Automatic 5 stars because they have a GOOD Shuffleboard. I love me some shuffleboard. This new…read moreplace not only boasts a shuffleboard, they have pool tables, a few arcade games, a gigantic stage (think Karaoke, Comedy and Music), LOTS of seating, good lighting, big screen wall-mounted TVs and we have not event talked about food or drinks yet. Listen up, this place is new (opened late Nov 2024) so they are still working out the kinks. I say this because there are two reviews on this place that mention negative things. IMHO I think thus far they are excelling and will only get better and better. We need to give them grace as they learn and grow. ***So please READ MY REVIEW and ignore the 1 stars.*** The food we ordered was tasty, affordable and came out quickly. Drinks for the entire table were on point. Shout out to Chet who will gladly curate a drink for you if you are not sure what you want. Oh and did I mention 237 is located inside? 237 is Speakeasy located inside of Soggy Dog (at this time 237 is open Thur-Sat nights). 237 has it's own vibe and drink menu. PRO TIP: Enter Soggy Dog through either of the double set of metal doors. Yes you are at the right place. I will take pictures of the entrance on my next visit.

I was out having a beautiful night with my girlfriend. Life feels special when I get to spend time…read morewith her. As we were leaving our very special dinner date, we were driving through downtown Lubbock off Broadway when a place we had never seen before passed by the car window. In perfect unison and harmony, she and I said, "What place is that? Narrow Bar?" We had never seen it before. Was it new? Were we just blind all this time? Narrow Bar has been around. We truly have been blind all this time. Through my four years of college and then some, I had never heard of it. Tonight would change that. As I reached Avenue Q, we turned around to investigate. Narrow Bar is attached to the Wells Fargo building with, shockingly, a narrow indoor bar. The outside is what grabbed our attention: an expansive patio filled with a live music trio and young adults casually having a great time. Was this bar one of Lubbock's best-kept secrets? Having had a few drinks already, we agreed on a one-and-done experience to try this place out. We were handed an expansive drink menu listing four categories: classic cocktails, contemporary cocktails, signature cocktails, and mocktails. I immediately eyed one of my favorite cocktails, a Carajillo, while my girlfriend yearned for the IYKYK (a Porn Star Martini). Our server took our order, and it wasn't long before our drinks reached the table. My Carajillo came with one of those big ice cubes (an actual cube), which was awesome, and the drink itself was really well done. Their espresso cold brew gave it a strong coffee profile that wasn't as sharp as other Carajillos I've had, which I think benefited the drink, especially being mixed with the slightly citrusy Licor 43. As for my girlfriend, she was really excited for her martini and adored it, notably because it came with prosecco. The space is really nice on a cool Lubbock night as it faces the street of downtown Lubbock. The band playing was not a cheesy bar band but actually quite good, pulling some deeper tracks out of their hat, including "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The lead vocalist had this Steve Miller vocal inflection going on, so I requested any Steve Miller song, and we got the always enjoyable "Fly Like an Eagle." They had no tip jar sadly, but my hat goes off to you guys. It was a short experience, but a great impression enough to make us know we're coming back the next time I visit her in Lubbock.

The interior decor is outstanding, but that is the only good thing about this place…read more We ordered the Burrata appetizer with focaccia, burrata and balsamic, grapes and Marcona almonds. The focaccia was very nice and airy, as it should be. The burrata was much to be desired. It was served in a bowl and served very cold. The burrata was not room temp, as it should be to showcase its consistency and softness. The bowl made it very hard to get to the burrata and the presentation was lacking because it was in a deep bowl. It was also served with no spoon, so we had to knife it. Just like the knife in my Italian heart. Good thing was the almonds and grapes were good. Next, the Arancini apertivo. Another flop. These things were as small as ping pong balls. When you cut them, they looked like raw ground beef instead of seeing the beautiful, fluffy risotto, as it should have been. You can tell these are not fresh or house-made because there is absolutely no risotto on the menu. Arancinis are made to use leftover risotto, so these are very fake. The crispy provolone topping tasted like sand. Third, soup du jour. We asked for the chicken gnocchi. It was pretty ok, but didn't have any chicken or gnocchi! So, basically a creamed spinach soup. We let the server know and she said the morning prep staff didnt put either ingredient in the soup. So, why serve it and why call it chicken gnocchi when it has neither? I assume the day's customer base wasn't the wiser. Fortunately for me, I owned an Italian restaurant and know better. Thankfully, the server removed the item from our bill. Finally, the pasta course. Immediately, it is evident that it is store bought, dehydrated, and nutrient-deficient pasta. We ordered the cacio e pepe and hardly any pepper was on it. It is in the name, "pepe", but like the soup, it wasn't complete. We got a pepper mill, and no pepper in it. The pasta was mediocre, had no taste, and desperately needed pasta water to bind the sauce with the dish. Again, a serious sign that it is not real Italian food that is made well and correctly. Our server was nice, but only visited the table every 20-30 minutes, which made the meal long, tedious, and laborious. We were there almost 2.5 hours. Ugh We were so ready to leave. Kind of a wasted evening. If you're looking for a beautiful place to dine, this is it. If you want a beautifully, well-executed Italian meal, this is absolutely not it. Also, please put some music on and clean the ventilation system in the bathroom. I got an allergy attack from all the dust.

It was pretty crowded which is a good sign, and they seated us fast- and the staff was super friendly- Then we ordered coffee. We didn't want alcohol in our coffee (granted they have an impressive drink menu) but we just wanted COFFEE. The coffee was weak, and not hot- and then as each pour came, it clearly got colder. I think the coffee was an afterthought and really irritated us. My daughter had the avocado toast- subpar at best. A trace amount of salmon and minimal avocado - and for $25? disappointing. Don't do an Avocado "mousse" - just do Avocado. My "breakfast platter" was satisfactory and actually reasonable at $15. My wife's French toast was listed as "croissant" ....but was NOT croissant. Maybe we hit it on a bad day. Who knows. But we left underwhelmed . The waiter did remove the coffee from our bill because we had to tell him about the cold temp- much appreciated for that . I'll try for dinner in the future - but not for breakfast/brunch.

We had dinner last night at The West Table, and it was truly a 10 out of 10 experience…read more We started with a couple of cocktails and the goat cheese croquettes. The croquettes were excellent, and the berry sauce added a bright, tangy complement that really elevated the dish. For our entrees, we had the teriyaki ribeye with flavorful mushroom fried rice, as well as the swordfish, served with perfectly executed risotto and roasted vegetables. I like my ribeye cooked rare, but with the fat properly rendered, so I ordered it rare+, and it was executed perfectly. The swordfish was equally impressive, beautifully cooked and paired wonderfully with the risotto and vegetables. Our server, Saidie, was outstanding and made an already great meal even more enjoyable. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. We highly recommend The West Table and will definitely be back.

We ordered three appetizers and were not wowed by any of them! Most dishes completely lacked any seasoning! I rarely add last to my food but the fried green tomatoes badly need them as they lacked flavor and the tomato was very hard to eat! The goat cheese croquettes were fine but the shishito peppers could have also done with some salt. We also ordered salads and waited a very long time for them - to be fair I think the server was waiting for us to finish our apps which we did not do so we stacked the plates at the end of the table which worked! Bizarrely the salads had no dressing!! Mine was a beet salad which was great and did not need any but my friend had a house salad which absolutely needed dressing which they kindly bought when requested! It's cool looking place and our server was lovely but the food needed a little work!
