Flavorful, savory, healthful! I loved the avocet creole appetizer, which was rich and decadent. The appetizer came with yucca fries, which were deliciously sweet and crunchy (much tastier than potato fries). For the main entree I got the vegetarian Niebe Thies with tofu, which was amazing!! My fiancé got the Mafe with chicken. The meat was decadently stewed, and basically melted off the bones.
Great space! Came here last Fri and had a blast. The wine flights we ordered were great and the DJ was awesome! It was a little hard to hear my girlfriends when they were talking, but it didn't bother me at all. I loved the music the DJ was playing so I was having a good time. My only complaint would be the tiny pizza we got. I figured it would be small, but I didn't expect it to be that small! I guess just keep that in mind when you're ordering food. For 4 people, you'd probably want at least two pizzas depending on how hungry you are. I'll definitely come here again!
Pretty dank a place!
The Back Bar is not bad for a venue to watch some local bands. What I especially like about this place is the ample seating. There are lounge couches along the perimeter. In addition to the bar seating, there are high chairs/tables by the bar. Back Bar has two stages: a smaller one closer to the main entrance and a larger one in the room next door. During the latest show I went to, I saw that the room next door was re-purposed as a club. Previously I've seen this room used as spillover for people to hangout. There's only one bathroom area, which is shared between the two rooms. The Womens' restroom was considerably clean and well maintained.The latest show I went to at the Back Bar was for SJ's very own 5606. The lineup also included Lido Beach, Above the Noise, and GOLDVIEW. Each band put on a great show, but 5606's set was absolutely epic! The guys were such showstoppers, and fans were stage diving and moshing.While the show itself was awesome, there were a couple of things about the overall experience that could've improved. There was only one bartender for a really long time, so getting drinks took forever. The bar should also invest in better sound equipment. I saw first-hand the frustration some of the band members felt about the subpar sound system and acoustics at the Back Bar. One of the band members had to run back home to bring back a mic. Also if it wasn't for another band that brought some particular equipment, then there would've been no way we could hear the singers articulate their words over the instruments.
Friendly staff, prompt service, accurate order
Extremely rude and abusive security at the door. Very insulting, worst new year party!
Great music and chillspot with friends
Went there on a Friday I think. There was quick, helpful, and friendly service. The place has a nice feel to it.
Great drinks, great music(Live or DJ), Attentive bartenders, good food, affordable cover and because I'm a guy, the women who go there are amazing.
