They treat artist righteous and respect and how they deserve where most others forget . And can’t wait to go see other acts and spread the love and support!“

“You made our night @Backyard! It was getting late and we had tried several other restaurants that turned us away due to super long waitlists. We should have just started here. The local burger was beyond epic and pork tots the icing on the cake. We appreciate you and making our rough night one of the best of our vacation.“

“We stopped in for dinner during our trip to Stowe. The food was really good. Our waitress forgot our fries and the kitchen had closed, so that was a bummer. She did compensate us though and that was nice. Overall, it’s worth the wait if you can’t get a reservation.“

“This is THE spot and that is a hill I’m willing to die on. I expected a low key hotel bar but what I experienced was so much more. I truly felt transported to full on winter apres ski cozy hangouts with friends/family. This space is plentiful with a variety of comfortable and ample seating along with great decor and ambiance from staff and patrons alike. We were fortunate enough to visit on a night with live music which made the experience all the more unforgettable. While our order was simple, white wine and a s’mores board, it was fantastic. This will for sure be a crowd favorite !“

“Awesome selection of beers, cheese and wine. Really casual and laid-back. Come support a locally owned small business! We visit every time we come to Stowe“

“Fantastic brunch on Sunday, sweet owner Janet kills it, nothing in Stowe does breakfast like this. Good vibes evenings, friendly locals, sweet dog friends and all the beers.“

“Grace & Mike are fabulous people! Great time conversing, talking snowmobiles and Tug Hill.“

“Usually have a great time there. Our first bartender Matt was fantastic. Very personable and made us feel welcome. The second one, Brendan not so much. He definitely did not have the right attitude for the hospitality business. Maybe he was just having a bad day?“

“Great place to hangout! Great vibe....the taco's and menu selections are great. Drinks are on point. Most of all this place is fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and excellent service by Desiree!“

“Amazing. Thanks for the freer service“

“Bartender Kailee and Cute little Amelia the hostess did a marvelous job. Aboustly Marvelous. The food was delicious to the very last bite. Lick the plate clean kind of yumminess. Blue cheese 🧀 burger 🍔 😋 all day all night long. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Shane from Massachusetts“

“Intriguing art abounds in every corner of this bar and the plethora of disco balls encourages one to get their groove on. It’s a terrific venue for bands looking to reach an appreciative crowd of live music lovers. Service was friendly and excellent, willing to mix you a grandpa’s whisky sour with Squirt. Not your typical bar fare here with coq au vin over noodles and gumbo that was a standout.“

“Great staff and atmosphere.“

“This is a beautiful spot by the winooski river, we ate on the outside porch with a view of the river, even saw a mother Robin feeding its young in a nest in the rafters. I had linguine pescatore which was delicious, my partner had scampi e cape sante also delicious but unfortunately both meals were light on the scallops hers had 1, also I have to wonder why some sort of bread wouldn’t be served with these dishes. I did mention to staff after and they offered to compensate which I turned down but was made sure I would be treated next time we’re in the area The staff here are great and service was quick, definitely a place to go“

“Consistently excellent food. Healthy choices, and you can indulge your sweetooth. World-class dining in the gorgeous town of Stowe. The waitstaff are attentive, and savvy, and if you engage withe them, knowledgeable and interesting. Amongst, if not the most excelllent restaurant in Vermont.“
