That setup definitely changes the flavor of cigars. Cigars 101. They had two humidifiers going with a door open. Cigars from here crack a lot in my experience and require extra time in a humidor to restore them. Lubbock is a town of dirt, wind, and heat. I've been to many lounges in many states, know rollers, cigar brand owners, and lounge owners. It seems that Karma prefers to show off overpriced cigars versus having a smaller humidor to protect them. Their other location doesn't do this. When my friend and I began talking about how she wants to move away from sweet tips to everything else, she said she'd like to see how to do that and asked how my experience was. I began explaining that in almost the 10 years I've been smoking, it took me some time to move on and she should perhaps look into coffee, chocolate, and cream notes. She mentioned how she'd have a lot more variety to choose from if she enjoyed regular cigars. My move from sweet tips wasn't on purpose. It naturally happened. We walked over to the other side of the store where she asked me how to begin trying other cigars and enjoy them, notice the various notes, etc. I began saying, "Well, if you want to transition from sweet tips to everything else, I'd stay off the heavier notes like pepper, maybe stick to a lighter type cigar with the notes I mentioned...". Here comes this short manager who interrupts our conversation to overstep me. "There's no transitioning from sweet tips. If you like sweet tips, stick to only smoking those." I look up like WTF? I was speaking of my own experience and was talking to only her. He hadn't even heard what we were talking about before going near him before he interrupted me. I used to smoke only sweet tips and now? I don't. He's full of sh**. It was so rude to interrupt with this high and mighty attitude. If she wants to move from sweet to a lighter cigar, then she will. You don't need to jump in and tell a customer who's already spent hundreds there that they don't need to. What the? Don't go to this place. It seems I'm not the only one who's experienced this attitude. This is also the same place that has a rumor out of telling people the other lounge in town is snobby but Karma is the place with that attitude, not the other way around. The other place? Welcoming. Absolutely welcoming and kind, no attitude like this place. Apparently, short guy here thinks he knows everything. Find a better place. The only star given is for cleanliness. I'd give another for variety but since everyone else's second hand smoke is tainting the flavor (I bought some cigars to try and taste the smoke destroying the notes of my favorites), variety doesn't matter at this point. Head to the other place.

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.

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.

I was out having a beautiful night with my girlfriend. Life feels special when I get to spend time…read morewith her. As we were leaving our very special dinner date, we were driving through downtown Lubbock off Broadway when a place we had never seen before passed by the car window. In perfect unison and harmony, she and I said, "What place is that? Narrow Bar?" We had never seen it before. Was it new? Were we just blind all this time? Narrow Bar has been around. We truly have been blind all this time. Through my four years of college and then some, I had never heard of it. Tonight would change that. As I reached Avenue Q, we turned around to investigate. Narrow Bar is attached to the Wells Fargo building with, shockingly, a narrow indoor bar. The outside is what grabbed our attention: an expansive patio filled with a live music trio and young adults casually having a great time. Was this bar one of Lubbock's best-kept secrets? Having had a few drinks already, we agreed on a one-and-done experience to try this place out. We were handed an expansive drink menu listing four categories: classic cocktails, contemporary cocktails, signature cocktails, and mocktails. I immediately eyed one of my favorite cocktails, a Carajillo, while my girlfriend yearned for the IYKYK (a Porn Star Martini). Our server took our order, and it wasn't long before our drinks reached the table. My Carajillo came with one of those big ice cubes (an actual cube), which was awesome, and the drink itself was really well done. Their espresso cold brew gave it a strong coffee profile that wasn't as sharp as other Carajillos I've had, which I think benefited the drink, especially being mixed with the slightly citrusy Licor 43. As for my girlfriend, she was really excited for her martini and adored it, notably because it came with prosecco. The space is really nice on a cool Lubbock night as it faces the street of downtown Lubbock. The band playing was not a cheesy bar band but actually quite good, pulling some deeper tracks out of their hat, including "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The lead vocalist had this Steve Miller vocal inflection going on, so I requested any Steve Miller song, and we got the always enjoyable "Fly Like an Eagle." They had no tip jar sadly, but my hat goes off to you guys. It was a short experience, but a great impression enough to make us know we're coming back the next time I visit her in Lubbock.
