📍 Leather bars in Lubbock

7.4

Lantern Tavern in Lubbock stands out as a stylish leather-themed bar blending a laid-back yet sophisticated atmosphere with a curated selection of craft cocktails. The venue is particularly favored for its engaging events, such as Thursday Night Trivia, which adds a lively social element. Outdoor seating enhances its appeal, offering a relaxed setting for patrons to enjoy both drinks and meals.

While the service quality can vary—sometimes feeling overly slow or reserved—the establishment excels in creating memorable experiences for regulars. Specialty drinks and hearty options, like their burgers, are highlights, though consistency in food seasoning remains a point of attention. Ideal for date nights or casual gatherings, its charm lies in balancing unique ambiance with a welcoming, though occasionally uneven, hospitality approach.

This was one of my clients favorite spots for date nights and decided to capture their engagement here. The atmosphere is so cool and the staff are amazing. Definitely recommend if you want a cool setting and some good drinks.

This is just an opinion. We were looking for a fun an exciting place for some drinks. Decided on this, based on reviews. As we walked in, all the employees turned and looked at us, but, NOBODY smiled or said a word, or even greeted us. We stood at the doorway for a bit, feeling dumb, then slowly made our way to an open table. We sat, looked around and everything about this place felt weird. The place is small, lighting is boring, hell, even some of the patrons looked weird. Again, all the employees had weird, boring, blank faces. After about maybe 10 minutes of going over the boring menu, we couldn't take the energy in here anymore and walked out. I can't comment on food or drinks. Maybe if someone would have greeted or served us we could have ordered something. We probably would have left before being served anything though.

We sat outside. As this was my first time, I don’t know what it is like inside. The waitstaff was very friendly. The specialty cocktails were delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. The burgers are large and made hot to order. So good! Will be back again!

Their food is always too salty of too peppery. The cooks cannot manage how much it should be spiced and just overdo it. The chicken pot pie tastes like just black pepper goo. Pizza is burnt, hot dogs are salty and burnt, chicken is just too spicy I cannot taste the meat at all. And to make it even less enjoyable they would always serve you cocktails with 70% of it being ice.

Very disappointing lunch. Excited about the beautiful patio where we could sit with our dogs for lunch. We arrived at 1:05. At 2:55 we left. It took almost two hours to have brunch. Almost empty restaurant. Told it was slow because there was a big party inside. It was 10 people. Two other tables walked out after the first hour. We only stayed because we had the dogs with us. Reviews were good. Sadly the one that was true was the one about slow service and ignoring non regulars.

My friends and I come here weekly and absolutely love it! The patio is really nice and drinks are excellent! The service is always spot on; a place that truly cares for their customers. I always recommend my friends from out of town come make a visit!
