What Guests Say About Backstage Bar & Grill

Ruben is an outstanding bartender—friendly, professional, and incredibly skilled. Every drink is made to perfection, and he creates a great atmosphere. The bar has an awesome vibe, and the food is just as impressive. Highly recommend! S

A Mixed Experience with Exceptional Service I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful overall experience, though my time at the on-site restaurant was a bit of a rollercoaster. The Food If you’re stopping in for a bite, I would definitely recommend the loaded nachos—they were a highlight! However, I’d suggest skipping the mahi-mahi tacos, as they didn't quite hit the mark for me. They were fried hard and not grilled. The Standout Staff What really made my visit special was the incredible service from the restaurant staff. AdaMarisa (aka Ms. Ada) was fantastic. She was so polite and attentive; I truly appreciated her waiting on me every morning. She made the start of my day much brighter. The young night bartender with the Afro was also pretty awesome and added a great energy to the atmosphere. A Note for Management I did have one concern during my visit. On three separate occasions, I witnessed an individual who appeared to be the restaurant manager being quite rude to Ada. It was disappointing to see such a hardworking and professional team member treated that way. I decided to share this here rather than confronting him directly, as I feel it's important to highlight how much I valued Ada’s kindness and professionalism in spite of that dynamic. The Hotel Stay A huge shout-out to the rest of the hotel staff as well! Everyone was polite and welcoming, making for a very comfortable stay. The hotel itself was great, and I definitely plan to stay here again the next time I’m in Austin.

Mikayla is knowledgeable and friendly, she keeps it fun! She is a great asset to the team. Thank you!

Located in the hotel, fast friendly staff made this quick bite enjoyable 😉

The nachos were fantastic!

Nice place

Excellent breakfast omelet. Great service.

Bartender is so shorthanded it is not fair to bash but the service was not good. 2aited to even pay to leave. Next day wine glass still left out.. Food was really good. They charge enough to have more help. Update the menu to show pricing as the bartender is selling 9oz of a $15 bottle of cab for $27 a glass when 6 oz is only listed.

I’ve had drinks there before wonderful very good. The food is awesome.

Great food and service was fantastic will definitely be back to eat and have fun by the pool .😎😎😎
