I really appreciate a great vibe. This place has it. Old school, cozy, friendly and free. Loved everything about it! The bartender catered directly to my indecision in beer choices by giving samples. I was able to fall in love with some tasty new to me beer! Cheers to more fun at the BDT!

A wonderful little hole. I was hoping to find the woman of my dreams and take her in the Backdoor Tavern.

Do better. I used to go to this place several years ago. So I thought to take some friends there yesterday 3/25/23. I was dissatisfied, ignored by the bartender. while she and apparently the manager and his friends had a loud conversation about another employee. It was rude, negative and talking about someone else being incompetent , while ignoring patrons is very annoying.It was not busy at all.

I quit smoking about 8 months ago - stopped in BDT for a change in atmosphere. It was nice to not get hit with a cloud of smoke and not smell like an ashtray when I got home.The place is quaint and Lucinda was great!
