Fourth time here. I have to say-- it's perfect! In a town lacking third spaces, the Backyard Social Club is a great place to hang out with friends and meet new ones! There's a wide selection of craft beers and a few seltzers. There's bartenders are great at their jobs and the kitchen staff rocks it too. I love that you can either be in the action with live music inside, or go outside to relax by the campfire. If you're over 21, take your friends here the next time you go out. My only wish is it were open later! read more

The ambiance is amazing and it was a great place to hang out with friends. There are different areas to hang out in to match the vibe you're going for. The live music was great! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out since we live very close but it looked quiet from out front. It didn't seem like there were many customers there. Boy was I wrong and seriously been missing out. Loved everything about this place. After pulling in and driving to the back parking lot, I realized majority of the parking was in the back. Our first time going was the day of the Clovis Taps and Brews Trail. The parking lot was full but surprisingly the place was very roomy. I get a little anxious in very crowded bars but the layout was awesome. So many areas to hang out and change up the ambiance. There was a backyard that made us feel like we were hanging out at someone's beautiful backyard with a fountain, pond, fire pit and a beautiful tree. There was grass space with picnic tables and cornhole games. There is a back bar outside that operates during peak hours I believe. Connected to the outside bar was a small arcade with a couple dart boards. There is a separate place away from the bar for food. Love the concept of having a separate little restaurant. Smelled like pizza when we walked into check it out. I can't leave a review on the food since we did not eat any, but it did smell really good. You can take your food and enjoy it anywhere aside from the food area. As you enter the bar, we realized there were still plenty of areas to hang out. There were some tables and booths close to the bar. I believe they aren't serving liquor, just beer. But that's fine. There were many selections and some from local breweries. I got a South Gate Pumkineer from Oakhurst. Very tasty! As we walked on, the band was playing so we walked upstairs and seen even more seating and a shuffleboard table. You can even watch the band from upstairs. There was also a coffee table spot with different board games you could take out and play. The different cup holders here and there were a nice added touch. I noticed the staff really being on top of keeping everything clean and picking up the glasses often. Tables were constantly being cleaned. Everything was very tidy. We sat outside listening to the water fountain and the music and got a sense of relaxation and peace. The building does not resemble a business but more of a beautiful home feel from out back. We are so happy to have found this place. It'll definitely be a favorite of ours now. As we were leaving, we seen an area where people were playing table tennis. Now I'm wondering if there was something else we may have missed. Very fun and different concept for a bar. Absolutely loved the layout and different options for hangout spots. We're looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

Seen this open over the summer and been meaning to go and finally did! Such a cute spot! Love the string rope lights across the entire back patio (which is huge!). Very spacious and roomy with a bunch of different activities. Ping pong, corn hole, fire pit, picnic tables, and more! The food was good! The combo pizza was so good, had a cheese pull too! Inside the bar they had a live band and 2 levels. Shuffle board, board games and more! Was pretty loud inside but it was still fun. Only down side was there's only beer and seltzers :( I'm a liquor person but the Zombie Killer seltzer was pretty good! The bartender was soo nice! She helped me pick out drinks and gave me a few to test from. Must check it out! Good times! read more

Enjoyed our first visit here during opening weekend. Their Instagram is updated often with live music and it looks like they are keeping busy. I would like to go back and enjoy the backyard area with the cool autumn weather on the way. It is a huge space with lots of seating options and a ping pong table ! And other games. The indoor area is interesting and has many unique and eye catching decor and photo opportunities. Friendly service on a busy Saturday afternoon. I really enjoyed the turkey sandwich I ordered , planed on eating half and saving half -nope! It was too delicious! Lots of fun pub style foods I want to try on their menu. Nachos !! Fun place , love the concept , hope they continue filling up the backyard ! Cheers! read more

i use to be the bouncer @ this establishment some 50 years ago and, the place was owned by a real wonderful man named JIM Still has that giant Oak out back!1 Gotta go back soon for some memories A BEER & food ART read more

This place has good food, but the real draw is the ambience. Low key, friendly, and very Portlandia. I just love it.

Great food, awesome selection of beers on tap and always some form of music everyday. And, now they have a coffee shop so you can be there all day! lol read more

I just picked up the art work I did last week. They have live Music 7 days a week and Fantastic Pub food and Great company. If you have not been here yet you need to checkout. Friendly atmosphere and art with Ali is always an Amazing time. read more

Went for trivia . Very cute outside space. It definitely gives you backyard vibes. Love the pond. My first time there and parking was kinda hard to find without circling around. Should have signs. Also parking is really small. Should be sign telling people it's ok to park in hotel for extra parking. Didn't try food. But it looked good read more

Place is the best hands down best service and ambience around Clovis hidden gem of sorts with there selection of craft brews they don't miss read more

What makes this place cool is how weird and awkward the building is. It looks like a converted home with the walls knocked out. The bar is in what looks like it was a dining room. The kitchen is still the kitchen, and the living room is where the stage is. Bar service was very quick and friendly. The beers on tap are local. More beer options are available in can or bottle form. It pretty much a bar business that is in somebody's house. There is a backyard, and people can socialize there when the band is too loud inside. It's cool and we will be there again. read more

Worse than a frat house after a night of parties! Dirty, rude , nasty staff and owner especially! Worse conditions than I've ever seen at bar The "backyard " is so gross I feel like I need a tetanus shot read more

It's definitely one of my favorite spots here in town. Great beers and customer service is A++++. Very nice people. You can't got wrong with anything on the menu. Kudos to Nick who made my burger.. read more

