Very upset by the way I was treated by the staff member outside named Timothy. He was Caucasian blonde hair. I was just asking questions seeing if we could pay to skip the line with it being Halloween. He told me "get out of my line right now". The younger Hispanic guy was very kind and understanding and watched the incident take place. He was trying to explain we could pay to get in but unfortunately the Timothy guy was VERY rude. He needs to be fired if he's going to speak to customers like that!! I've called trying to report to a manager and no answer!! read more

April 15 1:00AM. One of the female bartenders, a dirty blond- dark haired white female obviously intoxicated not only degraded my girlfriend in the restroom, but physically assaulted her. she then took my friends phone and kept it behind the bar, and another man, a staff member as well, Tall, short brown hair, white-hispanic, bigger build threatened to fight me when i went up to them to de-escalate the situation. as a designated driver, i chose to just leave and let the bouncers know of their intoxication. sad to see this business being run so terribly. not only were we degraded with no previous altercation, but assaulted physically with marks to prove them. Expect a lawsuit in the coming future. read more

I went here with a friend and bought two beers a one shot for a friend , I was charged almost 200$ on my card...

A blond tall waitress was so rude and didn't help us. Every time I go here all the bartenders are rude and only help you when they want to. They also up charge you all the time and hope you don't notice. Working as a bartender myself I could never imagine being that rude to customers. read more

Really dirty place and extremely rude bartenders. I've never had a bartender yell at me for wasting her time before this place. Also overcharged me and got mad when I questioned the tab. Fun to goto if you're 18 but trashy bar. The bouncers and music are cool though. read more

crooks double charged me and cant get in touch with anyone, they dont answer phones, no mailbox. read more

This place was filthy and smelled like straight piss. A bartender decided to self tip himself over $60 on a tab that was setup on my credit card that I didn't open.... carry cash to this bar unless you're content with a bartender deciding their own gratuity. read more

Kieth the bouncer was way out of line. He shoved my friend out of the bar when he was trying to close his tab. Then proceeded to slap him when he was outside of the bar trying to sign his receipt. Not to mention they're liquor drinks are awful, you ask for a chilton and it tastes like they put sewer water in it, beer was warm and shots tasted horrible. Do not recommend this place. read more

Okay, so this fake blonde bartender on the end was so rude tonight. I was asking a genuine question about the drinks she pour me and my friend and I asked hey is there any vodka in this? Like an actual question I swear I wasn't trying to be offensive in any way and she said: No I just charged 22.46 for drinks with no vodka. Okay.... like no need for the attitude I was being so sweet to her so I ended up not tipping because she overcharged me. Just please don't go to mesquites for the drinks! The service is absolutely terrible! I hate being that person but i'm going to say it: I wish I could give them 0 stars! read more

1. The men's bathroom isn't big enough for one person, yet there's 4 places to piss in there. 2. Consistently get charged extra for no reason when the girls that come with get the same drinks for less. 3. Drinks that can make are very limited. No margs, no Moscow Mules, etc. The spin wheel thing is entertaining. read more

Kait is the best bartender on Broadway. She will always make sure you have a good time.

Best bar on broadway, service is great and all the bartenders are amazing, especially kait, always super energetic and fun. Would recommend coming as much as you can. read more

I came here fri night and when I came in I felt as if I didn't belong. Got a real uncomfortable vibe the min I walked in. The young blonde behind the counter couldn't have had a bigger attitude problem with me if she tried. I asked about how business might be that night since everyone is coming back from Christmas vacation and the bar just opened up. Instead of getting a better attitude from the young girl she decided it was best to look at me with disgust as If I didn't seem to matter to her like her job is more important then talking to a customer about a few questions. Damn college kids need to do the job and not be spoiled brats. read more

I'd give this place zero stars if I could. Awful awful customer service. We were there today around 6 pm, on a game day. But the place wasn't busy at all. Maybe 20 people in the whole bar. Me and my boyfriend walked up to the bar wanting a drink. We stood there for almost 10 minutes. We were standing right in front of 2 bartenders who were just talking to each other. They weren't paying any attention to us. After 10 mins of them talking and ignoring us, my bf interrupted them and asked if they could help us. They told us to wait and someone would be with us. Wtf. I hope you go out of business. read more

I went there for drinks after dinner, because I was told that the beers were cheap. The Good: That day they had $1 beers. The place was extremely laid back and dive-ey. The crowd was so lively that you could simply sit back and be entertained. The Bad: The place is such a dive bar that it looked like they fished around various garage sales from the 80's to collect their tables, chairs, and bar stools. It got a little too fratty for my taste as college students inundated the bar with their Polo shirts, pastel shorts, and TTU baseball caps. Girls were definitely falling over themselves to take more shots and express cheers at even the slightest provocation. The place looks like it was literally constructed from material stolen from construction waste and like they had no idea what building permits were. I thought the place was going to fall apart when they started playing LMFAO's Shots. Overall: Beer was cheap and the entertainment was free. I could see myself making my way back there when I feel like having a rager and going Algernon 3000. read more

Contrary to what other people are saying I think this place is great. Yes it looks like a shack and yes it's packed with college students but what do you expect? You're literally right next to campus! What I LOVE: the vibe!! Regardless of if you come with a group or just a few girls you can literally talk to anyone around you and not feel out of place. It's also super chill so you don't have to dress up! They've got great music sometimes and the Dj of here is one will always be down to play whatever you request. read more

