We attended a concert/Halloween party at the Backroom. Mid-concert we went into the restaurant to get food, then returned to the concert, which was very handy. Alcoholic beverages were only $5 at the concert. The service was slow, but it was also pretty busy. Update visited in August. Great food and great service

Jakes is honestly pretty awesome! The food is good and it has a great atmosphere. I mainly visit for shows and live music, not much of a sports fan lol. My only qualm with Jakes is that the backroom gets insanely hot and muggy during shows but other than that its awesome! Definitely a staple in Lubbock if live music, beer, sports, and having a good time is your thing.

Went to a show there last night had a great time. I have heard what a great place, and it is truly an original place you must visit in Lubbock. And they support local and/or small bands, more reason to support Jakes.

This place is awesome!! If you are looking for a dive bar with great atmosphere and the greatest wait staff around (Ally is the best you could ask for). Whiskey Wednesday is the best drink special in town. Music rocks and if you are Stars fan they put it on the big TV. Check it out if you are looking for cold beer, shots and Texas hockey hit this place up.

Im only giving this place a 1 star because zero and less arent available. Lets start with the good. The concert venue is pretty nice and smoke-free, so go there and enjoy some pretty inexpensive drinks and music. (Just avoid the restaurant entrance) Dont even try the restaurant/bar side. To say it smells like 30 years of active smoking is an understatement. I know they tried to look cool years ago to their smoker regulars and are still trying, but they dont look cool the dont smell cool. They arent cool. Straight garbage, and theres a reason the restaurant isnt busy and doesnt have good food. The customers who can stand to eat there lost their taste buds to smoking years ago. Build an outdoor smoking patio and dont allow smoking indoors, and your sales will go up. Times have changed. Get with it or get left behind.

Didnt realize smoking was allowed so probably wont be back. Food was wonderful. The server we had was fun and took good care of us. Drinks seemed watered down. I got a double and still couldnt taste anything but the mix. We were there for emo night and Im sorry but the sound system is really bad so the fun ended early as we couldnt stand to not really hear the music... Womens bathroom was down to 2 out of the 4 toilets by 9pm due to not flushing.

And for those who think Oh, it must have been the alcohol. Two Ultras is not past my limit. Drinks, are great and the atmosphere screams Dive which I really love. Im gonna keep going to Jakes, but ill eat somewhere else before I go in.

I came in from out of town to visit with some friends and family and we ended up here at Jakes. Drinks were amazing. Food was quick. The service however BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL!!! Little did I realize that I was actually dealing with a manager named Rhiannon. She was not only taking care of me and my table but, everyone and everything else at the same time. She was walking around checking on everyone in there Hi!! Welcome to Jake s!! How is everything? Do you need anything? If I were still in the bar and restaurant industry, I would most definitely love to have this woman on my team of management!!

Leaving now because service was the absolute worst. Pollyanna was more concerned w the other servers personal life than her job. She stood and talked while we got our own ashtray, menus, and ordered thru the manager. She then was hostile when asked for silverware and napkins. Our drinks sat on the end of the bar for 8 minutes. A cheeseburger was brought without cheese and she stomped off cussing. The manager?, Gabriel, made it right on the ticket and his damage control must be a full time job!! We will be back but will make sure the server is someone else first. Good luck, Gabriel!!

AWFUL!!! Here on a Friday night. Live band playing when first arrived and there was only one open seat. After the band stopped, there was a mass exodus. Order a beverage and sandwich, got the beverage. Found out 25 min later, my ordered sandwich was no longer available. Changed to simple burger and regular fries. 30 min later got the burger and heat lamp Curly fries. The burger tasted like a chopped steak that was thrown on a bun. The topping were half of a paper thin tomato and a quarter size pice of onion. The server was not. Screwed up 2 drink orders and could not be bothered to return to the table. I cannot speak for all the servers but this skinny kid should have been on mop duty and not interacting with any customers. Best advice stay away save your money, save your stomach, save your frustration!!!!
