—GTA IV Manual Description
Lucky Winkles is an Irish bar in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in Purgatory, Algonquin, Liberty City.
Description
[edit | edit source]Located on the southeast corner of Galveston Avenue and Hell Gate, Lucky Winkles is probably owned by the McReary Crime Familyref?. Lucky Winkles shares the same interior as the Steinway Beer Garden, down to the portrait of Derrick McReary near the door to the toilets.
Strangely, when the player first enters the bar, the bar icon on the radar never shows up. Just as the Steinway Beer Garden, Blarneys Stout is served here.
When on a date or hanging out with friends, it will show up on the radar as a bar, but the player can also avoid the yellow marker and walk right into the door to play darts. Strangely enough, the darts icon does not show up on the radar either. However, in later installments such as The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, the darts icon shows up when entering the bar. In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, this bar is inaccessible and plays no role in the game's storyline.
The Lucky Winkles logo is reused for the Leprechaun's Winklepicker, a bar located at Babbage Drive and Farnsworth Road in Berchem, Alderney.
Influence
[edit | edit source]Lucky Winkles appears to be based on the Sunbrite Bar, which was where the real-life Westies organization operated out of. Since the McReary Crime Family is mostly likely based on the Westies, the bar is also located in Purgatory which represents the real-life neighborhood of Hells Kitchen, New York City.
The bar's sign is most likely based on Scruffy Duffy's, a bar in Hell's Kitchen.

Trivia
[edit | edit source]- Pictures of Claude from Grand Theft Auto III can be seen near the bar.
- There is a staircase leading to a non-existent basement right next to the door on the outside of the bar. If Niko and a friend fall down this staircase while drunk, it is very likely that the friend will be injured as neither one can stand up while drunk as they continue bumping into one another while laying at the bottom.
