Service was impeccable, Ariana was an amazing server
Music unfortunately reminded me of 2005, it’s 2026 new music would have been great

It was my first time coming here for new year’s eve so I expected it to be pretty pricey but as for a $60 entry fee, I noticed I was charged $65… so I’m assuming the bouncer decided to tip himself on my card so just be cautious of how much you spend. It was fun, packed and I would go back. Just wasn’t too happy about the extra $5 I didn’t choose to tip.

Male worker walked into women’s bathroom seemingly to escort 2 girls to skip the line and walk into a stall. I asked why a man was in the women’s bathroom and no workers said or did anything. Very uncomfortable, not a safe space for women.

White guy with blonde dreads at the front door was incredibly rude. Will not be back.
It's actually amazing how much of a money grab this place has become. Even if the bar is visibly empty or there's no line you're expected to pay a cover (regardless of ratio). Nobody wants to pay 10 dollars to enter a bar, nor is this one worth it. Don't worry though because the upstairs is also another pay to enter, regardless if it's full or empty. Music is the same playlist every time.

Embarrassed to even write this review because I genuinely want to be wrong. Attempted to patronize this location for a spur of the moment birthday celebration for a group of 6, two of my buds and our wives. I was the first to the door and denied entry due to my shirts being “too casual” which was an odd statement due to the fact that my “too casual” shorts was a popular choice of style to several males patrons, of a particular race. I didn’t argue, stepped out of line, waited until the line cleared, two of which also had on the same style shorts, then asked for clarification due to his logic being so apparently flawed at that point. So according to the bouncer, my style is appropriate before 9pm but after, I would do better in khaki pants. I was stunned at how he was able to say it without laughing, couldn’t look me in the eyes when he said it either. A 35+ y/o black man cannot enter Austin’s Backyard after 9pm without khakis. I hear you loud and clear, Austin’s Backyard.

We visited here the other day for an old Miss watch party - this place is really cool - they have ping-pong all kinds of games, TVs everywhere, and the food was good - the only thing they were missing was Captain Morgan

Please avoid this place. They charged a cover when nothing special was even happening. We were overcharged for drinks and when we kindly asked the bartender why she caught an attitude and slammed our receipt on the table and stormed off. Will not be returning.

Nice outdoor patio/deck. Fun indoor dance floor and bar.

Came with a group of six, all of us clearly not their usual crowd. Asked if we could do $40 instead of $10 each for cover, and the guy goes, “This ain’t a flea market, brother.” Wasn’t being rude, just asked. The tone said more than the words. After reading other reviews, the vibe makes sense now.
Was racially discriminated against. Have even heard from people that work or have worked there that this place only wants a certain demographic in this place. Definitely avoid.

Not a good place at all. They stopped us for wearing open toed shoes stating that since people dance it can hurt. Yet right after us, they let a couple go inside wearing flip flops. For the bar; no matter what drink u ask them to make, they have reason not to make it. Food is basic. Staff is judgemental.
