I started with a tasting flight of the rum. I liked the vanilla rum the best. My wife liked the Hibiscus Vodka. It is her new favorite vodka. Setting is limited so bring chairs as a backup. The burgers were flavorful. I substituted tots for chips with the burger and they were delicious. Request them extra crispy.

Backdoor Comedy Club

Voted “best comedy club” by D Magazine and Dallas Observer, Backdoor Comedy is the city’s longest running stand-up comedy club, and after 20 years, still reigns as the hot spot for comedy in North Texas. Shows feature eight or more comedians per night including national touring comics from Comedy Central, Showtime and NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and the best of the local pros. By having a variety of comics on each show, The Backdoor gives audiences the opportunity to see a diverse group of performers, each bringing their own unique style of comedy to every show. The coziness of the Backdoor takes you back to the roots of stand-up and gives you the intimate atmosphere of the original comedy rooms in NYC and LA. Catch stand-up comedy “how it was meant to be seen” at what the Dallas Observer calls “the hottest comedy showcase room in the Southwest.” The Backdoor has become the "go to" spot for birthdays and other special occasions. Each person celebrating gets their own personel shout-out during the show. And travelers enjoy the convenience that the club is located inside a Doubletree by Hilton hotel. Reservations are recommended.

I have attended many performances there ,have taken my children,and now my grandchildren over the years ..and have never been disappointed . Good children program,with pre - show activities.. Easy access ,easy parking ( paying) ..restaurant on premises .. Needs to have more restaurants around .. Being from overseas,I am a bit disappointed,that no venues offer discounted prices for senior citizens or youth under 16 ....as many countries do Overall it is a very good addition to the area
