Came here after the Fort Lauderdale spirits fest. Paid cash for a minor discount. Went close to the stage and was pleasantly surprised that it was an old school Saturday event. They also host at Warren in Delray but I prefer this venue as it is bigger, better music and dancing space. read more

Cool spot to hang out. Lots of places to mingle. It is open, but covered. There is roof top seating. Came for the Saturday old school. Had to pay to get in and the drinks weren't cheap. Typical Ft Lauderdale pricing. They had food, but from what I saw others eating, it was pretty basic bar food. read more

Backyard, formerly known as America's Backyard, is a great spot for events. It is attached to the back of Revolution, hence the name Backyard. Both venues are a bit iconic and have been around since I was much younger and have definitely evolved. It is open air with huge umbrellas for coverage, but still tricky if there is rainy weather. I attended a Loco Bingo event, and it was packed! Unfortunately the tables were so tight together, we could barely get into or out of our seats. Thankfully, not all events are like that! There are multiple bars offering a decent selection of libations at prices expected for a venue in that area, but definitely more affordable than some. The staff is friendly, which is definitely a plus. I am definitely willing to return for a future event. read more

What a disorganized mess. We were in line for 2 hours to get a spot by the stage and they move two lines of people around us. This place used to be run much better. Also one security guy gives bracelets to people with identification that are over 21. The next guy gives my 16 year old a bracelet. This place has also lost its shine. Buy some paint. read more

I was sucker punched in my eyes and had a slight cut on my face from it and security was no where to be seen when it happened and they didn't look for the guy on security cameras didn't ask anyone if they saw him just asked if I was ok and then continued with the rest of the night read more

I won't be returning. Service may vary. Service may vary. This was my first time attending Beyond Brunch . I followed the BB Sundays on IG i was excited to finally go. A group of friends and I reserved a picnic table that included two bottles for the 3:30 -6:30 slot . I really don't like to leave anything less than a 4 star review for a Black-owned or Black managed experience, but the service was very inconsistent and it affected our experience. *You might pay more. You might be more than what is advertised when we arrived. The amount that the final amount that was shared with us was greater than what was publicized on the website *Food lines were inefficient. The line for food was pretty long and inefficient. How did they find a way to have double buffet lines so that I think it runs more quickly and smoothly *Teamwork and communication are lacking. When we went to the host stand to be seated, they thought our party had already been seated and we had to wait for the host, who greeted us at the door, to come and clarify. This took about 15 minutes. *Poor Service. It took almost another 30 minutes for us to receive our drinks. We watched two tables be seated after us, and both of those tables received their drinks before we did. Allergen risk* For some reason when drinks finally came out, they only brought out pineapple juice. Usually two juices are brought out. Someone in our party is allergic to pineapple juice, and we specifically asked for cranberry juice and coke when paying the balance. After sharing this with our server, she never returned with any other juice. There were a couple individuals who were willing to listen and try to find out what was going on, but things were so busy that the communication did not happen. We watched tables next to us be served and catered to, while our table was completely ignored and neglected. *The food was decent. However, the line was so long that going back in was discouraging. Imaging standing in line for 30 minutes while your favorite sings are being played, then your food being cold. The Unlimited food didn't really feel Unlimited. With this being my first experience and impression I don't see myself returning. *Word to management. - Please foster teamwork. Service should only depend on which bottle girl you get. - Find a way to make your food lines more efficient (Ex: double the lines, allow people to pass on both side of the table. This is often done at hotel banquets) - Be more transparent about pricing, additional fees included gratuity, etc. Surprises are not fun and can damper the mood. read more

One word to describe this place... LIT! I was visiting the Ft. Lauderdale area and a friend invited me and we had a great time! Food was decent, drinks were strong, vibes was on point. Music selection is good as well there was enough variety between dancehall and the Twerkin music lol. They have hookah and bottle service so come prepared to spend but also have a good time! read more

Bar has a great vibe and atmosphere. Foz at the front door was one of the coolest bouncers I've met anywhere. We will go back.

