Ample street parking is available, and we are within walking distance of several downtown hotels.

Please do not park in any of the neighboring businesses’ parking lots (as your vehicle may be towed).

Yes, we are a family-friendly establishment; however, children must always be supervised by a parent or guardian. All guests must be at least 21 years old with a valid government issued ID to purchase and/or consume alcohol on premises.

No, we don’t brew our own beer. Instead, we proudly showcase many of the Central Coast’s best local craft breweries including: Firestone Walker, BarrelHouse, Wild Fields, Central Coast Brewing, Liquid Gravity, There Does Not Exist, and more. And for those non-beer drinkers in your group, we also serve a wide selection of local craft cider, wine, hard seltzer, and hard kombucha.

Yes, we offer a lunch and dinner menu. We also offer a separate catering menu for larger parties and special events. Food menu, pricing, options, and service arrangements (i.e. timing, set-up, logistics, etc.) will need to be agreed upon and coordinated in advance and may require a deposit. Copies of our current regular and catering menus are posted on our website and are also available by request. Please note that these menus are subject to change, and some dishes are only available seasonally.

Yes, you are welcome to bring your own flowers and decorations. However, items like confetti, glitter and feathers (including balloons that come with these items inside) are strictly prohibited. Your area must be cleared by your reservation end time.

If there are no reservations prior to yours, and no walk-in customers occupying the space, then you are welcome to come in early to decorate and set up. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the space is unoccupied. The only way to ensure early access is to reserve the space for the prior time slot.

No, The Backyard is intentionally designed to be an outdoor venue to take full advantage of the Central Coast’s amazing climate. As such, it is very weather dependent so be sure to dress accordingly. We do have a few small-covered areas (Garage, Porches) and are equipped with plenty of shade, umbrellas, misters, heaters, and fire pits to provide comfort during most days and evenings.

Yes, you may choose to have an Open bar, a Hosted bar, or a No-Host bar:
– Open bar – your guests may order any drinks they like during the event, and the charges will go onto one tab.

– No-Host / Cash bar – guests will purchase their own drinks (no open tab).

A credit card is required to open a tab. Wristbands or drink tickets are available. CA Sales tax (8.75%) and gratuity/service charge (20%) will automatically be added to all Open and Hosted Bar charges.
