    Happy hour menu
    Gerald T.

    My sister and I were looking for a good happy hour and came across a sponsored ad for Backyard's Thursday and Friday happy hour on Instagram. Since the business was actively running the ad, we assumed the promotion was valid and decided to check it out today (2/7/25). When we arrived, there were about 15 staff members standing around and only a handful of patrons. We took a seat at the bar and were given the regular menu. When I asked about the happy hour menu, the bartender simply said, "We don't do happy hour," and walked away. Confused, my sister pulled up the exact ad that was still running on Instagram. The staff then informed us that the promotion had been offered by a former GM who left last week, and rather than honoring the ad or even apologizing for the confusion, they dismissed our concern entirely. It's disappointing when a business pays for advertising but fails to update or manage their promotions properly. If an offer is no longer valid, it should be removed from social media rather than misleading potential customers. Unfortunately, due to this experience, we chose to take our business elsewhere. I hope Backyard takes this as an opportunity to improve communication and ensure their marketing aligns with what they actually offer.

    I came here to celebrate my best friend's 40th birthday. My friend made a reservation for a lounge area that seats up to 20 people. When I arrived and gave the name everyone just looked at me as if they had seen a ghost. The girl in the front went to get the manager. Fifteen minutes later the manager Vincent arrives and is giving us all these excuses on the fact that it was college football and they could put some tables together to "accommodate us". Clearly we have balloons and gifts and can't really go anywhere else, so we say fine whatever. Manager gives my bestie a bottle of complimentary celebratory champagne since they gave our reservation to another party. This place does not do split checks, so if you are drunk this is a nightmare. Service sucks! Our waitress although very nice, was absent most of the time and people had to walk to the bar for drinks and getting anything from her was like pulling teeth. I ordered a backyard burger and this burger is the only reason this review gained another star. The burger was delicious! Everyone seemed happy about the taste of their food. The drinks are a bit overpriced, but that is most bars these days. The bathroom had no paper towels. You can't reach anyone when you call. This place is cute and aesthetically pleasing and can easily accommodate large parties. My best friend did end up having a good time. All in all I would love to never come back here again.

    Hard  nasty chewy. Burger was worse. Employees drunk and waitresses looked high.

    Food was nasty . Sever was high or on something. Save your money. Even the employees weren't even eating the food , they ordered pizza. Music was ok .

    So I came to this place one day when I was denied entry into Kanvas because of a dress code. When I arrived to this place the doorman told me the same thing about the dress code but still allowed me in as it was during the day. The food was not really good at all. The service was amazing. I wouldn't recommend this place a lot. Nothing exciting

    Literally the worst drink I have ever had. I got a cranberry vodka and it tasted like the worst drink in the world. I have never had a drink so bad in my life. Love the games tho.

    Fun time.

    We had a ball here people watching as well as dog watching. Just be careful when you order a beer and they ask you if you want to make it a "Large". We both said "yes" and was then served the largest beers of my life. If it had had a spout I would have thought it was a pitcher and we spent the rest of our time drinking beer using both hands. :-)

    Went for a corporate happy hour. Great vibes, fun activities to play with friends (cup pong, ping pong, cornhole), and a little arcade area. Love how bright it is - although it does get pretty hot inside. Bartenders are great!

    Definitely I dope little spot to drop in on. Games, Bar, ALOT of seating, and food. The service is great, no complaints. The food is also very good.. they have really good happy hour deals, deals that you wouldn't wanna miss.. Thursday and Wednesday half off everything, and on Wednesday all games are free !! DOPE!!! I will definitely be back , count on it! And you should stop by as well!

    Ask the Community - Backyard - Dallas

    Can you be 19 and still get in?

    21+ on weekends for sure and they spot fake id's easily and will not let you in

    Do they have mimosa towers?

    Yes

    Can 18 year olds be allowed in?

    I think so; they checked our ID's and gave wristbands to people old enough to drink.

    Is there outdoor heaters during the winter?

    It's not really outside, so the temperature is controlled.

    Is this a good place to watch a cowboy's game?

    Hell yeah!!! Best place in Dallas get their early though for a good place to sit if not head over to bottle blond next door same owner!!

    Is there air conditioning?

    Yes. It's a building. The inside is just stuff that you would do outside. For example. Ping pong table, corn hole, and stuff like that.

    Is this place kid friendly?

    No it's a 21 and over bar

The restaurant was decorated with a lot of greenery. It's like if a person with a green thumb was allowed an endless budget. The back patio is where my party sat for a late lunch. A bit hot but the server kept the drinks flowing and the laughs kept us cool in between them. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap. It was so damn good. Their fries were as well. I demolished this meal. My son sat at another table with his teammates and ordered the pizza. He loved it and ate the whole thing! Crazy but after a couple water polo matches I am not too shocked. Parking here was a pain but they offer valet, at least on Sundays, to help. The lady's working were very helpful in finding our large party seating.

    If you're doing the Katy Trail, Chelsea Corner needs to be your post-walk plan…read more A few of my work friends had been recommending this place for a while, and we finally made it happen on a Sunday brunch run. The location is a bonus, close enough to the trail that we parked once and made a full morning of it. We got there close to opening, and with World Cup later that afternoon the wait was nonexistent. Good timing on our part. The vibe inside is cool and laid back, exactly what you want after a morning outside. Service was friendly from the jump, and the bar clearly knows what they're doing. They make a great Carrajillo, which for me is a non-negotiable bonus. On to the food. I went with the Eggs Benedict and they were top tier, great flavor, well made, and came out fast. My wife got the jalapeño biscuits and gravy, and I'm genuinely glad she did because I was torn between that and what I ordered. I ended up getting bites of both, which was the right outcome for everyone. Both were phenomenal. This one is an easy add to the rotation. The trail, the food, the Carrajillo, it all works together. We're already talking about bringing the work crew back for happy hour.

We did show up maybe 1.5ish hours before the game and the whole place was packed, but I didn't mind sticking around even in the heat because they have a very nicely shaded outdoor patio area. This is a great spot to watch any of the FIFA games-- also came back here for the Norway game yesterday and had just as good of a time like the last. They have TVs everywhere inside (both floors) and a huge TV outside as well. The restrooms are clean. They have a lot so that helps especially when it's there's a lot of people-- hate going to places with ONE bathroom. A bunch of seating too- lots of high tops upstairs/downstairs, bunch of tables outside & they have a lot of extra chairs. Service is great. Everyone always checks in to ask how everything's going and drinks/ food don't take too long to come out. I do LOVE their flatbreads. I've tried several flatbreads and they are all super tasty and not too expensive. I did appreciate that when Mexico scored during that first game, the servers brought out a bunch of shots free for everyone to celebrate! I thought that was a nice touch since other bars I have been to in the area are not as thoughtful or organized enough to host a lot of people during the World Cup! Sweet touch. Will obviously be back!
