We're here for Kamm's Cat fundraiser and we ordered a burger and tots and a BYO pizza. The pizza is one topping for $8! Buffalo sauce, fried tender, and I'm almost certain homemade dough. We also had a Moscow mule and margarita. read more

Came to the bar on Sunday July 5 to have a drink with my husband, after finding out that my lifelong friend passed away. The cook came out to the outside bar after his shift, in a sleeveless shirt and sandals. then proceeded to start an argument with another bar guest and was circling the parking lot and threatening to kill people. I will no longer be coming to this establishment until this man is fired! Who does that and how are we supposed to feel safe? read more

Backstage has really good bar food, and a decent size menu that includes burgers, wraps, wings, pasta, salads, even steak! All at decent prices. Our server Lauren was great! Would eat here again for sure. read more

Friends keep telling me how good the food is here but in the 3 times I have yet to experience a good meal. Typical Sysco bar food. Service is also kinda slow unless you're a regular, it seems. They do have a really nice bourbon selection though. Extra star for that. read more

First time here to see a drummer we know on Weds. the service for the bar area was impeccable especially for a bar! We will be back

Came here Wednesday afternoon to enjoy being outside. They do have an outdoor patio that's shaded so you don't see much sun but some people may not want that so fyi! Really enjoyed the pretzel! Great taste and texture. Quesadilla wasn't bad and I really enjoyed the peppers in them! Spinach and artichoke probably was the least favorite. It was good cheesy but flavor was a little bland. Chips had a great seasoning dust to it but it wasn't very crispy. Good vibe outside with outdoor seating and outdoor bar and tv seating. Good for a very casual time. read more

I had the short ribs and stuffed peppers. Both were great. The wait staff were very friendly.

Backstage is my kind of bar with my kind of people. Don't get me wrong, Westpark Station and PJ McIntyre are good (the latter being my designated place of enjoyment for a drink and bartender conversation) but if it's food I am in the mood for and an eclectic mix of crowd it's BSB for me. The pre-midnight menu is good and even the late night food too. They sport delicious appetizers and hearty burgers. My favorite App is by and far is the Buffalo Chicken dip and pita. The dip is spicy and rich and I could eat three of them before my body told me I should have stopped at 1/2. The Black and Blue burger is my choice lunch and dinner. It's simple, fast, not too pricy, and just a good mix of people of all ages. read more

We stopped here after landing at the cleveland airport because we were literally starving. When we entered we were greeted as soon as we sat at the bar. There was a super sweet woman working the bar but I can't remember her name! Food was great I got the cajun chicken pasta (I believe that's what it was called) and my fiance got a burger with mozzarella as an appetizer. Everything came out quick and served hot, even the local's were super sweet to us! They played great music which lightened the atmosphere as it is a pub style bar. Overall great experience and I will definitely be back the next time we fly into Cleveland. read more

Never eaten here. Only drank. Outdoor area is decent in warm weather. It's a bar but my last experience wasn't good. NYE and after midnight. There was literally 4 people in the place....small group of us came in and stood and waited at the bar for a drink....and waited.....and waited....and waited. Girl behind the bar walked by several times to even pick up money someone left. Made eye contact. Kept walking. My buddy is a restaurant GM & was livid by the lack of service. About 12-15 minutes later.....we walked out of the empty bar and went next door. I'll be back but hopefully this is just a one off. Think local....drink local read more

Smoking and vaping inside, no one seem to care. My first and last visit. If you are a non-smoker, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Ask for Lauren at the bar! New menu is good. Good friendly atmosphere. Monday have Queen of 's read more

Been here half a dozen times. I like the rock decor...guitars hanging in walls, bands and dj's on weekends, Touchtunes jukebox, not too brightly lit. Outside bar in back is always popping. The food is good. The mussels are outstanding. Calamari and tots good. I tried the turkey reuben recently. I didn't care for how dry the inside of the sandwich was and how greasy the outside (bread) was. Service has always been good. Fair prices. Now the bad. Parking can be impossible if you come late on the weekend. You pretty much have to park in the back parking lot which is small and is for several other establishments. Also, they have left the front and back doors open on more than one occasion and it was COLD and letting cigarette smoke in. I choose to sit inside to stay warm and not breathe cigarette smoke. I didn't ask anyone to close the doors but I was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriend and I left early. read more