Actually the worst bar I've ever been to, treated horribly. Blunoucers tried to overcharge me, and got pushed to the ground to security for no reason. If your looking to come here, ptepahtr for one of the worst nights oh it your life. This place treats their patrons as just money in the bank and it shows read more

This bar is usually a Millenian hangout. It promotes itself as a Spring Break bar and it usually is open only Thursday-Sunday from about 8or 9pm to about 4am...but they were the host bar for the Day of the Dead celebration this year and they opened early for all the related events. The bar has a nice green space, similar to anyone's backyard with picnic benches and high tops around. There are two large bars serving all kinds of beer and cocktails. Large TV screens are always playing some kind of sports programming. We had a great time here with all the decorations and the live music. Fun place. read more

Came here last sunday for the BB Brunch event held every Sunday 11 am - late. This is a fun place for sunday brunch if you like hip hop, R&B and Carribean music. Great place to celebrate a birthday for the younger crowd or if you just like to start the day with music, dancing and drinking. There is an indoor and outdoor area. Brunch is $50 pp and it includes a great buffet and unlimited mimosas. This includes the indoor area which has high top tables, a bar, stage with dj, the buffet tables and dessert and air conditioning. To sit outside, you have to buy a bottle for $150 which is not bad but no necessary because them mimosas are strong. The vibes outside are more lit and there's another stage with a dj and hookah smoking. I was impressed with the brunch buffet. There were lots of options, omelet and waffle station, fruit and dessert station, traditional breakfast items and soul food like shrimp and grits, collard greens, lobster mac n cheese. I will definitely return when in the mood to have a good time. read more

I totally enjoyed myself at the backyard brunch!! Food was really good. They not cheap with the food too. Unlimited drinks end at 3pm so come early to get your drink on. Some bartenders are weak with making the drinks and some are alright. Music is good. There is 2 djs. I don't like how they didn't share with the pass you have to seat in the cut. You can move around but bottle service seats outside. Make sure your ready to pay for parking. read more

Bouncers have a power trip thought it would be funny to specifically single me out of my friend group to where I was the only one that couldn't get in with no real cause. Actually nonsensical. But showed me who my true friends were when they didn't back me up or threaten to leave also. So thanks I guess for that. read more

OK everyone hold your brunch horses Beyond brunch at Backyard has an unbelievable menu. I was able to come back after over a year and find that they made a few changes but the changes were just improvements. The food is now indoors so that if it rains you're always dry, the live DJs are right up front , they have a guest DJs and they still have wonderful service. They have a great deal and they usually , if you're part of the mailing list, send out a coupon code for half all of the brunch on a Monday with advance purchase. A bunch includes all of the food, music and unlimited mimosas from 11 to 1. You can buy an extended package or purchase a bottle. They have specials running for those as well. It's a fun vibe. We went on 90s day and it was definitely lots of love, uncle Luke came out with his nephew for the throwback party. Great jamz and party. give me a shirt that you got from the kitchen Atreyu why do I have PJs we're going out read more

I have come to this place on 2 occasions, once for the old school R&B night, very mature crowd, great music and drinks, I've also come to their Sunday brunch, vibe was really nice and food was good. Unlimited mimosas was awesome as well. Good service, attentive staff. Nice outdoor space with cute aesthetics read more

SUCH a neat venue, I really appreciate an intimate setting like what you get when visiting "BackYard" Revolution. So it's a bar, but it's BIG, wynwood style you have a beautiful indoor and outdoor stage areas, for concerts merch is sold inside and the "pit" looking stage indoors is closed off ... outdoor stage is where the magic happens! There are several counters for the bar that lines the back of the outdoor venue & a convenient railing is place to the sides which helps shortys like myself to see! My only complains here? I feel the show was oversold, with multiple people passing out from the heat from the crowd (not the elements) before the show even started. This means that again, short concert goes like me stand no chance, we only see half the show because of the magnitude of arms and phones raised... simply a few less tickets would have solved the crowding as there was also a lovely upper balcony to view the show from aswell. Additionally, Ashnikko herself felt the stage was poorly constructed so much so I have video of her calling this out multiple times. Nails, splinters and an uneven deck is truly NOT SAFE especially for such an energetic performer who uses the entire space and floor. Those two inconveniences and hazards were really worth the mention because I feel they can make an already FANTASTIC and intimate venue that much more of a memorable SAFE experience which would bring this place great success. I couldn't take a star away though, the architecture and over all layout was WAY TOO COOL, the AC was COLD where it blew, the music was incredible and the ability to be SO close to a performer you adore is irreplaceable! I hope to see more artist like this at the same venue! TIPS: SHOW UP EARLY it's worth it for the view! Park near an exit, the line to get out is absurd! All in all WHATTA VENUE ! 10/10 read more

