Good times good food great place to watch the games and hang out DJ games clean and great service

Would give zero stars if I could. Night of Haiti Brazil game. Our server was a blonde with a white headband who came to our table a total of 3 times over a 3 hour period (2 of those times when we asked another server to get her because she was sitting at her bar on her phone) making it impossible to reach the ridiculous $200 minimum. Nachos were disgusting. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Arrived to watch World Cup matches. We had a table and they made us get up and gave it to someone else. We flew from across the country to Dallas, pretty frustrating to essentially get kicked out. Waited 30 minutes at the bar because the bartenders refused to give me my card to tab out. Their sister bar Palomino Ranch is the same story. Trust the reviews. Don't come to either place. Save your money. read more

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 If an offer is no longer valid, it should be removed from social media rather than misleading potential customers.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. read more

Backyard - Dallas - Hard nasty chewy. Burger was worse. Employees drunk and waitresses looked high. - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The atmosphere of this place js cool, but way too pretentious for a sports bar. Went here to watch the game on a Sunday and it's $100 minimum to sit at a high top bar table, thats not even counting the table sections like it's a nightclub? I ordered a michelada, one draft beer and 2 well shots and the bill was $47?! That makes the Ritz Carlton look cheap and hardly compares in atmosphere read more

I came here to celebrate my best friend's 40th birthday. My friend made a reservation for a lounge area that seats up to 20 people. When I arrived and gave the name everyone just looked at me as if they had seen a ghost. The girl in the front went to get the manager. Fifteen minutes later the manager Vincent arrives and is giving us all these excuses on the fact that it was college football and they could put some tables together to "accommodate us". Clearly we have balloons and gifts and can't really go anywhere else, so we say fine whatever. Manager gives my bestie a bottle of complimentary celebratory champagne since they gave our reservation to another party. This place does not do split checks, so if you are drunk this is a nightmare. Service sucks! Our waitress although very nice, was absent most of the time and people had to walk to the bar for drinks and getting anything from her was like pulling teeth. I ordered a backyard burger and this burger is the only reason this review gained another star. The burger was delicious! Everyone seemed happy about the taste of their food. The drinks are a bit overpriced, but that is most bars these days. The bathroom had no paper towels. You can't reach anyone when you call. This place is cute and aesthetically pleasing and can easily accommodate large parties. My best friend did end up having a good time. All in all I would love to never come back here again. read more

Got kicked out at 10:30pm when the place closes at 12am on a Saturday. Manager cussed me out and threaten to fight me in front of security. This place need to close down, or the whole staff need to get fired. If I could rate this place a -10 star, I would. read more

Always a great time! Great service Friendly staff Amazing food options Live music is always a plus! read more

This place is full of itself. I wasn't allowed to enter by the bouncer this time because I was wearing dress shorts. Last time we were there the beer was warm and food was cold. read more

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 read more

I would never ever buy a drink from here again. I got charged $70 for 5 green tea shots when the sign said it was $5 for 1. Later bought 3 happy dads for $45 when the price was at $8 on the menu. I would not recommend this place if you want to watch college football on a Saturday. And pls avoid the Asian bartender if you see her working. She would def overcharge you on purpose. read more

Literally the worst drink I have ever had. I got a cranberry vodka and it tasted like the worst drink in the world. I have never had a drink so bad in my life. Love the games tho. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Went to the Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid watch party and got to meet Rivaldo! Very good food for a bar and a decent variety of drinks. Would definitely visit again! read more

Drinks are expensive and it's an ok, I need drink specials especially if a handful of peoples are in there. I went on a Thursday.

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. :-) read more

Definitely recommend to hang out here. Lots of games and drinks. The food was great. I will definitely be visiting again if I'm in the area.

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

They could do better. We spent over $500 and we had a table that they came around and said $350 if you want to stay at this table. It wasn't a booth or anything special...a table. If you wanna do that, cool. But put up a sign...we tried watching the cowboys game and half way through you decide to say pay or leave? On top of that gratuity added plus venue fees... read more

For a minute I thought this was a joke but it's NOT... so we ordered this appetizer just know you will pay $15 for 6 onion rings and 6 pickles disappointed but other than that everything else was OK not in a hurry to come back...you might want to ask your waitress if it's worth ordering an appetizer. Was there to watch the World Series game read more