My husband and I visit Back Stage Bar often. It's our favorite watering hole in the Kamms Corner area. The bar has ample indoor and outdoor seating, great staff, and yummy food. We usually visit the bar during tribe games due to the $5 tall boy drinks special. But, the bar has other drink and food specials. My go to food order is the veggie alfredo pasta. The pasta is always so creamy, full of veggies, and cooked to perfection. The crowd is always friendly and ready to have a great time. And the staff are always friendly. Love Back Stage Bar and looking forward to my next visit. read more

Drab, boring, not enough tv's. I don't know, it's so wierd. I don't know how people are in here even on a Friday night. At least I can hear the live band from smedley's. The music in here is garbage albeit country and i like country. I'm on a bar crawl and honestly this is the only place I'd never come back. read more

This place has awesome tacos, but if you're not a friend of the staff good luck getting served. 15 to 20 people at the bar, two bartenders on duty (or apparently on duty because they were both serving beers and shots to their friends), but if you entered and sat at a table, they were just too lazy to either greet you with a hello or even see if you wanted anything. It's not the first time this happened. Sat and waited for about 15 to 20 minutes and then finally had enough. If you know the staff, service is quick and friendly. If you don't, it's not very welcoming. Then I guess it was my own fault for going there in the first place. I'll never be back. read more

This bar is amazing have been here several times. When they are busy they do good job trying keep your drinks fresh. When they are slow they are good for conversation. I have ate several items on menu and they have been amazing read more

I have yet to have a bad experience here! The food is very solid and a large portion will have your tummy full! Pretty quick service and the prices are fair. The ribs are so. damn. good!!!! The lunch specials change daily and I've been happy with everything. read more

First time here. My cocktail wasn't great, more of a shot and a beer place but that's ok. They have a nice looking stage and some cool music oriented stuff on the wall. They had an impressive crowd for a Monday mid afternoon so they are doing something right. read more

Will never order from here again (ordered delivery on Uber eats). Ordered the Cleveland flat bread and it tasted like freezer burn. What a waste of $10 I might have well gotten a pizza from the frozen section at the grocery store read more

Everything I have ordered at back stage has been awesome! The pizzas are perfectly cooked and they have nice crisp crust. The loaded tots are a HUGE portion and covered in toppings. The biggest surprise, however, were the CHORIZO TACOD from the Wednesday taco night. Being from Southern California, I have seen Cleveland struggle to serve up legitimate chorizo, but these were hands down the tastiest chorizo tacos I have had in Cleveland. Only 2.25 a piece and they easily had twice as much meat as Barrio's, for less $$. Not to mention cheap beer as well. More people need to know about the chorizo tacos here on Wednesday's! read more

Its our Friday night bar, hiiii Seriously, every friday. Neighborhood bar with plenty of seating, all high top. Patio for smoking all night. Great music always. Meal menu is average bar food but compared to places next door, since the corner panini place closed, backstage is probably your best bet for a meal. Crowd is late 20s-30s, if you want to come and drink and dance just a lil with yourself you'll fit right in. read more

Great food, great prices, great staff = the trifecta! BOGO lunches all week long, and Tablupa for most sporting events (half off your entire tab if they win the game). Huge patio and a great place to watch the Brownies. Try the flat bread pizzas or the $12 filet... Yummy! read more

I used to only frequent Back Stage for drinks late on weekend nights, but had always heard I should try their food. One Sunday afternoon when drinking was not in the cards for us my friends and I decided we should give it a try. I was so impressed that I did not believe I was eating at the same place I have seen many a people run to the restroom, fall asleep etc. I ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and I couldn't believe the abundance of flavor there was in the breading. They were large as well and it was plenty to split between two. For dinner I ordered a flatbread, and my two other friends ordered a build your own sandwich and the buffalo chicken wrap. I tried a bite of both of theirs and wish I would of had their meal. While my flat bread was good it did not compare to their meals. I did not feel like any part of the meal was frozen, it was all well seasoned and when you go during the day it really cleans up nice. I would definitely go back as there was a burger on the menu that was calling my name! Next time your in Kamm's Korner don't let the dark bar steer you away! read more

I called to place an order and I was put on hold both times for over 20 minutes. could not get the food I wanted to order.

