About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
We like to keep the vibes relaxed and communal at Back Bar. To keep the vibes vibin’, we’ve decided to no longer offer reservations for Back Bar via OpenTable so that we can be your go-to for a spontaneous meet-up with friends or pre-dinner drink. We will honor all current reservations.

Look for the red light in the alley. When the light is on, the back bar is open.
We open at 4 pm Wednesday - Saturday.

    Cozy and uniquely gorgeous little speakeasy. Lively, but not overcrowded at all, even on Valentine’s Day. Great spot for conversation, though it’s possible you’ll be seated close to others with some unconventional seating (not bad however). Pizza and cocktails are incredible. Music plays on film reels. The drink menu changes occasionally and always fun and totally unique.

    We were deciding whether to go to Backbar or restaurant for our first time at YJ. We went to Backbar and it was okay. The BB is more for just having drinks IMO, not dinner as we did. Honestly I’m not sure if I will go back. 2 pizzas and 2 drinks each were over $150 which is a little spendy even for downtown. The Korean BBQ beef pizza was amazing but at $27 not worth it. Service was great though and BB was quite cozy. Would be good for a just drinks date night just plan on it being spendy.

    Pizzas were great. Drinks were average but the main negative was the “chilly” service. We expected hospitality, but service was brisk and impersonal. Cannot recommend.

    If you haven’t been you are missing out. Part of Young Joni’s. It’s a cool vibe speak easy. Not a full menu but you can get all the pizzas on the menu. We had a great time!
