First time at this site. Small,cozy and welcoming atmosphere. 5 of us dropped in for evening drinks and dinner ( 8:00 pm on).
We ordered the 3 dip Special- excellent flavor profile on the queso, guacamole was fantastic and the salsa was a perfect finish for the fresh baked chips.

Drinks: best bourbon old fashion I can remember. Generous pour, complex and enjoyable flavors. I enjoy on the rocks with an ice back. Options are offered. Beer list extensive . Mixed drinks- impressive and well crafted.

Waitstaff- Lauren was our person and excelled in providing service and a gentle thread of humor and personality. Prompt and efficient plus a genuine interest in making shire we had a good experience.

Definitely a place to revisit!

We’ve been here with a small group a few times! It’s small & cozy. The staff is wonderful. The food is very good. The Mexican pizza is delicious! They also have a great selection of whisky. Great place for dinner & drinks!

We went during happy hour and it was evenly packed and getting few more tables filled. Nice comfy little place with great drink options, great menu and great place to hang out early evening. Parking is also not too challenging. There are options across the road, there’s a parking garage. The tacos were good. The shredded chicken was overloaded with chicken. And the shrimp taco had a nice crunch with the added coleslaw. I am not a big coleslaw fan with shrimp tacos but someone may enjoy them.
Will be back!

My family hosted a retirement party for me at The Backdoor last night and it was fabulous! The food, the cocktails, the service, the whole package. Highly recommend for your special event. Matt and Megan were so attentive to all of our guests. We had a blast. Thanks for making the celebration so special! -LD

This is one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Rochester. The atmosphere alone makes it perfect for a great night out. The Midnight margarita is a must try and the dip trio is one of my go-to starters. If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, attentive service, and consistently delicious food and drinks, this is the place for you! Highly recommend!

Fun new experience with friends! Wait staff was attentive even with a packed restaurant. Food and drinks were all amazing. I don’t typically order tacos, but I couldn’t resist giving them a try. They were as good as I hoped they would be and I will definitely order them again.

The trio dip was a good size portion and the chips were excellent. House made margaritas did not disappoint. I tried padre tequila flight for the first time excellent with a sweet finish. The flight came with black salt rim limes a really nice touch. Great service from Yara. We’ll be back.

Wouldn’t recommend for a small group but the two of us loved it here. Dim lit, speakeasy vibes. Great drinks and the chip trio was excellent from the queso, to guac, to salsa. We’ll be back!

I visited with a party of 3 and we sat at the bar around 7:00 on a friday night. We were initially served drinks quickly but after that it was almost impossible to flag down any bartender to put in our appetizer/food orders. We got the chips and salsa to start, which was good, but we were all needing water and unable to get some from any of the bartenders that quickly passed by. Dinner eventually came and one of us was missing the side of rice we ordered- it was never received. The food runner was more attentive than the bartender! As we ate, we quickly noticed that other customers around us were sitting with empty drinks and their credit cards out waiting for the bills. The couple sitting next to us waited over 25 minutes to be cashed out. We all wanted a second round of drinks but couldn’t get any because we couldn’t get any of the bartenders attentions- on top of our 3 empty drinks piled together. One of the bartenders exclusively tended to her friends next to us and continued to get them multiple rounds of drinks and shots while we were waiting with a card ready and asking for water for over 20 minutes. Some of the worst service I’ve experienced in Rochester so I can’t recommend this place.

This restaurant is an absolute gem! The perfect date night location or girls night out. You can never go wrong with a margarita, but the “Midnight Margarita” with charcoal is truly next-level—smooth, bold, and impressively unique. Pairing it with their crispy chips and fresh salsa is always a winning move.

When it comes to the main course, the beef brisket and pork carnitas are out of this world—tender, flavorful, and packed with authentic taste. Every bite is perfection! And to top it all off, you can grab a dessert from D’Marcos next door—talk about the best of both worlds! If you’re looking for incredible food, amazing drinks, and a top-tier dining experience, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!
