Bartender was very friendly, Food was good
One of my favorite hang out spots in College Station. The entire staff is incredible including their managers, Cassidy and Kyle. Highly recommend!
Looking for a place with real atmosphere in College Station? The Backyard should be at the top of your list. Nestled in Northgate at 303 University Drive, this spot blends backyard chill with bar buzz—boasting the largest patio and biggest screen in the district, plus two outdoor bars, shaded picnic seating, string lights, and yard games that invite friendly competition.

The Backyard, formerly known as Fitzwilly's, has transformed into a lively outdoor venue with a giant backyard and games. While the original food was not great, the food trucks on-site, particularly the taco truck, have received positive reviews. The drink specials, including the well bucket for $7, are a highlight, with one reviewer describing their bourbon and diet as "yummy and a steal." The staff has also been praised as memorable. Despite some past issues with ID verification, the reviewers had an enjoyable time during their recent visits, with the great outdoor space, beer, and sports viewing being the main draws.
