What Is Bubba's 33?

Bubba’s 33 is a small chain of sports bar restaurants started by the guy who also founded Texas Roadhouse. His nickname was Bubba, hence the "Bubba" in Bubba's 33. The 33 is for the year Prohibition ended.

Its vibe is casual, family-friendly atmosphere meets garage bar that shines the spotlight on “[Bubba's] favorite things: America, food, family, sports and beer,” according to its website.

The  Bubba’s  concept is TV-lined walls, sports-related paraphernalia, a lot of neon, and big portions of comfort food.

The Bubba's Menu

Menu items include the usual sports bar fare of burgers, pizza, and wings as well as “tuck-your-napkin-in-your-shirt goodness” dinner meals such as lasagna, rib eye, and southern fried chicken breast covered in country gravy. There’s an decent selection of draft beer, cocktails, and wine, and a 12 & Under kids’ menu.

The website also touts that everything is made in-house from scratch daily “right down to the sauces on our wings and dressings on our salads.”

Yes, they have salads, but don’t let that fool you. The menu doesn’t look like it’s for those watching their weight. And that’s how we like it around here, am I right?

Bubba's in Cruces

A Bubba’s 33 is also opening in Las Cruces. The LC restaurant is nearing completion next to Pecan Grill and Brewery at 510 S. Telshor Boulevard. It's expected to open in February, 2023.
