Back awhile ago, Crickets used to be one of my favorite bars to go to. They have over one hundred beers on tap, pool tables, shuffleboard, Foosball, and awesome live music. Their don’t have the best drink specials around, but the atmosphere was great. You can tell a lot of locals like to go there, because they have numbered mugs hanging on the ceiling, where you can sign up and pay a fee and get to have your own mug to drink from while you are there. You also get a small discount on each drink you purchase with the mug, and are inducted into the “Mug Club”. They also have a selection of cigars you can purchase while there, not that this matter to me at all. When I was first legal to go out, I loved going here. They have really good food, and it’s a good spot to catch a game because they have lots of sitting room. There are a few set backs to the bar though, other than the drinks being more expensive than most college bars. They only have one actual bar, so get ready to wait a bit before getting a drink. Out of no where here recently, it has been completely taken over by the “greek” of Texas Tech. It has became insanely popular, mostly because they let minors in too unlike most bars here. Most of the time, you can’t even find a seat.. It has eventually turned as bad as you can’t even go in with out waiting in a line, so I’ve just stopped even trying. The only time I go there anymore is if we go out on a random weekday, and it’s not going to be too crowded to even get a beer. It still gets my approval, though, for having such a large selection of draft beers. So go on a Tuesday and enjoy it without the crowd.
