Backstage Bar & Billiards

Cool place, good sound system, and a good location if that area is part of your normal routine.

I thought the prices on booze were a little high, but all things considered, a few beers or cocktails won't drive you broke.

They are starting to book more divers bands, so I can only imagine this place taking off over the next year.

Ok, so me and my boyfriend went here for the Mc Chris concert on Sunday. First and foremost let me just say this bar already gets five stars from me because, well, lets face it they hosted Mc Chris (Ba Blam).

So now for the review of the bar. I actually really liked this bar a lot it was relatively spacious even with all the people there for the concert so that was pretty awesome cuz nothing sucks more than going to a bar and barley having room to lift your arm up to take a drink. The decor is pretty on point and they play cool "adult" cartoons and old batman movies on the TVs so that is also a for sure star for this place. They also have this sweet bookcase that doubles as a secret passage pretty amazing. The bartenders are really nice and very fast. Pretty much the bartenders there know how to cater to a large crowd. At a crowded bar I only waited 3 mins tops to get help. I bought a jack and coke and a bottle of water and the bill came to $11 bucks which in my opinion is not bad at all especially for Vegas bars on Fremont.

All in all I had to give this place five stars for there awesome music guests, kick ass decor and friendly staff. I will definitely be going back to this venue for another show or just to go hangout. I highly suggest for locals and yelpers to go and check it out and support the rebirth of downtown!!

We stopped into Backstage Bar because my friend wanted to check it out and PENN from Penn and Teller was perfoming w/ his band.Which was kinda cool the band was ok and no cover charge which is a ++ The bar staff was friendly but slow and didnt know if they had specials.Which I feel if you work at the bar you should know this or at least try to recommend me something like a special drink you are known for something etc. The decor is cool all styled after music road gear cases which is cool even the bar is set up like that very cool but They need more seating I am not going to go into a bar w/ my g/f and stand shes going to want to leave. also I guess they had pool but no signage w/ pricing or how you get a table etc.Also everyone was sitting on them maybe only 30 people inside the place. It was a good atmosphere and chill spot just barstaff needs to get more informative and know how to sell and suggest drinks hence why everyone is drinking PBR cause its cheap and no suggestions or other deals!! Overall kinda cool spot  just need to work on customer service
