Literally the coldest beer in the valley, and a great little dive bar. Chill vibes and good beer everyone I go there!

We were recommended this bar from people after the Lodi wine fest. I showed up with and 8 of my…read morefriends for my birthday. We had a blast in the beginning. We were there for about four hours.... everybody left except me and my friend both of us females. As the night went on however, the locals came in. We had some big broad, flipping us off across the way while we were just sitting at the bar, and it got way worse. The two gentlemen sitting next to us were there from work and it was their first time as well. They were pipe fitters and they were staying at adjacent hotel, they were going to give us a ride home. For no reason at all about 10 Cowboys hats came our direction and threatened all four of us. We were backed up against the wall as they all stood up and walked over our direction. My friend and I got up and walked around, my friend kept saying this is horrible. We didn't do anything wrong. We keep asking the bartender what's going on why is this happening ??? My friend asked some guy are you just gonna let these guys jump us? The bartender said she was shutting it down told us that we needed to go around and get out of here from the back.. we called 911,four times!!! and no one showed up. We feared for our lives, fortunately one of the locals told us to sit by him and not move and assisted in getting a stranger to drive us all the way back to our hotel. We were so worried about the other two men who did absolutely nothing and were getting punked by the local hillbillies. We have no idea whatever happened to the two guys. We ended up going to their hotel and explaining in case they didn't show up from work the next day. I highly recommend that no one attends this bar unless you live in that neighborhood and know everybody; it's clear Lodi people should be NOT be recommending it. It's a safety concern at this point. And this probably won't be the last time.

Went to Buffalo Wild Wings today with my daughter. We were seated immediately by an older gentleman…read morewho was very friendly and let us know our server would be with us shortly. Within a minute, he came back and explained that she was busy and offered to take our order himself, which I appreciated. Our food came out in a timely manner and everything tasted good. Unfortunately, the service after that was disappointing. We never received a soda refill until we flagged down a waitress who asked if we wanted one. After saying yes, it took another 7-10 minutes before we got our drinks. During that time, she walked past our table several times and seemed to forget about the refill. The restaurant wasn't busy, and there appeared to be plenty of employees working. However, it didn't seem like anyone was helping each other out. Several employees walked by our table while cleaning nearby tables but never checked to see if we needed anything. Overall, the food was good, but the lack of attention to customers made the experience less enjoyable. Maybe next time I'll go to Wingstop, where at least I can refill my own soda.

My fiancé and I come here at least once a month, usually 2 or 3 times, and Scotty the bartender is the freaking best! He knows our drink order so we don't even have to say anything- poof! Like magic, the beverages just appear. The food comes out quick and is always good (spicy garlic and chipotle dry rub are our faves). We always sit at the bar but went a couple weeks ago and it was full so we took a table instead. I wish I remembered our servers name because she was great too! We eat out A LOT, and b dubs here in Lodi is top 2. Scotty solidified that for us but the wings are really good also. Oh, special shout out to their "alcohol of the month." I really don't know if that's what they call it but every month/holiday they feature a new boozy bev. Right now they have Jameson or green tea shots for $4!!!!! Where can you get good food and cheap alcohol paired with great service all under one roof?! I wasn't expecting to love b dubs this much but here we are. If you go, look for Scotty and tip him hella well because he deserves it!

I attended the R&B Pink Party at Sidelines Whiskey Jack's with a group of girlfriends, and we had…read moresuch a wonderful time! The food was exceptional! We enjoyed delicious Southern-style cooking, and everything was so good. The music was incredible! The place was packed, and people were singing and dancing along to their favorite R&B songs. The energy was great, and everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time. The venue itself is beautiful, spacious, and has plenty of comfortable seating. The waitstaff was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We had so much fun! I'm definitely looking forward to coming back, whether it's for dinner, drinks with friends, or another special event. Such a great place to spend an afternoon or evening!

We arrived around 4pm on a Friday and a few patrons were inside at the bar. We decided to sit at the bar to get a drink and food. Brandie helped up and she had a very upbeat personality. She was having a chat with a few other customers who seemed to be regulars but was still attentive to us the whole time. She made you feel like a friend! We ordered the steak sandwich and a chicken quesadillas along with our drinks. Both were really good! The steak sandwich was especially good. The place has ample seating inside a lot of parking outside. There are also plenty of TVs to catch any of your favorite sports games. It looks like this place can get busy with sports events and during weekend nights. I recommend their business!

I'm sure there's reasons why they don't, won't, can't carry them, but oh well. Getting used to Lodi being kind of a vegan food desert has been a bit challenging. There just aren't a lot of us veggie people here I guess. If you read my reviews you know I'm vegetarian. I review for people who are looking for veggie friendly food as a priority, and I include vegans wherever I can. Anyway now that Bridget W. told me about the Happy Cow app I will probably have more luck. Other than that pretty large gripe, this place is A Ok. Clean, quick service, customer service is adequate, food is made fresh to order, nothing too crazy. There are tvs to watch sports and the bathroom report is a pass with flying colors. It's usually packed full of families. But sorry not sorry, unless I'm not very hungry while out and about with my partner, we're going to pick Buffalo Wild Wings every time because they have cauliflower wings for me. So if someone reading this has any pull, maybe consider having the beyond chicken option that your website implies that all of your locations carry.
