I came to eat something from the menu, but a lovely employee fed me for free! The bean soup was amazing! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

One of the best dive bars I have ever been to. The beers of mixed drinks are extremely cheap. It’s got a pool table great staff the bartender she was amazing they have some really good wings great environment I come here every time I’m rolling through Amarillo
As a trucker, I have been coming through here for decades, and if I didn't have to leave out early in the morning, would stop in here for a beer or two. Usually, there would be the bartenders and waitresses, a married local woman or two looking for a one-nighter, a dozen or more lonely drivers trying to compete for the attention of the women, and a local alcoholic or two, trying to make friends with people that buy drinks. The typical bar next to a truck stop. To me, it was mainly a place to have a cold beer and chat with other truckers. It had been years since I'd been through here, but last night, I found myself on a layover here, so I slipped in for a cold one. It wasn't anything at all like it used to be. I had a really good time! Definitely changed my mind about this place!
It's awesome! So much fun! Wish I was there tonight! Only thing is the cigarette smoke is strong, need a shower, and air out your stuff that you wear, or wash it. People are friendly and fun, great dj! He sang"Red Hot chili peppers"!😅😎👍🎶🎤
I would like to take this time to take bubbles and the ownership for giving all of us truck drivers stuck on the road.A very wonderful, delicious, awesome Thanksgiving dinner?I super love you guys
Not enough bartenders for speedy service but once you get waited on its pleasant. GREAT atmosphere. Little dive bat with a perfect mix of locals and passin through folks! Go on karaoke night.....the DJ is awesome and she does a great job!!
Kat, after defeating me 2 out of 3 times in arm wrestling, then rock paper scissors, (she goes rock every time), out of pity she played me a song called careless whisper, encouraging me not to cry, that she was proud of me for trying in front of a dozen handsome truck drivers, and that one day I could man enough to beat her in arm wrestling. BEST BARTENDER EVER!!
Had a great time here while visiting Amarillo! Met some good people, a local guy was selling flowers and we bought some then he did a couple magic tricks for us! Very neat experience, cool and classic American bar! I’d be a regular here if I lived in Amarillo! They have frosted mugs for beer, draft and tons of choices! There is a pool table and June box also!
Great bar, I was there early, but the bartender and owner were fantastic. I will absolutely stop by there again when I come through
Buckles is awesome the people here really make you feel at home especially on thanksgiving. I walked in and it seemed like everyone in the bar yelled welcome to buckles. They normally don’t have food here but on thanksgiving they have a huge feast available for everyone. I’ll always find a way to stop at buckles when I’m passing through.
Buckles Lounge is under new ownership. I was never there before. You would never know how cool this place is by looking at the outside. There are a wide variety of people that come here from locals to bikers to truckers from way out of town. The pool tables are standard coin-op bar tables but the sticks are in good condition and they have hand chalk. There is a dance floor and they are talking about having live music soon. You can have food Ubered in. They have Karaoke on Friday nights. Bartenders are friendly and the owner is down to earth and approachable. The atmosphere is great: nice and dark, with all sorts of stuff on the walls to check out. It is nicely air conditioned with a great sound system. When you step into this bar you are in a vastly different world than the one you left in the parking lot. It feels like the new crew are going to be doing some interesting things with this place.

Great night out, pizza was a bit behind, but.. there was quite a few ordering..karaoke was pleasing..good tables and decent folk
A not all together live karaoke dive with friendly staff and a mixed group of patrons. I had loads of fun watching my friend destroy some songs while shooting pool. Prices were cheap and the whiskey was weak just the way you'd expect. I'll keep coming back for a taste of the local side of life in Amarillo.
AI says they have a pool table, but they do not. Never been, but I didn't want to affect the rating so 4/5

Sometimes it is hot in there, sometimes it is cold. You never know hour to hour. The staff is slow moving so if you want to drink order as soon as you get there. It sometimes takes 30 or more minutes to get your drinks. Ask for ice as the beer is sometimes cold. The staff are all friendly though. The regulars are great too. The pool tables are great. The music is a really good mix of great tunes, oldies & modern.
After filling with steak at the Big Texan, stop by Buckles Lounge for a night cap. It's a dive bar with a lot of character. It seems to be frequented by truckers, as there is a truck yard nearby. We were there on a quiet Wednesday night.

This place really jumps. Folks, and staff are real sociable. Friday nite karaoke is my favorite time. They even had a wedding ceremony there on Sunday, and I was invited🤠. The owner didn't renew the lease of the folks running the place. They were doing good business. Business has dropped off, and l have stopped going there.

Bartenders have always been amazing. My favorites that have taken such great care of me are Katie, Summer and Kerri. Owner should consider growth bc the place is going down hill fast. If it wasn't for the bartenders I wouldn't return!!
This bar sucks i will come here again… bartender lindsley suck…
They would pull your beer bottle out of your hand forcefully at 1:45am. Amarillo way of service? If you're a truck driver, do me a favor and never come here.
Been stopping by this bar for yrs. They hired a new bartender that enjoys talking condensendingly to her customers. She takes 3 oz shots of Rumplemintze while doing a sort of strip tease towards the older men. She began yelling at me even though the bar manager was telling her to shut up. She tried to excuse her actions by saying she wasn't working that day yet she was running the register