Ah backyard. My boyfriend and I loved coming here when it was America's backyard and really wanted to see the new renovations. Backyard still felt like America's backyard but much classier. We are happy with the changes. The pool and dj stand is gone and now they have beautiful artwork and fake grass. Also, kid friendly and dog friendly! We went to watch the heat game and we felt comfortable and safe. You need a reservation to come in and as soon as you do your temperature is taken. After you are sat down, all the tables are very spaced out and I did not feel on top of anyone. All the staff and servers were extremely nice and accommodating. I love the new drink options and the prices are very good. Our drinks were about $6 and pizza was $10. The pizza was okay, we've had better but again we'd gladly come back to watch another game, movie, or band and just have drinks. The white pizza simply tasted like regular cheese pizza with no sauce. We'll be back soon to the Backyard. read more

America's Backyard rebranded and it's the best thing they could have done! Stopped by on soft opening weekend. Very chill, outdoor venue. There is a large amount of tables, and seating areas. Dog and family friendly. At the moment the Only way in is with a reservation limited to 90 minutes. There is a 15 min grace period. You are also required to order at least one item off the menu for the table. Covid measures Included wearing a mask while moving around, the staff also wore masks and gloves. Tried their cheese pizza, it was pretty good! The menu had a nice variety of options, both food and drinks prices are in line with Fort Lauderdale bar prices. Live music was great. The band was playing upbeat tunes, so you can sit down and enjoy the music or watch the game on the projector or one of the many screens around the venue. Go check it out! read more

This place has the rudest security ever. Two of my friends walked up to get on stage and right as i'm following behind, the security guard immediately yells in my face and locks the gate. As i'm trying to turn around and walk down the steps, he physically shoves me down hard and I went flying. He could have just politely told me no and also not used physical violence. ridiculous. read more

Me and some friends bought our new years event ticket online. I've spent new years here in the past and it's been a great time. This time when we arrived we see a massive line outside. The open bar started at 9 and we wasted about 30 minutes waiting in line to get it. It seems they over sold tickets. Finally we get in and the when we get to the bar it was swarming with people. 2 bartenders per bar knowing how busy they would be is pretty stupid. Also there is no order. We got skipped like 3 times at each bar. Of course the bartenders ignore you when someone comes waving cash in their face even if you were next. It took like 15-20 minutes each time to get our drinks. Probably won't be doing new years here anymore. It seems they just want to secure ticket sales and figure out the crowd later. Very messy and unorganized. read more

The vibe is alright. Just when it starts getting decent and your think it's gonna get better, the DJ decides to to be dumb and put on wack song. Don't recommend because of that. Other than that, I still don't suggest to come here. read more

I was allowed in following my boyfriend. While I went to the restroom I realized my boyfriend was on stage with his friend who was DJing. I waited a few minutes for him to come back and then decided to just go up and tell him I was back. While I was doing so, your security grabbed me, insulted me and belittled me as I cooperatively left and went outside to wait for my boyfriend. I understand I was in an area I shouldn't have been in retrospect but the staff could have handled it better without embarrassing a patron. It's not always spring break. read more

When we walked in it was very nice. Very relaxed environment. The staff was amazing! And the DJ was great! It is a buffet style place. The food was ok. I do think that the chicken could've been more flavorful and less dry. It costs $50 for food and $75 for bottomless mimosas. I think the $75 was a rip off. They serve the mimosas in these tiny plastic cups. I had about 6 and it may have equaled about a cup. Ridiculous! Also, Miami is hot. The seating is all outside and they had inadequate cooling systems to keep you comfortable while eating. We sat and sweat our clothes out from doing nothing. It was so hot we barely wanted to get up for food or drink. But the prices we paid was so high, we had to. read more

we paid 90 for no cover w the vip pass specifically for this bar and it was a 50 cover. fun bar but wtf i wasted my money:(

