Before my daughter's appointment nearby, we decided on Flippers Tavern for lunch…read more This place is quite different than many places in Lubbock, TX. When we walked in on May 19, 2026, the place was not too busy at around noon. Right away I noticed low lighting. Cool alternative, rock, and old R&B music playing in the background. A full bar. Pinball machines for tables. Lots of nostalgia in this place! Restroom was mostly clean. The food was okay. I wish there was a bit more flavor to everything. My daughter agreed. + The Damned Dog ($11) "All beef frank, house beef chili, cheddar, diced onions, and jalapeno crispies." This was good but the frank and chili needed more flavor. I opted for a side of house-made vegan potato salad (additional $1.50) instead of potato chips which really good. + The Sourpuss ($12) "Bratwurst, sauerkraut, pickle slice, crushed salt & vinegar chips, and queso fresco." My daughter enjoyed this with ketchup and mustard added and a side of smoked gouda mac. That mac was very tasty. We also noticed how crisp and spicy our Sprite and Dr. Peppers were. Loved that. I'd definitely go back again for a drink and maybe a sandwich next time. Ample lot parking.

It changed recently and is now a open to all bar called "Ohm". The set-up was very wacky. There was really cool red glowing cube seating mixed with nice leather couches, manikins, and hipster looking signs. It was quite the hodgepodge of items to say the least. It actually worked though. I liked it. It made me feel like it was a true "nightclub". They hired a crazy disc jockey and everything. There was of course crazy lights going all over the dance floor. The drinks were fairly priced and heavy handed. The bartenders were two very lovely ladies that I chatted with for a while since we got there before the huge crowd came. I really enjoyed my time here and would come again. They are only open on the weekends and sometimes they will open on a Thursday. If you are looking to go to a crazy fun bar not in the Depot District, this is your dive.

To be absolutely honest, I can never really figure out where to begin this kind of story…read more But if I shall be so bold, I WILL say that the adventure's climax occurred about two hours AFTER I'd crossed the threshold of Ohm Nightclub and Bar, of Lubbock, TX, and into the orbit of a man with whom I'd spend the next few weeks in a state of elevated spiritual awareness, but then I got stabbed. Long story short: I basically met God, or rather: "the goddess," this chick named Diane. She was intense, but I'm getting ahead of myself. It's difficult to rest a fingertip upon this story's exposed nerve. Where does one declare: "in the beginning"? and at which precise moment is it appropriate to collapse into the cozy armchair of a definitive "THE END"? Let's go back a few days, to North Little Rock, Arkansas. Peter (my companion) had recommended we rendezvous at "Sir Loins Inn" for brunch, which is a medieval-themed steak house, and (frustratingly) not the LGBTQA dance club we'd hoped to experience. I mean: Sir Loins Inn. COME ON Peter was wearing mustard-yellow Adidas three-stripe break-aways, and his hair was braided in the fashionable "corn row" manner. Seated as we were in tall, high-back throne-like chairs, our needs attended to by a staff of dark-ages-costumed knaves and whatnot, Peter looked magnificent, something like a Caucasian blend of Lionel Richie, and that cool keyboard player in Prince's band "The Revolution." You know: the guy in the doctor's outfit, but not the doctor keyboard player from Night Ranger, if that means anything to you, because it should. Pete was chewing thoughtfully upon steak tip onion rings, and after some debate (and rising distress on my part that he'd been literally chewing upon the same "tip" of meat for 46 minutes), we'd agreed to roll a custom-made 17-sided dice to settle a decision regarding our next stop on an westward sojourn we'd hoped would culminate in Clovis, NM. After several rolls, we decided to head towards Clovis immediately. We popped a few caffeine pills and hit the road. Nine hours and 36 minutes later, we arrived in Lubbock, and we both had to urinate so badly I literally thought I was about to literally die. We parked his Pontiac Le-mans, and ran indoors. The bar's lay-out was incredible, far as I could tell, as I ran through the establishment, and into the restrooms. That first impression was a bit of a blur, to be honest. The urinal has this cool little air-freshener "fan" thingy that you pee on. The more you pee, the faster it goes, an eventually it ends with a fortune. Mine said "basically everyone has HPV," which was really helpful advice. Timely, actually. Peter and I settled in at the bar, and had a few cold ones. The bar was HOPPING. I will never forget it. At the time it seemed as if I had never before seen so many attractive men and women not on the freeway. A man approached, and said hello. His name was Ray, Ray Stubbs, as I recall, and he said something really cool like "I'm about to introduce you to God, man, and it's going to be amazing." I remember saying something like "that sounds cool," but then Ray said "but don't say anything to her about (X) or she will straight-up stab you." And in that, Ray was not wrong. Diane totally stabbed me, but that wasn't until later. It didn't happen at Ohm. We actually had a super good time there. Food was great, DJ was amazing, and upon reflection I liked not getting stabbed there, not even once. That happened later

Which normally would be fine, except when they put the two receipts down, they were for two different amounts. Strike one. Fast forward a week and while going over my statement, the charge from there shows that they had added 20 more dollars to my tip, after I had already given them a pretty decent tip considering being ignored or treated like a leper most of the night. Strike two. All in all it has the potential to be an AWESOME bar, if they could get some sort of better system behind the bar going. Just use cash instead of a card in my opinion.

If you have been to an Alamo Drafthouse in other cities, you know that the decor in this bar is lackluster. However, they do have some cool vintage repro art work on the walls, offer a chill atmosphere and have plenty of seating. They offer food, a full bar and of course lots of draft beer options. I think they have about 35 beers on tap. For my most recent visit, I was there with a group of ladies from a social group (yes we even had a table reserved for us). Our server was Brandon and he did a fantastic job. The Manager (Michael) also stopped by a few times to ensure that our group had everything we needed.

One of the more relaxed college bars in Lubbock. Great to watch a game at on their TVs, but Chimy's to the people around me is known for their chiltons, their margaritas, and their great food from their cheese fries to their hamburgers. I don't know when they ID for the night, but I have never been and not been IDed, so expect it to be 21+ most hours. Like most bars, it can get a little rowdy and loud in the evening so be careful. On a cool summer night, their patio is a great time, but inside is always a cute vibe. Personally, when I go, I get some cheese fries and a Silver King margarita and it's PEAK. The cheese fries are usually served with a side of ranch in a tortilla bowl. I ALWAYS EAT THE BOWL. SUE ME. The staff here can be decently friendly on nights, but they will throw you out immediately if you're being an idiot, and security will flip out if you walk out through the emergency exit. Don't do that. They close up shop around midnight, so it's not a bar that rolls to the end of the night, but still it's worth going to get the night started at the bars, especially because they're one of the best bars with food in Lubbock. RIYL: CHEESE FRIES

Would have been fine, but the door guy kept letting regulars & friends in. I could understand letting a couple people skip here & there, but multiple groups of 5+ was a little over the top. Typically I couldn't care less about these things, but this was ridiculous. After being inside we ordered from the side bar. Bartenders were very good, very quick. After waiting in the long line the vibes were still great. My phone was dying, & they had a kiosk with portable chargers to rent out. They have a great out door area if weather permits. The drinks were very strong, but tasty. The margarita was exactly what we came for, & cheese fries are the perfect snack. The have a small salsa bar to complement your food. While eating at the patio countertop area we were asked to move due to blocking the bar & if we didn't we would get kicked out. We easily complied, but the bouncer was trying to escalate things for no reason. However, there was no other spot to enjoy our food. I think this is a bad set up & they didn't think this through while adding this extra bar in the patio. Why have a table/counter top & not allow anybody to enjoy it. Again I think we came at the wrong time, wrong day.