Backyard - Dallas - Your appetizer, what a joke, onion, and pickle - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is a pretty fanfuckingtastic place I will say, theres a shit ton of tv's for whatever event you wanna watch & the drinks are tasty as fuck. I came on a Wednesday night & it was not at all crowded & I wanted to watch the yankees game so a SUPER attractive lady in a very stylish hat & dress with a cute lil pit bull following her around went into a high voltage room & turned the game on for me. Damn she was HOTT! They've got ALL the fun backyard drinking games you can think of like corn hole, giant jenga, beer pong, giant connect 4 etc etc. I had the mini corn dog appetizer & a pulled pork sammich for a main course & both were so fucking delectable. The only complaint was its pretty warm in there & they do have a lot of those heavy duty fans blowing harder than a thai hooker but its not the same as AC. But I get why because its a open air venue, theres lots if open walls in there with large openings/cracks so it would probably cost a fucking fortune to pump ac into that place. The shitters in the mens room loom like the kind you would clean with a power washer but because of the type of place I did not take issue with that. Probably a fun place foe dudes cause most of the bartenders are super hot scantily clad lady's with daisy dukes on & they were all very friendly & fun. Im looking forward to my next visit here. read more

I gave this place a 2 star rating for multiple reasons. 1. They advertise this as a dog bar but when we got in there 0 dogs to be seen. We brought our dog and i assumed there was a outside area but the restaurant is made to look like you are outside. We asked to be sit in a booth area so i could keep my dog in a corner area so she didn't wander off or get excited while we ate. The waitress was hesitant but said sure. 2 min later someone else came up to us and said we couldn't sit at the booth because there were for bigger parties. We moved but I was annoyed because it was so loud in there. More like a club atmosphere and we had to sit next to all the people playing corn hole and rowdy crowd. I wanted to leave but We were starving so we ordered the buffalo chicken salad which was pretty basic. The sever didn't even ask if we wanted blue cheese or ranch dressing and brought it with blue cheese which i was not happy about. The decor is cool though. I'll give them that. read more

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 20 Back thanks read more

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!!!

I wouldn't give this spot one star. It's terrible. They have severs that want to take your money and kicking is out at a table we had for over 2 hours and wanted to give a table to some guys that were ordering more drinks. Scam scam scam...upsetting honestly. Terrible service and terrible people here. You can improve everything read more

Terrible drinks and service. The arcade games don't take credit cards and gives you an error. I tried 3 different cards. Also, the last time I was there you had to pay an entrance fee for a donation that was forced. Less than 10 minutes after we entered, they closed down the table where they forced people to donate. How ridiculous! The drinks were filled with cheap liquor and I was unable to consume. read more

Very chill spot in dallas, if you are wanting to hangout publicly with friends or settle those fun disputes then this is your place! Great food and fun games! read more

There hotdog was awesome as well served with a slice of watermelon. read more

I'm not 100% ready for a football game until I have an order of wings and fries in front of me and Backyard is the perfect place to get both. Just place your order at the bar and head to your table for kick off. Before you know it you'll be rooting for your team to make a touch down in between stuffing your face with piping hot fries and saucy wings! Their venue is set up like an backyard, and definitely gets warm in the summer time. They have a ton of picnic style tables and tvs all over the venue, but make sure you get there early to get a good spot. Pro-Tip: Dog friendly bar! read more

Great pavilion-style music venue and bar to eat, drink, and play in! Right behind Bottled Blonde; same side parking lot (don't forget to pay - they tow). Good food centers on burgers and finger food. Well-stocked bar for all your drink needs (Rockstar Energy drinks available). Friendly staff; if you get a table, they will attentively wait on you. Of course; if you stand up and walk around, you will need to order drinks at the bar. Clean restrooms, variety of seating choices, and a fun vibe - WE HAD FUN!! We already like Bottled Blonde, but this is even more fun! We'll be here again! read more

We were sitting at a table and were asked to leave because a Cowboys game was starting and they reserve the tables for games. Our group of 6 was asked to stand so two people could take our table. There was no mention or sign on the table when we sat down an hour before a game was starting. We left but we're charged a venue fee and automatic tip that I was not told about so I accidentally double tipped. Sorry excuse for a business. It is dirty and too loud to be run this way. Never going back. read more

This spot was a great place to go to drink and kick it. We went for happy hour. It wasn't crowded at all. By the time we left the line was around the corner. We didn't try any food but the drinks was great. We had cocktails, Vegas Bombs, Green Teas, and a bunch of other random drinks. Service was great... Happy hour included good drinks with great prices... And this place definitely keep you entertained with the Dj and drinks. read more

Super chill, dog friendly spot. We came here for a few drinks Sunday. Of course Dallas was playing so the place was packed!! It seems to be a spacious spot but wow was it crowded. I loved how many people brought their dogs to hang, while others popped bottles, and played games. They have corn hole, basketball arcade game, jenga and checkers. I'd totally come back. From the only person that wasn't wearing a Dallas jersey on Sunday read more
