    This bar was so strange inside, but I loved it. Staff was great and attentive. I enjoyed chatting and looking at all the things around me

    Even on a SUN night they know how to mix a Cosmo like no other! Great music and vibe.

    One of the best hang out bars in downtown Huntington. Good beer selection, great staff and a neat outside patio. Can't go wrong here.

    Fun, small bar. A little odd on the decor and some of the regulars are a little peculiar, but it is pretty fun.

    Dirk is a prince among men and I hope his bar is as successful as possible. One of the better bars in Huntington

    We came here on a Saturday night for dinner. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our party of four…read moreto be seated. It was a little busy. Even once we were seated the server was telling us that the kitchen was a bit backed up so that is why our food was taking a little longer. Our waitress was nice and friendly. She gave us honest opinions about the items on the menu, which is always great to have. We ordered the Meggie's Bread Sticks with Cheese as our appetizer. It was delicious, especially with the added cheese. It came with some red sauce stuff to dip the bread sticks in. The pizza we got was the 14 inch Gladiator. It had 6 slices. It was good, but a bit messy (and hot when it first came out). At the end we ordered the Backyard Hay Stack (minus the nuts). That was really good as well and we devoured it. The ambience was good. It was a little loud, however it was crowded. There was a little astronaut theme going on here. I recommend coming to Backyard Pizza.

    Great atmosphere, but serious seafood safety concerns…read more I really wanted to love this spot the vibe is fun, the service was decent, and the menu looked promising. But unfortunately, I had a serious issue with the mussel dish I was served. When the bowl arrived, most of the mussels were completely closed, which is a huge red flag for anyone familiar with seafood. As a general food safety rule: if a mussel doesn't open during cooking, it was likely dead before being cooked and it's unsafe to eat. I flagged it right away to avoid getting sick, and while the server acknowledged it and took off $4, that felt like a very minimal gesture for a dish that could have caused food poisoning. I'm grateful I caught it before taking a bite, but serving unopened shellfish isn't just a minor mistake it's a health hazard. The cream sauce itself was tasty, and the bread was good, but the overall experience left me cautious. If you're ordering seafood here, I recommend checking your plate carefully or maybe just skipping it altogether until kitchen safety improves. Hoping they step it up. Food safety isn't negotiable
