What Guests Say About Backstage Bar & Grill

Bring a jacket as it is very cold

My bartender was so kind...stayed a little past his shift to make me his signature drink as I just flew in and am awaiting my room to be ready. He also helped change the tv channel so I can watch my college football team!!! I did not eat so can't rate the food! But the drink was fire!

Backstage Bar & Grill is a fun spot to enjoy good food and unwind in a casual atmosphere. The menu offers a nice mix of bar favorites and hearty meals, making it easy to find something to enjoy while catching up with friends. I like having a place where you can relax, grab a bite, and enjoy a lively setting without needing a special occasion. It's a great option for a laid-back evening out!

A very good restaurant, with great food and a lovely atmosphere. Special mention to Stephanie, who was an absolutely delightful waitress and made the experience even more enjoyable. I’d be very happy to see her again outside the restaurant sometime. Valentin

Amazing service and super quick. Good was good for a light bite

I got their $15 burger during happy hour, which was very good. It was cooked exactly how I ordered it and came out hot and fresh and very quickly. I can only speculate but the texture of the meat is making me think it was a frozen patty. It wasn't bad but personally I can tell the difference. I will say, had I paid the $22 for the same burger not during happy hour I would have felt jipped. I'd eat here again but my expectations have been lowered from my experience.

Nice place

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.

Wasn't worth the money. Food was so, so. Service was slow. Even we were the only ones in there and it took way too long to wrangle up burgers and sandwiches. Taps are limited. Atmosphere is nice. Maybe if they had more people in there the service would have been all around better. At least it was quiet.

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.
