Such a welcoming atmosphere. I did not like my cocktail that much but I still give them 5 stars for the vibes and the extremely friendly staff. I'll definitely come back.

The drinks here are really creative and delicious. The bartenders do a great job of coming up with inventive drinks when you ask for bartender’s choice, too. I highly recommend! Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I want to preface this by saying that I've gone many times to Backbar and had never had a bad experience, however I don't think I'll be going back after my last visit. I went with a small group of friends on a weeknight and the bar was pretty empty and we were seated quick. However, from the moment we were seated, the waitress had a massive attitude and just seemed annoyed and bothered. The entire time she kept side eyeing us and seemed like she was annoyed to have to actually serve the drinks. It was very uncomfortable and everyone with me felt the same way. We weren't even finished fully with our drinks and were just sitting there having a conversation when the waitress came over and gave us the check without asking if we wanted to order more drinks (which we did) and this was nowhere near their closing time. She kept hovering around and side eyeing us and checking to see if I put my card down yet. It just felt really strange and like she was trying to push us out. I'm not sure what this was about since we were just sitting there like everyone else and the bar was almost completely empty. We decided against ordering more drinks because of this. It's unfortunate because the atmosphere in the bar is really unique and they have different themed drinks (although the drinks can be hit or miss) but the rude service just ruins the whole vibe of the place.
