BYOB: Lubbock Restaurants Where You Can Bring Your Own Alcohol
Maybe you are really picky. Maybe you just love to save money. Maybe it's a very special occasion, and you have just the right bottle saved to mark the date. There are plenty of reasons to want a BYOB restaurant in Lubbock- but where can you go? Luckily, I asked LBK Foodies, and they knew plenty of great options for BYOB in the hub, which offered different cuisine styles and vibes to suit the occasion and your mood.

Italian Garden 1215 Avenue J #102
This incredibly popular Italian restaurant is BYOB with a modest $5 cork fee, which provides you with nice glasses to use, and your server will even pop the cork for you. Italian Garden can host large parties and even offers a private room (you will want to make reservations for either). Its downtown location makes it a popular stop for folks attending any events downtown, like shows at Buddy Holly Hall or even events like graduation ceremonies. Additionally, the prices vs the qualtity and quality of food will leave you impressed.
Mi Taco Village (220 Regis St)
This hidden gem in North Lubbock is a little oasis, which has absolutely legendary Mexican food (get the chili rellanos with queso and thank me later). Mi Taco Village frequently has live music on weekend nights and has the most welcoming vibes in Lubbock. And you can bring a few cold ones to enjoy if you like.

Yamagata (5905 82nd St #104)
This Japanese steakhouse is perfect for celebrations and special occasions, and you can bring your own bottle of sake- or whatever you wish. You'll enjoy the "show" of traditional steak house hibachi (please! throw the shrimp in my mouth!), and other style entrees are available as well.
Papa V’s Pizza (8008 Abbeville Ave)
Is there any combination quite so good as an ice-cold one with a slice of fresh, quality pizza? Papa V's is BYOB so you can bring whichever "cold on" you like. While famous for their pizza, Papa V's also has great wings, salads, and pasta dishes too, and they do offer a kid's menu.
