink and Eddie Crupi joined together in the Chinese Year of the Rooster (2006), hence Lucky Coq.
