"Everything about this establishment met my needs. I’m not easy to please, but my server was amazing. Please ask for Izzy. If you visit the backyard she accommodated our pets as well as us and was very attentive. The atmosphere is amazing especially if you have big dogs.lol the food is tasteful as well … great experience 10 out of 10 I will visit again"

"It was new years and busy but overall the experience was fun for the first time. It was my fiancés birthday too so it was a good vibe for the night. A guy bartender made sure we were taken care of kind of pricey for the our tho"

"The vibes here were good and the quesadilla was honestly really tasty. Unfortunately the service was slow and the server seemed to be in her own world most of the time. The fact that they add gratuity here is kind of crazy considering it's a bar, but if the service was good it wouldn't have bothered me."

"If you’re looking for the ultimate dog-friendly spot in Dallas, look no further than Backyard—especially after the way they showed up for Dog Day Fest 2025! This wasn’t just another event; it was a full-on celebration of our furry friends, and Backyard went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. From the moment you walked in, tails were wagging and smiles were everywhere. Backyard turned their space into a dog paradise—plenty of room for pups to play, relax, and soak up all the love from the community. You could tell right away that this wasn’t just a “pet-friendly” venue; they genuinely welcome dogs and their humans like family. The staff deserves a huge shout-out. They weren’t just there to work; they were in the spirit of the festival—handing out water bowls, giving belly rubs, and making sure both two-legged and four-legged guests felt right at home. Their energy made the whole place buzz with joy. And let’s talk food—wow! Backyard served up the kind of eats that keep people talking long after the event. From mouth-watering bites to refreshing drinks, it was the perfect fuel for a day of dog-filled fun. Pair that with live music, games, and the incredible lineup of vendors and rescues, and you had an event that brought the whole Dallas dog-lover community together. Backyard didn’t just host—they supported, encouraged, and amplified what Dog Day Fest was all about: community, connection, and celebrating our pups. Dallas needs more places like this that understand how important our dogs are in our lives. Huge thank you to Backyard for being such an incredible partner. Can’t wait to come back—tails wagging, of course! 🐾"

"I didn’t realize this was a dress code type of place. We were turned away because we were not dressed okay (wearing a Patagonia shirt and shorts with Yeezy shoes). Came here because reviews said they were dog friendly. Apparently not and not okay unless dressed up a certain way"
