DTN's Best of Lubbock // Reader Submissions for Bar

I don’t remember if you decided on categories Seth but I’ll throw in two.

Best overall bar atmosphere with massive selection of beer – Crickets
Best for girl watching – Chimy’s

I really like being there on Tuesday nights during the live jazz sets

Sports, beer and good looking girls… what else do you need? They actually have really good food, too. Awesome pizza.

Located right on Broadway across from campus they have great bartenders, live music, and cheap beer.

Spent a lot of time in the fox and hound. hated it. chain bars >:[. (don’t put that up there. on the plus side, they actually give you refills on the chips and salsa).

I’d suggest schooner’s if they’d actually update their TV’s to HDTV and their air circulation system so that you could breath in there. And got rid of their karaoke dj.

A good portion of my student loans went to keeping them in business.

Both have good drink specials

But also, Recovery Room, Cujo’s, Cricket’s, and last but definitely least, Adolph’s. haha

That was always fun.

another vote for Cricket’s. It doesn’t have much seating, but it is a great place to go stand and have a beer and play some pool/shuffleboard (free on Sundays). Nice bar/non-dancing club atmosphere for no cover.

Crickets.
Now I will say I do you go Buffalo Wild Wings when in town for games and I love that place as well but it’s a chain of course.

1. Bash’s (great drink specials and location with pool, darts, and a good beer selection)
2. Cujo’s (best sports bar)
3. The Gas Light
4. Mesquites (best beer/food combo place) and best interior appeal IMO.
5. Triple J Chophouse- local brewery with great food

Crickets is a chain, isn’t it? Not sure but I swear I have been to one in the Metroplex somewhere.

I was in LBK last weekend and went to a new place called Fuzzy’s. They had awesome fish tacos, really recommend it and it was near campus.

less we forget $2 pint nights and a WIDE variety of beers, i feel i should submit Fox and the Hound… favorite place and i go there every thursday with my friends :)

I forgot, but Seth may want to reminde people not from Lubbock, that most of the resturants in city limits are smoking free. Not many cities are like that. And this doesn’t pertain to bars of course.

Something I had to adjust to when i left lubbock (asking for nonsmoking section)

on 58th street. I lived there in College.

Except on Fridays. That place turns into a madhouse.

I know I may be old school Class of 1993 but Bash’s is my spot!

Beer selection is probably one of the best in town, bar games are fun and kept in good condition… AND its close enough to grab a few pints in between classes.

there is no doubt. I like to go back to places that were around in the 80’s…..going to either O bar is so damn natural. I logged in many hours at both locales…..you can’t beat them. Jazz is still there…right? Monday nights after chapter meeting…like clockwork. Mesquites for Bloody Mary’s and Beer Garden for everything else.
I have since been to other places, and thought the gaslamp and other places were fun. After much consideration…..I vote for either O bar. You walk in and 7 hours later you leave. FYI, don’t try the Dirty Larry shot.

The tough thing is there are very few “adult” bars in Lubbock. I mean bars that don’t cater to college kids. It would be tough if I lived out there these days. I went to Chimy’s and Crickets last fall and felt like the weird old dude we used to get creeped out by when I was a student. The scenery and talent haven’t changed a bit, though ; )

Fat Dawgs, Coldwater Country or Eli’s. You will need a time machine though. Set your dial for 1978 (on the plus side the drinking age was 18 in 1978, so you undergraduates will want to check these places out).