Great place to eat drink and relax it's hot sometimes but that's what it's like to live in California only complaint is sometimes if it's loud it's hard to get the bartender's attention but I don't mind the wait read more

Such an awesome vibe to hang out, relax and have a cold beer. They have limited menu items including things like pulled pork, nachos, hot dogs, pizzas, salads and sandwiches. But the main draw is just the relaxed comfortable environment with spacious indoor seating and outdoor seating for tons of microbrews read more

Went during a rainy night, parking is towards the back and the entrance is by the backyard. The backyard is gorgeously arranged. It's two stories, not sure if there's a bar as well on the second floor. They always have live music going on, they got a couple of tables on the first floor if you choose to not sit by the bar. Amazing customer service from our lovely lady bartender. Their drinks range from IPA(some from crown wolf) ciders and meads. They also have beer on tap. They got the menu on a big screen as well as on a booklet. I did not get to try their food. Definitely a place to chill with friends any day read more

Went last night for my high school reunion. Loved the backyard setting. Back in the 80's this place was a popular under 18 hangout called Zacks. It has been many things over the years, from a florist/gift shop to a photography studio. The bartenders and staff are super friendly. My only complaint is that they don't offer wine. Im not a beer drinker but had a great lemonade cider. read more

My husband and I had our wedding reception here and the staff, food, ambiance... literally everything... was perfect. It definitely wasn't a traditional reception, and it may not work for everyone, but the space/vibes worked perfectly for our event. I couldn't recommend hosting a party here enough. The managers were so easy to work with and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our guests had an amazing time. This place is a gem and I can't wait to come back for a future trivia night! read more

First timer. Will definitely be back. Christy is the best. Food was excellent. The Backyard is a must do when in Clovis.

We went on Sunday around noon. Very nice outside area, very nice bar service. From our experience, 4/5 recommended. Thanks for the nice shade and cold drink. Minus 1 start because the beer and the glasses were not as cold as they could have been. Don't get me wrong, it was cool, but it could have been colder. read more

We love this place. Our new fav. The owners are really nice. There is a fun and friendly atmosphere. We have been upstairs where there are tables and lots of board games, etc available and even shuffleboard. The garden seating is ample with a pond and a beautiful big tree. There is even a big citronella candle and insect spray on each table. We enjoyed the music played inside on a small stage. The beer was really good with the #11 being my favorite, a hazy IPA. Price is good. Same price for a 16 oz that our last favorite place charged for a 12oz beer. And they honor vets with a discount. Yay. We've only had one food item, a pulled pork pizza shaped like a flat bread which we enjoyed. The only negative is that it can get busy where you order at the bar but hey, there are friendly people to talk to while you wait. Not enough of a negative to give them a ding. All in all, a great place! read more

Great music and craft beer selection! The backyard area is perfect for a night sunny day! Service is always on point! Highly recommend this place for an afternoon or afternoon work hang out! read more

Eclectic place which serves beer and Seltzers. Great music and set up for any kind of games you want. There were board games, a shuffleboard table, a ping pong table, etc. There was lots of space indoors and out. Great place to hang out with friends! They have food too (Sandwiches) but I didn't try it so I can't give a rating for that. read more

Love love the BYSC .... The pizza is amazing, the beer is great and the service is even better! Such a nostalgic vibe and the music is so so good!! Check it out if you have not been, you won't be disappointed read more

This is such a sick place! They have everything here to hangout with friends! So many fun games and activities! Honestly I'm kinda upset that it took me so long to discover this place but I'm going to be here all the time now! Absolutely love the vibes and the atmosphere! You have to try this place out! read more

This place is so much fun. Great service and great beer selection. A fun place to hang out with friends.

Worse stage design I have ever seen, it is set up in a corner where musicians cannot be seen unless you stand at the noisy crowded bar. Yes they have a beautiful backyard area that's beautiful, but for "music" it just wasn't designed for it don't waste your time. read more

Great atmosphere. Went on a Saturday and both inside and outside were lively. Would rate it a 5 if they served wine.

Great atmosphere! Bartenders (Beer-Istas) are very friendly and make great recommendations! Have gone there several times and have not been disappointed. read more

Vibes here were amazing on the weekend! The service here is great as well, very friendly and it was nice chatting with the staff. I was recommended to try the Bines of Death IPA, and it didn't disappoint at all. It was clean, smooth, piney, and slightly citrusy to be honest. Great choice for hanging out with friends. read more

Enjoy and play some board and other games instead of drama social medias on your smartphone. Relax and Chill out!!

great club and fun music. Fun atmosphere and nice servers. They upgraded the menu and its good

We recently had a wedding celebration at the Backyard Social Club on a Monday. We kind of took over the loft and part of the first floor. The staff were all terrific, quick, cheerful, polite, fun and accommodating. They slipped in and out of the milling guests and met our needs, most of the time before we had to ask for refills, etc. The fries were addictingly delicious and our pizza assortment hit the right notes for a crowd with the crisp cold salad. A special shout out to Michelle and Amanda, but the other gents and gals were great as well, just did not get their names. The public guests were tolerant of our large group and cheered on the festivities. Our hired small group band was just right and the gentleman that followed on the keyboard was a great mellow follow up. Turkey & Gravy, the patio cats, added a cool unobtrusive vibe to the outdoor area. We would return for another event, a music night or just a great place to have a cold one at the bar. The space has a vibrant retro 70's vibe without too much funk in the funky, approachable. We were very happy with this venue choice!! (The only thing missing was an elevator to the loft.) read more
