    This bar was so strange inside, but I loved it. Staff was great and attentive. I enjoyed chatting and looking at all the things around me

    Even on a SUN night they know how to mix a Cosmo like no other! Great music and vibe.

    One of the best hang out bars in downtown Huntington. Good beer selection, great staff and a neat outside patio. Can't go wrong here.

    Fun, small bar. A little odd on the decor and some of the regulars are a little peculiar, but it is pretty fun.

    Dirk is a prince among men and I hope his bar is as successful as possible. One of the better bars in Huntington

    Everything is great about this place-so may tasty bites (and we tried them all), inventive…read morecocktails, cigar bar (visit the helpful staff on ground level before coming upstairs to the lounge) and splendid ambience! Flatbread "pizza", pretzels and beer cheese, charcuterie or cheese boards, potato chip "nachos", and for dessert cinnamon sugar pretzels with cream cheese frosting or S'mores pretzel with marshmallow dip! Freshly baked cookies too! Staff is so attentive and friendly. Weekend evenings get busy so plan ahead. A terrific place to hang out with friends or after a Marshall University event. You will not be disappointed!

    I stopped by with a friend after attending an alumni event at Marshall. Lafontaine's Rooftop Lounge…read morewas suggested as the after-party spot. We entered through the alley (there's a sign by the fence directing you where to go). We waited in line as the lounge could only be reached by an elevator. The employee was counting those getting off the elevator to ensure capacity was not reached. We waited roughly 15-20 minutes to enter. We arrived at the top floor, stepped off the elevator, and were immediately impressed. This was unlike any spot I've seen in Huntington. It had an upscale vibe (loved the decor), but drinks were reasonable. A Corona was $4, and a specialty cocktail was $10. And we hit the jackpot as we found two seats on the patio along the outside (with a great view). My only complaint was the wait time to order a drink at the bar. We waited roughly 15-20 minutes and were standing at the bar the entire time. It may be a good idea to hire an additional bartender on the weekend. It's a great place for a date or hanging with friends. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the food menu next time!

    We came here on a Saturday night for dinner. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our party of four…read moreto be seated. It was a little busy. Even once we were seated the server was telling us that the kitchen was a bit backed up so that is why our food was taking a little longer. Our waitress was nice and friendly. She gave us honest opinions about the items on the menu, which is always great to have. We ordered the Meggie's Bread Sticks with Cheese as our appetizer. It was delicious, especially with the added cheese. It came with some red sauce stuff to dip the bread sticks in. The pizza we got was the 14 inch Gladiator. It had 6 slices. It was good, but a bit messy (and hot when it first came out). At the end we ordered the Backyard Hay Stack (minus the nuts). That was really good as well and we devoured it. The ambience was good. It was a little loud, however it was crowded. There was a little astronaut theme going on here. I recommend coming to Backyard Pizza.

We met a former WWE wrestler who was sitting at a table, too. But back to the restaurant - the flavor is there. My one issue the bottom of the pizza dough was very flimsy on both pizzas we ordered (Kale braised and the gladiator) so the cheese and toppings slid right off when taking the first bite. Like I said the flavor is there though. Had the peddler red IPA and it was terrific. Also had a very tasty kale salad. If they get a nice soft but firm bottom to the pizza slices, this place would be a 5/5. Would we return, yes!
