The BackRoom — Restaurant in Solvang

We stopped here after going to Solvang Brewery because we wanted to bar hop but no are specifically trying other beers in the area. We were surprised to walk into a beer shop with a nice gentleman who could tell we looked lost but when I asked about the bar the said it was a membership bar but since it was our first time he let us in as visitors with a pass to what I now know is a speakeasy. Super cool entrance which explains unassuming the beer shop. We were welcomed and impressed by the beer selection on tap. The server was very knowledgeable and the patrons were all extremely friendly and welcoming. We struck up a few conversations about beer, about the locals and just general chit chat with good beer and good people. They also sell snacks and there's an outdoor patio and games to play, things to read, and just a very cool atmosphere overall. Nothing snooty or pretentious about this place. It's great to be in a comfortable setting with mature adults who just love beer! Highly recommend place to chill and slavtually conversate with fellow beer admirerers. We would definitely go back and if you're local a membership...

It was my first time here. What a great little spot. The staff was incredibly friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable. I'm not sure what the actual number is but they had over a dozen taps with a rotating lineup and a ton of bottles to choose from. You did, however, have to find your way through the front of the store to the Backroom. (If you don't know, you can't go). They have small food items to munch on but don't have a restaurant menu. This is a place to share some amazing beers with your friends (or make some new ones) and just relax in a comfortable atmosphere. They also sell Homebrew ingredients and equipment and will help you get started on your beer making journey. I'll visit this spot every time I'm in town...

Initially, I set out to go to Solvang Brewery, but they were closed. So I ended up just walking a bit farther to find a place to finish up some work on a Friday evening.

Enter, Backroom Brewery. It's almost like a nondescript main entrance, like a store front where to go beers are sold. But then real through the store towards the back; voila the bar and patio.

The vibe is super chill. There are a multitude of other breweries drafts on tap so that's great. Prices are a tad higher than what I've paid but it's a tourist area so it is what it is.

Come check their place out when you...