This places has the rudest bartenders you will ever encounter. My friends and I paid $30 to get in for an "open bar" until 12 at 10:30. The bar tenders refused to serve any of the girls who paid a cover for free drinks and threatened to call security when they weren't served and said they wouldn't "work for free". Maybe don't work a bar that sells open bar service then. Find another bar to work at. read more

Really cool place, but I had a bartender who was genuinely the rudest person i've ever encountered in the service industry.

Amazing place. Love it here!il go here every weekend and it's so much fun! A great environment and genuinely good people!

Don't book party packages here. booked a party package a few months back for my friends bachelorette. I had confirmed everything was all set the week before our booked time. Everything went to garbage the second we showed up. They had planned a hockey watch party that started at 6, and had forgotten about our package. We had to wait outside for 30 minutes while staff scrambled to figure things out, passing us off to different people. Eventually someone brought us to the bar and told us it wasn't her fault, zero party package stuff could happen and they 'didn't know what to tell us' and said I needed to talk to the bartender. the brunette bartender was awful, super rude and told her manager in front of us she didn't want to deal with us since we had open bar and she assumed we weren't tipping. When I asked if we were getting a partial refund due to not getting half of what we paid for, she yelled 'are you aware you're getting an extra hour of open bar?' No, because that's the first time anyone said that. Some guy who said he was the GM came over and apologized and said he would take care of us and he would be back with champagne- never saw him again. Additionally, I've emailed the event booker Jade and she's definitely never going to respond. So I'm leaving this review now to warn other people not to waste their money. Two stars since the blonde bartenders were super nice, bouncer was funny, and we made the most of our time. read more

So I used to frequent America's Backyard when I was in my hay day of partying; it was one of my favorite places for ladies night. The vibe was always great and you couldn't beat the free drinks. When I saw that the South Florida Day of the Dead was hosted here this year due to covid, I figured that's what it was. All the 20 somethings partying and getting wild. To my surprise, there must be new ownership or new management that totally revamped the Backyard, all the way down to the astroturf. There's benches instead of a bar in the middle and there is a food and drink menu. The bartenders were also servers and they were super attentive and friendly. They explained to us that the food menu was more of a pop up and it must change frequently because right now it's a Mediterranean themed pop up. I was happy to see some vegan offerings as well as other items. Since it was Mexican themed yesterday, we were hoping for more of some Tex-Mex items but I opted for the Falafal Wrap instead. I was not disappointed. The wrap was delicious and it came with some really well done fries. My husband ordered the Beef Tacos and really liked them as well. I stole some of his chips which were delicious! We asked for some sriracha and the server brought out some hot chili sauce which was perfect. The entertainment last night was also great. Overall, we both had such a great experience even though covid ruined the whole DOTD parade. This was a great idea to host the event here, the stage was perfect and even though the music was more jazz themed than mariachi or Mexican, it was awesome. We will definitely be back - especially now that it is more family friendly. read more

A really great place, so much fun!I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the people were really nice.

bouncer kicked me out for dancing on a table with my group of girls that i was with ( only told me to get down but not anyone else ) so i got down cooperatively and exited out and the bouncer and i were exchanging a few words but nothing physical i wasnt inciting any violence whatsoever. long story short i said some stupid remark and walked away and as i walked away ( my back turned towards him ) he cheap shotted me in head gave me a black eye and concussion. cop witnessed it and did nothing about it i tried making a report with another officer refused to take a report. so i will now be filing lawsuits against this establishment and the security bouncer and police. read more

Flew in for a bachelorette party and found this place that offered us $40/person for all you can drink for 2 hours. Seemed like a good deal so we showed up at 10pm like they suggested and we were the first 9 people in the bar. The bartender was so mean and literally rolled her eyes every time we got a drink. About 20min left in our tab time she would look at her watch to see if our time was up. Not really sure why you would offer this deal here if your staff was not willing to accommodate.... read more
