Hosted a show there recently and the staff were great, the location is decent and the atmosphere was on point as well.

We waited 40 minutes for our food, although the place was pretty empty. Pizza was okay, Rosa pasta wasn’t good. Would not come back.

Excellent musical atmosphere and location, the volume a little high for my taste but definitely a place for those who like to frequent parties and Caribbean music.

Being here felt like a fever dream… almost every drink we wanted to order was “out of stock” and one of my friends ordered an old fashioned and the server said “Honestly, I make a really really bad old fashioned. Like really bad.” so he had to order something else. Overall a funny story to tell - but maybe keep ingredients in stock for your drink menu and train your staff :P

Great experience, very accommodating, excellent food, and music choice. Fantastic staff. Would definitely come back anytime!(The front door should close automatically when it's cold out, but aside from that, 5/5!!)

We booked weeks in advance the "backroom" for a friends 40th. Please do not look at their current website as it is completely inaccurate, not the same menu, no gluten free options, the "backroom" looks like a dingy basement unlike the picutres.Location: This is about the only good thing going for them, they have a nice spot conveniently located right by a nice and affordable indoor parking lot.Service: Non-existant. I wish I had taken pictures of how filthy the place was when we got there. Nothing was set up although we booked well in advance... My wife and I showed up before their staff did, that was our first impression, while waiting we also kept seeing rats in their trash outside that is just there in plain sight next to the outdoor dining areas, there is sandbags and garbage in what was possibly once an operational fountain. They didn't have anything ready, floors needed to be mopped, fruit flies everywhere, sticky tables.. another GUEST had to go and grab cutlery, napkins, glassware (which was dirty, but in a clean area (lipstick and wine smell on the glasses)), etc.. When the night began they brought wings and never cleared any table, it was filthy all night long, after we order their garbage pizza, they never cleared the tables, they never offered us water, we had to get up every time we wanted a drink and that too was limited, the bartender had 2 guests fighting over the last redbull, their beer taps didn't work, their POS machine didn't work, and the music wasn't working until 3 hours in.Food: I know of a few guests that went to McDonald's on their way back home as the food was pretty bland and either burnt or under cooked. They had 1 heineken, stella and corona, you had to ask for a lime for your corona and seem to inconvience the barmaid. We ordered at 7:30 and I didn't get my pizza until 9:15.. 4 of us didn't get it until there.. the owners response was "people dont like eating past 9???" like are you serious? Your slogan under your "Backroom" sign says "Events venue" you can't even handle 20 people, what a joke.Atmosphere: Based on pics and other guests previous experience, it sounded fun and like a great place, when we got there it didn't feel like the old place it used to be, not even close. Big fat 0 for atmosphere.Take that 1 star because I'd give a 0 if I could..AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID unless you like eating fruit flies and garbage, and like waiting 2 hours for your sub-par pizza.

Walked in, no one greeted us. I asked if we can sit outside, bartender says yes. We sat outside for 15 minutes & no one came to serve us so we left.

Love this place! Friends and I have come here twice and both times it was an amazing experience.The bartenders had great mixed drinks and were hilarious. They were joking around and everyone had great times. They also played great music, they played a really nice variety of genres and even let us pick songs. 100% recommend if you're looking for a good bar experience
