DTN's Best of Lubbock: I have no idea how well this is going to go over, but the point of all of this is to get it straight from you guys as to the Best of Lubbock. This will serve as a guide to Big 12 fans who visit Lubbock. We'll have one each week, with the first part of the week being reader submissions and at the end of the week, I'll compile the most talked about suggestions and make a poll.
DTN Poll: Best Bar
I've taken your comments and from earlier this week and today we put it to a vote.
I should also mention that I'm doing this a day early because I have a feeling that we may need a run-off over the weekend, especially with 14 nominees (if I missed one, please voice your displeasure in the comments).
Who has the best bar in Lubbock (in no particular order): Cricket's; Chimy's; Murphy's Pub; Cujo's Sports Bar & Grill; Rocky Larue's; Lone Star Oyster Bar; Texas Cafe & Bar; Caprock Cafe; Schooner's Grill & Bar; Adolph's Bar & Grill; Buffalo Wild Wings; Bash Riprock's; Recovery Room; and Jazz.

Cheap beer and good food.
And it’s probably the most crowded place in LBK around a major sporting event.
BWW...
has very nice scenery and the televisions aren’t bad either. One last thing…cheap cold beer. Do you get it now?
Just because sheep flock there doesn’t make it a good bar. The service always sucks at every BWW I’ve ever been in (only go there when outvoted by friends and in loud protest) and that includes at least a half dozen locations I can think of. Can’t recall any good beer specials either, but I have never been to the Lubbock location, only multiple DFW locations, and Abilene. Maybe the Lubbock BWW is a statistical anomaly. Doubt it.
I voted for Rocky’s BTW. 2001-2003 the $2 Rolling Rocks and FAST bartenders endeared that place to me forever.
So...
Is Crickets a sports bar? If so, how is it different than Buffaloe Wild Wings? And last, and certainly not least, would a 40 year old bald guy fit in there? Just lookin for options to fit my demographic…lol
We kinda like Riversmiths as well. I’ve seen several games there lately, even though I’m not a really big fan of the food yet…but maybe I haven’t had the right dish. It tastes very similar to Long Johns to me, very greasy. They always have the big game on the big screen, if not, ask them. I can eat just about anything and be happy though, especially if there is a good game on:)
Cricket’s isn’t a chain restaurant, and I wouldn’t call it a sports bar. There’s a small stage for live music in a corner, and the walls aren’t plastered with televisions. I’ve seen plenty of adults in there, it’s a pretty relaxed place, large drink selection, high ceiling, pool and shuffleboard tables that are sometimes free.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
really?
how could you put Buffalo Wild Wings on the list and not Fox and the Hound?

I must have missed it in the comments from the submissions.
My bad. I knew that I screwed up somewhere.

I forgot the bar we used to go to for wing night. down off of buddy holly or somewhere in that area. Bleachers maybe?
That ended when they changed wing night to 50 cents a wing.
Plano Jeff….Bash’s is still there and I left Tech in 92. I have not been impressed with Crickets or even Bleacher’s (before it went under). Lone Star Oyster Bar gets my vote…, never crowded, not a meat market, hole in the wall-ish where you can drink with your profs, and good scenery.
Threw up at least once every hour and half for 24 hrs after eating and taking a few shots at the Oyster Bar a couple years back.
The other time I was there I had a great time, but I just can’t bring myself to go back. I’m thinkin it was the food cause I don’t usually stay sick near that long.
Except that time I drank 3 Micky’s Big Mouths and half a pint of MadDog, then bonged the other half of the pint and two Coors Lights all within an 1.5-2 hours time…woke up in my dorm room 6 hours later with my own puke in my hair…lol!…yeah, I had hair!! I’m thinkin I’m very lucky to have woken up, even with thrown up MadDog on my favorite shirt!
if you drank more/harder liquor you wouldn't have gotten sick from the oysters ;)
