    Drove 18 hours from California and found this gem of a BBQ spot. Tyree was super cool and welcoming, Cecily was a great server and we loved the cold beers and jalapeño sausage! Sides were amazing and the brisket was awesome!

    Was visiting Lubbock for a work meeting we arrived late and were looking for a place still open where we could grab dinner. This was a nice little local joint with live music that we really enjoyed. There pizzas are on point and got the spot. Definitely recommended. Our Uber driver also mentioned something about it being the oldest bar in town.

    Our family has been coming here for years. Yesterday, we had all the friends come out to celebrate the life of a dear friend that passed. Many years ago, he was a bartender here, so this was how we wanted to honor him. We called and gave notice a day or 2 before, and ended up having around 30 people come. Briana (Bri) took care of all of us and did an absolutely amazing job. For a group this big, you'd expect delays, but that didn't happen. The drinks were fast and cold, the food was amazing as always. The positivity and kindness of Bri was exactly why we all love coming back. For such a hard day, she sure made our crowd smile. Thank you Bri!

    Great dive bar in Lubbock! Cold beer, including Dos Equis on tap, that is a rarity. Sat at the bar, fast service! Ordered the brisket burrito (or taco?). Damn good food! Excellent chopped brisket, NO sauce necessary! Chips and salsa too. Salsa was rich and flavorful. No big chunks of onions or tomatoes. Damn good stuff! Looking for a throwback to good times with good food and cold beer, stop in! Full bar too! Live music.

    Best pizza in town! Go on Thursday for the best deal. It's amazing. Staff is friendly and attentive.

    It's a BBQ based menu, v Texas

    Our waitress was young and sweet and cute, but literally didn't know what a michelada was, so we said it real slow with zero Spanish accent, and she got two for a friend and I on a pretty busy Saturday night. She was so honest in her effort to figure out what we were ordering (much appreciated), and the bar tender clearly knew what was up, because the two micheladas we were eventually brought were really perfect. I am picky about how weak my favorite drink often is, especially at not-Mexican places, but these were spot on spicy. The table ordered a pitcher of some sort of sinister sweet frozen cherry sinfulness. It made my teeth click together from the sweet, but by the bottom of the pitcher it was making all of our right eyes twitch from how stiff it was. Not sure I'd ever order the stuff myself, but the boyfriend was enthusiastic about it. Three of us ate there. A pizza, the Spoon nachos, and the brisket fries were ordered. I got the fries, and ate every single last damn one when it probably could have fed three people. They were that good / I was that hungry. A girlfriend ordered the nachos and said they were too spicy, which I think is really wimpy. I suppose if you can handle any normal level of spice they were mild at most. Order accordingly. The friend who got the pizza talked about how good it was, like, every third bite. It was an 8-inch personal pizza, and he scarfed the whole thing down. I am really impressed with the food we had, and I rarely am at what seem like run-of-the-mill, ~ooh look we're in Texas, we're a BBQ joint~ places, but this outfit seems to be the real deal. On Saturday there was music playing over the sound system that was very 'Oh, I know this song!' country & classics, then later on a funk band came on (quite the gear shift) dressed in Creamsicle Orange and white. They were fabulous and we had so much fun grooving for the little time we were there while they played. There were people up front dancing, and it was so fun! Overall a really positive experience. I highly recommend this as a night place to eat before going out or as a we-never-go-out couple's date night.

    Jesse Day and the Texas Nights played the night we went and it is a perfect place to listen to music and really just relax. We will return.

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.

The chips and queso were an appetizer but came out with the rest of the food. Queso was extremely burned so I asked for it to be removed from the ticket; instead, they replaced it with spicy broccoli cheese soup. Okra and fries were not cooked all the way through; seems hard to mess up food service frozen food, but here we are. The hot chicken sandwich was made with chicken so tough I couldn't cut it. The hot sauce was nice, the salsa was decent. My giant mug of beer was flat but at least it was cold. Overall: poor food, slow service. Was hoping for better.

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
