While our group was taking a short break between rounds and waiting for food and drinks, an older man aggressively approached us asking if we were using the bay we were sitting in front of. I politely explained that we were, and that the rest of our group would be right back. Instead of handling it professionally, he immediately became rude and confrontational, lecturing us about how "plenty of people would love to fill the bay" and calling us selfish for sitting there. We calmly offered to share the bay, trying to de-escalate the situation, and that's when he responded, "You're damn right I can use it , I own this place." Then his daughter chimed in trying to justify his behavior, acting equally sassy and entitled while talking down to me but trying to appear friendly asking me, "Do you see how that came off?" Honestly, no absolutely not because we were being polite and respectful the entire time until we finally felt the need to stand up for ourselves after being talked down to for no reason. The entire interaction was unnecessary, hostile, and embarrassing. Multiple people nearby were visibly shocked by how aggressive and disrespectful he was toward paying customers. We are grown adults spending money at your establishment, not children needing to be disciplined. If the owner wanted private space reserved for a graduation celebration, then reserve the bays ahead of time instead of berating customers he is the owner isn't he? There was absolutely no reason to approach us the way he did. Customer service and basic respect matter. I won't spend another dollar here, and I definitely won't support a business owner who treats people that way. I just wish I hadn't already spent almost $200 there before he ever approached us on food, drinks and balls for our group of 6.

When we walked in on May 19, 2026, the place was not too busy at around noon. Right away I noticed low lighting. Cool alternative, rock, and old R&B music playing in the background. A full bar. Pinball machines for tables. Lots of nostalgia in this place! Restroom was mostly clean. The food was okay. I wish there was a bit more flavor to everything. My daughter agreed. + The Damned Dog ($11) "All beef frank, house beef chili, cheddar, diced onions, and jalapeno crispies." This was good but the frank and chili needed more flavor. I opted for a side of house-made vegan potato salad (additional $1.50) instead of potato chips which really good. + The Sourpuss ($12) "Bratwurst, sauerkraut, pickle slice, crushed salt & vinegar chips, and queso fresco." My daughter enjoyed this with ketchup and mustard added and a side of smoked gouda mac. That mac was very tasty. We also noticed how crisp and spicy our Sprite and Dr. Peppers were. Loved that. I'd definitely go back again for a drink and maybe a sandwich next time. Ample lot parking.

The Cactus staff and volunteers including the owner made sure the whole experience ran smoothly. They have some of the best Popcorn in West Texas and their concession prices are great. We sat in the upper balcony and got to enjoy the show. There was not a bad spot in the theater since all the seats are slightly elevated so heads don't get in the way. They show great classic films here, have great singer-songwriters show up, and always help curate a great energy to Lubbock. Of all the places Phoebe could have chosen to play in Lubbock, I'm glad she chose Cactus because it was a worthy spot. RIYL: Good music and even better popcorn

Parking was free, ample, and just across the street. Will call was super quick. The Seminole native was absolutely a joy to watch. While she was a bit difficult to hear through their sound system between songs there in the Helen Devitt Jones Theater, her stories we did hear made us laugh hard and helped us realize how cowboy she really is. The modern facility had a spiral staircase just inside the main entrance plus their logo that both look like tornadoes. My significant other & I loved our seats ($88.45 apiece after fees & taxes) at Right Orchestra Loose, Row V, Seats 47 & 48. No one in front of us. No one behind us. We could scoot our chairs closer together - not like most of the theater's seats. During our event, it was required to purchase a reusable, refillable plastic commemorative Buddy sip cup that can be brought to other events for any beverage. The cup was $3. My single shot of Crown Royal whiskey with Coke was $10 (not including the $3 required cup). The staff members were all pleasant to deal with & mostly quick to eliminate nuisances.

It changed recently and is now a open to all bar called "Ohm". The set-up was very wacky. There was really cool red glowing cube seating mixed with nice leather couches, manikins, and hipster looking signs. It was quite the hodgepodge of items to say the least. It actually worked though. I liked it. It made me feel like it was a true "nightclub". They hired a crazy disc jockey and everything. There was of course crazy lights going all over the dance floor. The drinks were fairly priced and heavy handed. The bartenders were two very lovely ladies that I chatted with for a while since we got there before the huge crowd came. I really enjoyed my time here and would come again. They are only open on the weekends and sometimes they will open on a Thursday. If you are looking to go to a crazy fun bar not in the Depot District, this is your dive.

To be absolutely honest, I can never really figure out where to begin this kind of story…read more But if I shall be so bold, I WILL say that the adventure's climax occurred about two hours AFTER I'd crossed the threshold of Ohm Nightclub and Bar, of Lubbock, TX, and into the orbit of a man with whom I'd spend the next few weeks in a state of elevated spiritual awareness, but then I got stabbed. Long story short: I basically met God, or rather: "the goddess," this chick named Diane. She was intense, but I'm getting ahead of myself. It's difficult to rest a fingertip upon this story's exposed nerve. Where does one declare: "in the beginning"? and at which precise moment is it appropriate to collapse into the cozy armchair of a definitive "THE END"? Let's go back a few days, to North Little Rock, Arkansas. Peter (my companion) had recommended we rendezvous at "Sir Loins Inn" for brunch, which is a medieval-themed steak house, and (frustratingly) not the LGBTQA dance club we'd hoped to experience. I mean: Sir Loins Inn. COME ON Peter was wearing mustard-yellow Adidas three-stripe break-aways, and his hair was braided in the fashionable "corn row" manner. Seated as we were in tall, high-back throne-like chairs, our needs attended to by a staff of dark-ages-costumed knaves and whatnot, Peter looked magnificent, something like a Caucasian blend of Lionel Richie, and that cool keyboard player in Prince's band "The Revolution." You know: the guy in the doctor's outfit, but not the doctor keyboard player from Night Ranger, if that means anything to you, because it should. Pete was chewing thoughtfully upon steak tip onion rings, and after some debate (and rising distress on my part that he'd been literally chewing upon the same "tip" of meat for 46 minutes), we'd agreed to roll a custom-made 17-sided dice to settle a decision regarding our next stop on an westward sojourn we'd hoped would culminate in Clovis, NM. After several rolls, we decided to head towards Clovis immediately. We popped a few caffeine pills and hit the road. Nine hours and 36 minutes later, we arrived in Lubbock, and we both had to urinate so badly I literally thought I was about to literally die. We parked his Pontiac Le-mans, and ran indoors. The bar's lay-out was incredible, far as I could tell, as I ran through the establishment, and into the restrooms. That first impression was a bit of a blur, to be honest. The urinal has this cool little air-freshener "fan" thingy that you pee on. The more you pee, the faster it goes, an eventually it ends with a fortune. Mine said "basically everyone has HPV," which was really helpful advice. Timely, actually. Peter and I settled in at the bar, and had a few cold ones. The bar was HOPPING. I will never forget it. At the time it seemed as if I had never before seen so many attractive men and women not on the freeway. A man approached, and said hello. His name was Ray, Ray Stubbs, as I recall, and he said something really cool like "I'm about to introduce you to God, man, and it's going to be amazing." I remember saying something like "that sounds cool," but then Ray said "but don't say anything to her about (X) or she will straight-up stab you." And in that, Ray was not wrong. Diane totally stabbed me, but that wasn't until later. It didn't happen at Ohm. We actually had a super good time there. Food was great, DJ was amazing, and upon reflection I liked not getting stabbed there, not even once. That happened later
