Since the remodel, it does not feel like a dive bar anymore, and it feels like a very comfortable place to grab fair price drinks with friends and coworkers for sure! Beautiful bartenders who know how to mix a good drink, the taller one definitely knows amazing service!
Absolutely wonderful place nice and spacious and plenty of small businesses that for the most part are very decent and I haven't had any incidents out there. I strongly recommended if you're ever in the area you're in good hands again it's a little traffic yet some point depending on the day and the time but it's definitely worth it.
I love that they have a dj always great service friendly bartenders but ive never tried the food here
Fabulous service and she should be a chef lol and always an excellent bartender. 😁 …
We finally found a great local bar. Friendly service and locals and good food! Great price on beer too (not that I drink beer, bf does).
Backstreet is the place to go for a nice selection of beers and other brews, mixed drinks, or wine in a small venue. It recalls the corner tavern or local watering hole, with a bit of sports bar thrown in. Today I had their freshly prepared Roast Beef sandwich with Au jus dip. With added melted cheese and fried onion and green pepper and french fries, that made a basket-cleaning meal. The cold brew also was great.
For a bartender cooking my food it was the best steak sandwich I have ever had.
I finally ordered dinner from this place. Staff are great. They took my order and when we went to pick up our food it was ready exactly on time. It was still hot, and not only that bit they put out jalapeno poppers in the fryer shortly before we arrived so they were fresh. Hands down, this place has the best American bar food in town. Their jalapeno poppers are hot, crisp, and has a nice tang because they use pickled jalapenos. They are also a little on the spicier side but not so hot you cant eat them. My husband loved his boulevard bbq burger. It has a really thick patty with a really good char. He ate about half and then ate the other half when he saw me eyeing it. They also season the fries with salt and fresh cracked pepper which was a nice touch. Finally, the whole reason I made the trip here was to try their clam chowder. Their clam chowder was a bit thicker than I am used to, but it is hands down better than any place in the valley outside of the bay area. It is thick, rich, full of soooooo much flavor, and they don't skimp on the heavy cream. The clams are also cut in big chunks which I like seeing in the chowder and there are clams in every bite. I'm going to be ordering my chowder from this place from here on out. The food here is good enough that they really need to expand into a full size bar and grill with more table seating. *EDIT* I came back here for Friday night dinner and a couple of drinks with my husband. I ordered a cheddar bacon burger and have decided that this is the best burger you can get in town. The char and juiciness of their burgers is off the chain! You can't get a burger this good at a restaurant. Yes, I said it and I'll die on this hill. They could charge $20 for this burger and I would still pay it.
One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! They hand press the patty right in front of you at the bar! Berlin the bartender is an absolute gem we loved her.
First time trying and they didn’t disappoint! I ordered the Sicilano Salad added avocado, and mozzarella sticks. I was hesitant about the salad because of the price, after picking up my order I realized it’s well worth it. The greens are very fresh asking with the other veggies. Large meat portion, capicola and salami. The Italian dressing must be house made because it’s delicious. Very large portion, easily enough for two! The mozzarella sticks were tasty as well and I enjoyed the marinara, it tastes like it’s from scratch. Enverything was done extremely well. I’m impressed. :)