Zero Stars If possible. Drinks are trash, bartender was super drunk and scammed us. Once we confronted him about the ONE DRINK that he charged 15 dollars for, he said to wait outside so he could whoop my a**. Then proceeded to give me $10 cash because he knows what he did, and told me he was done with my bullshit. Other than that it was pretty .... no just kidding it still sucks. Worst bar in Broadway, always full of kids. TABC should have a blast with this one. read more

Mesquites charged my friend $25 for one beer.... then my friend proceeded to confront the bartender. The bartender was rude for confronting him for a wrong order that was obviously the fault of mesquites. I tried to close out and they charged me for two drinks which added to around $20 which should've been $9. read more

Cheap drinks will get you wasted. Nice bartenders, okay music & super sweaty/musty dance floor. Tryna go home with someone for the night? Mesquites is the place to find that lady read more

Went there for drinks with some friends around midnight. Both bar tenders were obviously drunk and making themselves extra drinks left and right. When I went to get my drinks the bartender didn't give me my change and pocketed the cash. Worst bar experience I've had in Lubbock. read more

I have never had such a horrible experience before... The guy at the door was so rude and mean... I waited outside in the cold for a half hour. When I get to the door the guy was super rude and cussed at me.. I will never come here again just because of how poorly I was treated. There is a great server here named Adam and he is by far the best serve I have had. I have gone here a couple times in the past because of the great customer service from him. But I will never come back again because of how the guy at the front treated me. Like just cussing at me out of the blue... read more

This isn't a review towards Mesquites, it's towards the bartender CELESTE...I've never felt so victimized in my life. She will either overcharge your card by adding drinks or tip herself 100% and refuse to give you a receipt. For example, I had four drinks and three shots and it totalled out to be $60 and if you do the math, it should've been around $30. I have also found her serving my friends and I drinks with no alcohol. She violates TABC regulations beyond belief. When you go Mesquite's make sure CELESTE isn't your bartender or you'll get finessed. There have been many complaints amongst my friends towards this bartender, so beware. Despite the awful service she's provided, Mesquites has always shown me a good time. read more

WORST BAR IN LUBBOCK!! They stole money from me on my receipt when I forgot to mark out any tip and when I checked my bank statement they had added money! I called THREE times to let the manager know about this and the slutty dumb girls that work there acted like they don't understand what taking a message was, I still haven't heard back from the manager two weeks later! The bar was filthy and only the trashiest people around seem to go there anymore. read more

WARNING: if you're looking for fake drinks, come here. It is very evident that their liquor drunks do not contain liquor. In fact, I found that the bar tenders violate TABC regulations by not invalidating labels on empty liquor bottles (see attached images). My Titos & water was 99% water. This place has been and always will be a dump read more

Worst service EVER!!! Took 20 after we ordered to get our drinks...THEN the waitress spilt them all over us! 20 min later, she finally came back to clean it up! Had to order every drink after from the bar because our waitress was no where to be found. The beer wasn't even cold!!! Our order was wrong and took over an hour to get corrected and brought back out! Did I mention the place wasn't even busy!?!! Never again!!! read more

Don't threaten me with a good time! Mesquite's was a nice surprise in an otherwise unpleasant trip up to Colorado. The drinks are cold and the pours are stiff (you would be surprised what tipping will get you). Just keep in mind that Lubbock is a college town and Mesquite's is packed with a lot of students. read more

Car was backed against Mesquite's building under their "balcony" windows. Came out to my new car covered in beer, limes and mixed drinks. Employees of Mesquites would not admit it was their customers who did this and basically said "sorry, not our problem." They even admitted it happens frequently, they do not park their own vehicles at their own bar. Definitely don't recommend this place, terrible customer service. I would give them zero stars if I could. read more

the drinks are 10% alc 90% soda and cost more than anywhere else, honestly i fuckin hate this place. i have a lot of friends working here and it's stil bottom of the barrel, literally don't come here it's trash. also fuck the bouncers acting like working at skeets is a real job read more

everyone who works here is so fucking sexy i cant handle it the vibe here is so fun and i always get more than what i paid for. best bartenders ever. read more

For those that are unfamiliar with Mesquites, please be advised that this is a bar, not a restaurant. It does serve food, which is pretty good as far as bar food goes, but it is still bar food nonetheless. Mesquites is known as a college bar and is usually filled wall to wall with them. If you are young and want a fun night out on the town, Mesquites is your place! It has a great upstairs patio, cheap drinks (try their pickle shots!) and busy night life. Next to Gas Light, this is by far one of my favorite bars in Lubbock. read more

Line was 20 feet long but takes an hour to get into this dump? Please. Waited for 20 minutes to get my drink also ordered a couple mixed shots to make up for lost time, needless to say they were made completely wrong I shook my head as I watched and gagged trying to swallow whatever monstrosity was served to me. My tab was ridiculous for over a hundred bucks I could go buy everything I need to learn how and to make drinks the right way. Get some competent knowledgeable staff with brains larger than that of a peanut. read more

Hey mesquites, you like ripping people off?? I had a bar tab that was unreal, whatever no big deal but two bar tabs??? The little __ ___ ___ ___ bar tender wanted cash so told me I had two bar tabs since she saw the cash in my hand.. Get real and the door guys are a joke. Only one door guy was competent.. Tell the bald guy go play russian roulette else where. read more
