Neat bar, beer ok. Rachel P was the bartender. She was nice. We didn't order food. Would probably try again. 2nd floor stairs for those that need to know that.Wheelchair accessibility: The bar is on the 2nd floor with stairs. I did not see an access for wheel chair.

The beer was very good.We planning to eat but the kitchen wasn't going to open for 3 more hours. Not sure if they have new hours or if they were experiencing a staffing issue. The beers were very good.Update we were unaware that the kitchen hours were not until 5 pm.We would love to come back and taste the food. The menu looked awesome.

Looks are deceiving. This place comes off as an ordinary 2nd floor island bar. But …Food was incredible! Smoked prime rib melt sandwich was life changing. Pulled pork sliders were delicious. Try the cinnamon roll desert. The chef is a wizard.

Great find!! Traveling through and we are so thrilled with finding Back River Brewery! It truly has a great vibe. The music and food are amazing!I have to commend the cook, he was doing the work of a 3 person team alone and was cooking on a postage stamp grill!With this business this busy in February, how are they going to manage in the busy summer.I watched a Mgr/ owner complain to the cook about backed up orders. The solution is to provide proper help and a proper kitchen. NOT tie his hands.All in all a great place with super possibilities. PAY that cook well please! Like a 800 a week or more!And hire a waitress!!

The food here was incredible. Had the bruschetta and smoked turkey BLT. Great IPA’s as well. Traveling from Wisconsin for the last month and this was easily one of the best meals we’ve had.

Went in to grab a drink today and the beers are so good. The brewmaster really knows what he is doing. And can I say. The bartender working was a very beautiful man who was very attentive. I couldn’t have asked her a better experience while visiting tybee.

Not only a great selection of home brews, the meals here are great! Last night I had another amazing dinner. If you haven't tried this place for a meal yet, I highly recommend it.
