I performed here a few times and attended a few parties! It’s a fun place! Small but fun

Looted me.They behave like they are the best in town, although the place is pretty mediocre. I once booked for an event and they denied the entry saying that the place is full either they overbooked or at last minute they preferred people who didn't even have tickets over us.Anyways still trying to call them to get my money back. Unresponsive as always.

Worst service ever!!We registered for an event, But these greedy people over booked the event, Hence we never got in. The doorman never let us in and kept forcing us to go home and ask for refund. Now they don't open , most of the days, not even picking up our calls.Once we called and someone replied call in the morning and talk to Peter. After then my call directly goes to voicemail. Looks like they blocked me.

Came here for a party and had a decent time. Pros - it has a cool vibe to it and the staff was super nice and friendly. Cons- people vaping inside, it was a grungy inside and could use a deep clean

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.

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!
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!

I came here for a few bollywood nights and this place is unhygienic and chaotic to say the least. I understand that most venues get a bit untidy on a night like that, but I felt like I was going to catch some sort of infection just walking into the bathroom. Though the music and lighting was good, I also felt like the prices for drinks and entry did not seem fair considering the venue and service. I wouldn't recommend this place as there are better clubs and lounges nearby.