Went over to Back Stage tonight for some food. We had some pasta, which proved to be worth the modest price. The wife says that the meatballs were okay but a little lacking. I had the Sicilian Chicken Tortellini. It was fantastic. I really like it that they have mix and match options for their pasta dishes. Good beer selection and good music. Really low key kinda place....Nice place to check out if the other bars in the area are really not your scene. read more

Thursday day bartender is amazing. She's so polite and attentive!!! Foods great and my glass is always full!!! I think her name is Shane or something read more

This place had GREAT food for really reasonable prices! I got a shrimp quesadilla for $9 and my friend got a tuna steak for $10! Service was great even though it was super busy because there was a bar crawl. There's also a nice patio and bar in the back that was enclosed for the winter (though it was pretty smokey) but I'm excited to check it out when the weather is nice! read more

I love backstage, it's our local neighborhood bar in westpark on kamms corner. Super cheap drinks- they have a lot of meal specials throughout the week too. They have recently started doing weeknight trivia! read more

Its a Great place to hang out on the weekends. Friendly staff, great food, fun atmosphere, variety of events /specials and a warm patio for the winter time. Always nice to see familiar, friendly faces. read more

Worst Sunday afternoon Football experience! Had to go find waitress multiple times! Get your act together!

Great place! Food is delicious! Try the lemon garlic chicken or the filet. Both are great! Also love the buffalo chicken dip! Friendly staff! Check it out! read more

Love the atmosphere in here and the food is really great, not your "typical" bar food. Their selection of liquor is good and the value you get for your money can't be beat. Definitely recommend the flat bread pizzas and my hubby swears the steak is amazing.. read more

When it comes to a deal you cannot top this place.. They offer so many drink deals I often wonder how they stay in business.. The tabalupa deal they offer for most local sporting events cannot be topped... Half of your tab for certain sporting events if the event goes in your favor. The only down fall for me is the inside layout it does get a little crowded in the bar area. When the patio is open the it one of the nicer ones in the area.. read more

Best bar at kamms. The food is amazing and the staff is awesome. Outdoor patio is nice, and great booze selection.

A good place to have a few beers and some food. Wednesday is taco night. While they might be your average taco, they are very tasty. Not overwhelmed with too much spices or powdered mix. I ordered french fries with no salt and YES they actually came the way I ordered. (not my experience at other bars) Friends had burgers and salads and said they were really good. I have had their wings in past visits and they too are very tasty. The music is also good and they have a wonderful patio. The down side is almost no tap beer - only two taps of the weird and bad stuff. They could also use a beer special of some kind and not just rely on happy hour. Service was sufficient. It is a little dank and dark in there. But don't let that scare you off. It is one of the better and less expensive joints on Kamm's corner. read more

Great atmosphere feeling. Not overly crowded. Nice flow in the layout so people aren't pushing you out of the way. Great drinks. Friendly Clientele and Staff. Enjoy my time here better the West Park Station. Def start here next time I am on this strip when returning for business in Cleveland. read more

Just had another great dinner here. An 8 oz. rib eye, with green beans, and German Potato salad. One of the best dinners we've had at any "corner"establishment. Back Stage consistently serves up delicious food, at a reasonable price, that keeps us going back. As a friend once commented after trying the lemon crusted chicken: " " it was so good I wanted to lick my plate". With al the bar / restaurants in West Park, this one stands above the others in the Variety and quality of food served. From "bar food" , to the above the norm, unexpected , super dinners you would expect at a higher end establishment. Hope u give it a try..... WELL worth it. And also want to say what a great job the staff does too : soo friendly and laid back. All making a great atmosphere. read more

I don't know why this place doesn't serve more food! The food is way better than any bar food I've had in the Kamms area! Their lemon chicken pasta never fails to impress. And $12 for a filet? WOW! The drinks are fairly priced. Good crowd. Could use a bit of lightness to the decor (very, very dark and depressing). Friendly servers, never had an attitude! read more

The food is good most of the time but the service is garbage when the bar is nearly empty. You'd expect to be in and out quickly when the bar is empty However I finished my food more than 20 minutes ago; I haven't gotten a check nor has the bartender asked me if I needed anything. read more
