DO YOU HAVE FOOD?

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN BEER?
While we think there is nothing better than one of our beers, we understand that not everyone drinks beer. We have ready-to-drink cocktails on tap, plus Connecticut-made wine, cider, and soda options for our gluten-intolerant friends and non-beer drinkers.
DO YOU TAKE RESERVATIONS?
We do not require reservations for tables. If you have a larger group (15+), please email us and let us know ahead of time. We will try to accommodate your group the best we can. We also recommend coming closer to opening to be guaranteed a table. If you are interested in a private event at Back, please click on the Private Events menu above.
