Toby's is my favorite place in Wichita falls. I frequently visit this town, and spend all my Thursday nights here for Karaoke. I love playing shuffle board, and the petite blonde bartender always takes care of me and my friends. I have never seen a fight there (and I go on the weekends sometimes too). Cool patrons. Great service, and a  laid back environment for adults to have a relaxed night out. On the weekends they open up the WHOLE building...its huge! rooms upon rooms. I love it! -Mika
Review Source:this used to be a good place, but bad customer service and bad music have really made this place craptastic. Lack of seating and waitstaff make it awkward. The ONLY good thing about this place are their iced mugged yeagerbombs, I will go only to sit and sip on this favorite of mine, then I leave, and go to the second crappiest bar in town..old town, yay!
Review Source:Awwwww yeahhhhhh.
When my friend said we were going to one of his old haunts the night before his wedding I knew it was going to be a blast and Tobys did not disappoint.
Get there early enough to set up around the shuffleboard table, enjoy the drink prices (easily 1/2 to a 1/4 of what you'd pay in Dallas or Ft Worth) and get drunk. The locals are friendly and more than happy to whoop your ass at shuffleboard.
I do agree with the others that say it does get wild. The longer you stay, the drunker the patrons, and you're likely to see some fists thrown. Stay out of it, keep a smile on your face and enjoy the show and you'll enjoy Tobys.
SHOT TIME!
No ambient music and it is lit up like an office. When the employees get the jukebox going, they play nothing but Nickelback, Staind, and Puddle of Mudd, i.e., horrible taste in music. I think there is some validity to why everyone prefaces Toby's with "this place used to be pretty awesome." And the bartenders are pricks.
Review Source:My job allows me to go to such grand locales as Wichita Falls and Tennesse Colony, Texas, and I don't mind going to these places because it always gives me an opportunity to try out the local watering hole or diner. So, with that mission in mind, my trusty colleague and I ventured into Toby's the other night, and I wish I had that hour of my life back. Â The only thing good I can say about this place is that the drinks were relatively cheap. Â
On the other hand, the bartender was an absolute dick. His name is Brock and it became quite evident after being there for only 15 minutes that he thinks he shits sunshine. Â He was more concerned about winning a game of Golden Tee than he was about running his bar. Â When I went to the bathroom and discovered that it was totally out of toilet paper, and brought this to his attention, he acted as if I just asked him to cut off his right arm, and then proceeded to send one of his minions for said toilet paper. To make matters worse the jukebox was chockful of Staind and Nickelback. Â
As a child, my back was clothed with the tips from my bartender/bar manager mother, thus I grew up knowing that the hallmark of any good bar is set by the person working behind it. Â That said, Toby's blows.
Unless things have changed in the past 3 years, this is probably the closest student-type bar near the MSU campus. This is the bar I most frequented while I was in college.
The cool part about this bar was that the professors were probably drinking here with you and they'd usually pick up most of the tab, which really wasn't a big deal when pitchers were $3. The staff, for the most part, is pretty cool and the regulars are very regular. Since one can still smoke all over Wichita Falls, this place has an outdoor patio which allows you to breathe a little bit, but you have to walk back through the bar to leave. And about every day of the week they usually have a live band or a singer-songwriter playing.
The bad part of this bar and what skews all of Wichita Falls is the airmen. They throw off the ratio of men to women, 10:1. The place turns into a real sausage-fest sometimes and I've seen more brawls in this place than any other bar I've ever been in.
I only had one truly awful experience here. It was on my 22nd birthday and I was sitting with my friends drinking some pitchers. We had emptied our pitcher and was trying to get the waitresses attention for like 30 minutes. When we finally got her attention she brought out our pitcher. At 11:00 the price went from $3 a pitcher to $9 a pitcher. It was like 11:02. Instead of paying for the beer, my friend turned all of our glasses over and we left. As we were leaving the doorman said we were being kicked out.
