    They get the drinks out pretty fast. The fall mule was a pretty good deviation from the norm.

    I just want to help this place out with Rachel C's comment below. First off, you can not smoke inside this place, so her comment about smoking is false. The place had a great bar, descent food and nice environment. I too am from out of town but they must be very opinionated when your from CA. The place is clean, efficient and a great gathering place, trust me.

    Went here for dinner with my friend, and really liked the food. I ordered the Lantern Tavern sandwich, and was not disappointed. I chose to get curly fries with it, which were really crispy. Really liked this place, and will definitely be back!

    Very nice spot! Great patio & Ziggy Approved. Ms. Cassidy was super friendly & made sure Zig had water. Flavorful food & nice beer selection! (One of my top three beers on tap- Community/Mosaic)

    Woo hoo!!

    This event was SO MUCH FUN. It was a much needed break from a busy week. I've never gone to a trivia night and so I didn't know what to expect. It was SO MUCH FUN. Even though the 'yelpaholics' may have come in (almost) last place...we had fun while we were doing it. The drinks were good and since we were among the first to arrive, Yelp treated us! So nice! Our community ambassador, Chelsea, suggested a new drink I've never tried. A French 75 (normal made with in but Chelsea and I chose to use Tito's vodka instead). So it was vodka, champagne, and lemon. So yummy and served in a martini glass which made me feel very classy! We got some Yelp! swag too!!! Buttons, chapstick, and best of all...pint glasses! So cool! I loved getting to know others in the Yelp! community of Lubbock. Chelsea is doing such a great job and I can't wait for the next hang out so I can meet more Yelpers!

    Had a wonderful time here with our friends from Amarillo. The service was great and the cocktails were outstanding. I will be back!

    Automatic 5 stars because they have a GOOD Shuffleboard. I love me some shuffleboard. This new…read moreplace not only boasts a shuffleboard, they have pool tables, a few arcade games, a gigantic stage (think Karaoke, Comedy and Music), LOTS of seating, good lighting, big screen wall-mounted TVs and we have not event talked about food or drinks yet. 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.

    What a disappointment. We were ignored for our first 10 minutes, then after ordering, the food took…read morea half hour to come out. 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. Okra and fries were not cooked all the way through; seems hard to mess up food service frozen food, but here we are. The hot chicken sandwich was made with chicken so tough I couldn't cut it. 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.

    Good salsa, pimiento cheese was Ok. Everything else was inedible.
