Food and service were just ok. The cocktails were decent. But the atmosphere in the backstage area made up for the deficiencies. Very fun!

Very friendly staff. Don’t be confused by the exterior, plenty of parking. We had the brisket taco dinner. It was amazing. Don’t be concerned about the bbq on the side, it was great. First time I’ve ever eaten all the rice at a Mexican restaurant. Wife loved the Mexican martini.

5 stars experience! The staff are friendly and helpful and the service is top-notch. I had left an item behind for a few weeks, and the manager kindly kept it safe until I could pick it up, truly above and beyond!
The restaurant is cozy, full of character, and instantly makes you feel at home. The back room with live music adds a relaxed and pleasant vibe. Highly recommend! Thank you !

Backspace is a warm venue and the acts tend to have a local and down home ATX feel. We particularly like the Sunday Brunch.

Sunday morning brunch with music was excellent experience. With donations going to food bank and great music, the fair food and service were only a minor distraction.
