Editorial Review for Backstage Bar & Grill – by Lilla Zuckerman
In Short
This dive bar is like a 1970's après ski lounge, complete with rich wood walls and a roaring fire pit to sprawl around. It has all the casual atmosphere of a mountain lodge, with exuberant and rowdy drinking, but these folks didn't just come off the slopes. Old-fashioned rock and roll booms, former frat boys dressed in suits shoot embarrassingly bad pool and the flirtatious barmaid looks like an old B-movie starlet.

I've been to Backstage 4 or 5 times now, and it has consistently been somewhere fun with a cool, diverse crowd (not too trendy). The food there is GREAT!!! Definitely have to try the mac & cheese. And if it's your birthday, they really go out of their way to make sure you and your party has a good time. Based on all the great reviews, the place is probably smaller than you'd expect, but it helps for a cozy atmosphere where everyone cheers on whoever's on the mike for the karaoke. If you're looking for a good time, Backstage is a great place to chill. You can go dressed up or in bar attire (jeans, nice blouse), which is really cool. There's also always lots of people at the spot, so it's a gauranteed fun night with a crowd.

Six friends and I came here on a Wed night to celebrate my 25th bday and I didnt expect much based on the front of the building and the fact that we went out the night before in Hollywood and I was so dissatisfied by the way the bartenders could care less that it was my bday. Boy, I was wrong about the Backstage. This place was so generous to me on my bday! The band sang happy birthday to me and then ordered my friends and I two shots each- all on the house! Coming from Santa Barbara this would be standard behavior as far as Im concerned but not in a big city like LA. Luckily we found this place or my bday would have been disappointing and I think I would have forever disliked LA. Thanks Backstage!!
Pros: Friendly staff and crowd- anything goes
Cons: None
