Lubbock's HIDDEN GEM of a Venue!…read more I recently booked 56 Social for my 40th Birthday Party. From the tour, to the event, and the communication in between, it was a top notch experience. It is the perfect spot for smaller events with such great amenties. The outdoor space is just as great as the indoor space, and the kitchen was perfect. Highly recommend 56 Social

I had to delete my first review, as it was for a different business…read more I have however attended a wedding at this venue, and let me just say, it is beautiful. This place is a little hard to find. But plenty of parking space!! It's decorated so nice and it's SO clean. I wish I had gotten more photos of everything, the place was HUGE and workers were very nice and attentive! The rooms for the groom and bride were spacious as well, if you're looking for a venue for an event, I would definitely recommend this place!

The Horseshoe Knot Event Center is a hidden gem just outside of Lubbock, Texas. Link to their…read morewebsite: http://www.horseshoeknoteventcenter.com/home.html Fair warning: A trail of dust will follow as you navigate the country roads. To tell the truth, I was surprised certain wedding attendees made it on time since it's so secluded. Lol. My cousin and his long time significant other finally recently got married here. It was perfect for their laidback lifestyles. The bride's mother - who is a friend of mine - and their family all enjoyed planning their event and working with the employees here. The ceremony took place outside at the gazebo. Guests found their seats on wooden benches. Soon after, the party started in the barn a short walk away... a few chandeliers, rustic interior, and beautiful decorations adorned the space. The restrooms were always very clean and tidy. The bartenders, provided by Horseshoe, were friendly and quick. Security was also provided by Horseshoe, but I was a bit taken aback by uniformed sheriff deputies. Nonetheless, no one got kicked out or arrested, not even my rowdy husband. Overall, this is a charming place for a wedding venue or a special event. Highly recommended. '18 Challenge #28

The cost is $10 a head (cash only). If you go home hungry it's your own fault. The buffet includes brisket, sausage, chicken and dumplings, beans, coleslaw, a few other fixins and dessert. Oh and then there is the BEER and WINE that is also included in the price! Yahoo!!!! They also have a local musician playing during lunch as well and if the mood hits you can grab your partner and do a little boot scootin.... to burn lunch off. All in all it is a great way to enjoy some very good food in a very relaxing setting as you are wrapping up your week. Stop in and see for yourself. You will be glad that you did for sure.

Every table is a small with four seats, which makes it harder to mingle and get to know other people. My biggest complaint is the food and service; the beef was mostly burnt chunks, the sausage was bland, the tortillas were dry, and insisting that one person serve from two meat trays for 500+ people made it take forever. They had to start the program while half the people were still in line so that the schedule for the whole night wouldn't be thrown off. They even made a big deal about forming two lines and going down both sides of the table, but Chuck had to mete out the burnt beef, weird tortillas, and nameless sausage one person at a time. Then, after serving yourself beans, corn, and potatoes, the peach cobbler was pre-portioned in servings of about three tablespoons! And it was cold. Worst "Texas BBQ" I have ever had, even compared to other event centers. Staff came through while the kids were doing awards and took plates, even though some of them had barely started eating. I will never recommend 4BarK as a location for an organizational event. Two stars because none of the staff was actively rude. P.S. The restrooms are labeled as "Stables" and are about that nice - gentlemen might as well go urinate on the barn wall out back.

He didn't call us, we had to call him to find out. We had a hard time getting in touch with him to get our deposit back. He wasn't even the one who came to the place to give us the money. I am just appalled at all of it. It is nearly impossible to find a reception venue 2 days before a wedding. On top of that I had to contact all the guests and explain the change of venue. It was stressful and I am still just so angry.

I tried the Rotie Blanc and the Dolcetto and immediately joined the wine club. I may not live close enough to come every day, but I can't wait to enjoy my Llano wines whenever they ship them to me (and, of course, my Sweet Red from HEB!) Sounds like the ownership group is new and is updating a lot of stuff in really fun and innovative ways. I can't wait to return. Kudos to Dave, Grace, Mackenzie, Matt, and the rest of the crew in the tasting room. Way to make wine fun again. #Fan4Lyfe

You feel far out, but it's only 15 minutes from downtown Lubbock and an easy drive. Staff were friendly, and we enjoyed the large space indoors and outdoors. The cushion wicker furniture on the patio was comfortable. I did not see a snack menu nor was offered one even though another review mentioned a charcuterie board. It would have been nice to have a bowl of nuts or something simple while tasting. I only gave 4 stars because as a red wine drinker, they were not my favorite wines, but they weren't bad either. I would definitely visit again!

On a beautiful Friday night, there are a few great places in Lubbock to grab a drink. If you want…read moreto know what fun looks like, Mano Negra on a Friday night has you covered. I haven't returned to Mano Negra since it moved from its old location in Cactus Alley to the heart of Lubbock. Their old spot was very tight but had such an unadulterated charm that made the space feel special. The new location feels a lot more modern, but as its fanbase continues to grow, it needed more space to work with anyway. Inside, there's a huge wall of art and plenty of seating, and it feels like a place that doesn't belong in Lubbock. It feels so mid-city that it almost made me emotional. In the back lies their bar, where they serve their famed sangria, house-brewed beers, and other beverages. Their bartenders are super knowledgeable and will help you make the right choice. In the corner are a few arcade machines, including Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat II, Defender, and Pac-Man. There are also plenty of board games to pick up as well. As for the drinks, the Sunset Sangria and their Sandia Sangria I had were both exceptional. Good sangria hits like nothing I've ever had before. Mano Negra's new spot has a great deal of outdoor seating and patio space. If the inside gets too loud or too crowded, and if there's live music like there was when I went, it can get LOUD. The outdoor space offers a quiet escape and a great conversation spot on a cool night in Lubbock. The overall vibe and energy of Mano Negra are lively. The Brazilian students playing music in the corner brought out a new level of energy to the night, and I had a blast going here. I warn that their drinks are a little strong and the energy can get a little hot, so you may find yourself three drinks deep, unable to resist getting your dance on a little bit. Have a little fun with it. RIYL: Feeling A L I V E on a Friday night
