Backyard

Troy the GOAT. Takes care of business and super friendly. Makes everyone feel like a friend and sets the tone for the turn up

My sister and I were looking for a good happy hour and came across a sponsored ad for Backyard's Thursday and Friday happy hour on Instagram. Since the business was actively running the ad, we assumed the promotion was valid and decided to check it out today (2/7/25).When we arrived, there were about 15 staff members standing around and only a handful of patrons. We took a seat at the bar and were given the regular menu. When I asked about the happy hour menu, the bartender simply said, "We don't do happy hour," and walked away. Confused, my sister pulled up the exact ad that was still running on Instagram. The staff then informed us that the promotion had been offered by a former GM who left last week, and rather than honoring the ad or even apologizing for the confusion, they dismissed our concern entirely.It's disappointing when a business pays for advertising but fails to update or manage their promotions properly. If an offer is no longer valid, it should be removed from social media rather than misleading potential customers. Unfortunately, due to this experience, we chose to take our business elsewhere.I hope Backyard takes this as an opportunity to improve communication and ensure their marketing aligns with what they actually offer.

I had the most NEGATIVE experience at the Backyard! As a single mom of alumnis, I flew into town to celebrate the Red River Rivalry and decided to come to Dallas and spend my hard earned money this weekend!Our family decided NOT to go to the game and instead come to the Backyard. After 30 minutes of being in the establishment, security and management thought that when I leaned on a post, closed my eyes and sat quietly at our paid table that I was TOO INTOXICATED to stay and was kicked out by 12:30 PM. I AM A 55 YEAR OLD CANCER SURVIVOR, on medications that not only pushes my body to have menopausal symptoms, it causes me to have fatigue! I was not drunk, I was quiet, sitting at a paid table watching tv and to say that I was upset, having to leave my family and the entire celebration was an understatement! I flew in from out of town specifically to celebrate with my family whom I do not get to see all year long! On Saturday, management decided to make me leave without trying to understand my situation. In order to not embarrass my family, I left without making a fuss.What a TERRIBLE place, what HORRIBLE management. Red River Rivalry is a big deal! People shouldn't be working if they can't handle humans. If they can't have grace or just treat customers with respect. I saw many young drunk & loud customers and yet they were allowed to stay...I hope that the security and management team members one day get to experience someone they love with cancer and I hope that they remember how their actions affected someone already going through hell...There could have been other solutions, but unfortunately, management here is taught not to give a shit about their customers, especially older customers who are quiet cancer survivors on medication! DO NOT COME HERE if you want to be treated with grace and respect! THEY ARE NOT KIND, THEY ARE NOT COMPASSIONATE! They really do belong in the backyard! So spend your money somewhere else where they actually give a fuck about you! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

So I came to this place one day when I was denied entry into Kanvas because of a dress code. When I arrived to this place the doorman told me the same thing about the dress code but still allowed me in as it was during the day. The food was not really good at all. The service was amazing. I wouldn't recommend this place a lot. Nothing exciting

Went for a corporate happy hour. Great vibes, fun activities to play with friends (cup pong, ping pong, cornhole), and a little arcade area. Love how bright it is - although it does get pretty hot inside. Bartenders are great!

This is an awesome spot to play yard games in the air conditioning and has solid drink options. They have a pay lot next door for parking. Indoors there's corn hole, large format connect 4, air hockey, basketball shooting, pool, etc. Nice bartenders.

We had a ball here people watching as well as dog watching. Just be careful when you order a beer and they ask you if you want to make it a "Large". We both said "yes" and was then served the largest beers of my life. If it had had a spout I would have thought it was a pitcher and we spent the rest of our time drinking beer using both hands. :-)

Great venue for watching the game. There are screenns everywhere. Cool atmosphere. roy at the door is awesome! Great service!

Tons of fun and great food, I'm definitely going back when I visit Texas again. The customer service was awesome as well!!!

Overall the place was cool BUT I got to the door , I asked the man if there was a fee if I don't have my ID? Most places . No ID No Entry . So the man who I guess checks Id's he proceeds to say $20. So it was 2 other people behind me . After I payed that 20? He didn't even care if the rest of the party had identificaction. I called the next day and asked is there a fee if I have no ID . They said no . I don't care if the fee was $5 .. Don't charge for your own personal gains . Run me my 20Back thanks
