Adolph's Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Lubbock

This will probably be our go-to place because it's within walking distance. However, do not expect that they are open until 2 a.m. as is advertised online. They are actually open until 1:30 a.m.. they are kind of jerks about kicking you out at that time. While serving you the staff is fairly nice and the bathrooms are unexpectedly clean. Overall it will be a positive experience. Just expect it to close earlier than is advertised on Google.

Updates since owner's response

The one thing I think would make a big difference is if you could somehow curb your doorman's terrible attitude towards customers. Everytime we have gone in there and asked him a question, he has given us a dickheaded response. One example is that we asked him "when does the bar close" and he responded "closing time." This happened upon entering, so there is no excuse for him. It's like we can never get a straightforward answer from that guy. The rest of your staff is fine, but it's fairly off-putting when that sneering jerk is the first person to greet you.

Putting that issue aside, I think that being as upfront as possible goes a really long way. I think that it would be a good idea to invest a few bucks to hang a sign informing customers of your credit card policies. Everyone thinks it's weird, but everyone would be totally fine with it as long as they were informed upon starting a tab. This would save the morning shift time in answering phone calls from confused customers. I think it would also save the wait staff time by not having to explain the policies in detail. I know that I, as a customer, initially felt hesitant to stay when I heard the policy the first time around, but I'm fine with it now that I'm aware of it.

Ultimately, I'm trying to say that 1) I think it would save you money in the long run to put up a sign regarding your card policies and 2) cheer up that doorman. I'd even settle for a...

To be fair, my fiancee and I enjoy Adolph’s. The atmosphere is cool, the staff is cool; we always have a good time. We had a good time during our last visit as well, except for a particular event, which took me aback, and unfortunately has convinced me not to return until some R&D gets done on the new bouncer team. Now, I’m not really sure what I did to upset these gentleman on this particular night, but as I had started to find the restroom, two different bouncers felt the need to rudely correct my stride and tell me where the restroom is, mind you not even knowing I was looking for the restroom. I could’ve been walking over to the bar, to see a friend that popped in, or even to simply exit the bar. Just chill man, let me walk around. Not like I was sitting in there licking windows before I got up to piss. I will return in a fiscal quarter to update this review, because again, I like this place. Also, it would be cool if the secret random pool tournament could be posted on the door, or… something? Because it lasts all night, and largely, Adolph’s is our favorite once in awhile pool spot. Understandably, many people share this sentiment, hence the tournament in the first place, which I think is cool, and would even like to join. It seems I may have to if I want to play pool here on any given Saturday. On a positive note, our waitress was lovely, drinks were cold and cheap as always, and we were able to have a nice time all things considered. I just know I can’t be the only man like myself who likes to come here, and hope some improvement is seen once we return in February or March. Love y’all! Oh, and Adolph, I do await your response, my good man. A star was removed after 7 days of nonresponse. A star was removed after 14 days of...

This place is incredible. I loved the karaoke, and the service . . . AMAZING!

When we walked in there was only one table available for my wife, my friends, and I. Seeing the crowd made me think think this was probably a pretty good place, but I thought for certain it was gonna be a long night of waiting on drinks; boy was I wrong.

The bartenders and wait staff were phenomenal. I don't think I was ever without a drink. Shout out to our server Robin; she was a rockstar.

Oh, I forgot to mention the food. I never expect much in the way of food when I go to a "bar". That being said, my expectations were more than exceeded. The food was terrific! It is, afterall, a GRILL and bar, not the other way around.

We went on Veterans Day, and the DJ asked all Veterans to make their way to the dance floor, and then asked everyone to give us around of applause in thanks for our service. I stood shoulder to shoulder with members of every branch and multiple generations; it was a really touching experience. Having seen a couple fellow vets, I took the time to grab a drink and share a couple of stories with a Marine and a Navy veteran; one from the Vietnam era, and one from the Gulf War era.

I'm so thankful to our friends for introducing us to this place. My wife and I have found our new date night hangout. Catch a movie then head to Adolph's to grab some food and a couple drinks while enjoying some karaoke, if we don't decide to take the...
