Great happy hour 4-8pm M-F

Cool place to go out to, we went Friday night and had a blast. Two different areas playing two different kinds of music and the drinks are fairly priced too. Back alley is a good place to start if you're looking to go out in Fullerton.

Great to socialize and meet new people. 2 dance floors, great music. Large bars

first time here Good place to party outside dining inside drinks comedy club, bike night. Cheyenne at the bartender waitress is great and very attentive. And pretty smile. Will be going back soon, had one potato taco it was great, you got to try one or maybe 10. Definitely four stars. JD out

Love this place! Great service, and very prompt security.

Very fun place, will definitely be back.

Great happy hour, cool bar , live music

Cute spot close too many other bars. You have to pay for parking in lot which is very limited. Limited street parking as well. It took 30 minutes just too find parking. But like the atmosphere.

No fancy drinks here but a great environment and good pub food.

Back alley is super fun. The dj played good music, lots of throw backs for the early 2000's mixed with modern music. And they have buy one get one free beers on Thursday. Yeah the bar smells like smoke since the outside bar has a window into the inside but i didnt care at all. The bartender was nice. The bouncer was nice. And there was no cover charge. Im in for this place for sure.

Cool little hang out to chill with friends. Always different venues to entertain guest which keeps it fun

Douglas is a great bartender he gave us amazing service. Very grateful for the service he provided for us tonight.

Classic downtown Fullerton bar, good music.

The best bar to hang out at with your new girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend

Great service delicious food and strong drinks!! What more could you ask for? 👍

Usually there is no entrance fee and the drinks are pretty good on price for the Amount of alcohol and the music is always good will definitely come back

Solid Food, arrived during the monthly bike night. Good people and conversation. Angela Michelle Dj and playing all the classic rock hits. Comfortable atmosphere. Definitely recommend and will be back again when in town.

So, this place is the definition of a local rockers bar where everyone knows everyone's business. Friendly staff. Drink pour is moderate as well as the price. The bar seems to have different theme nights which i like, those types of bars appeal to a cross section of customers. Definitely worth visiting.

I came here for several months to see DJ Jag for Karaoke and the dude was an absolute gem of a human being to sing for. He recently ended his gig there but the culture of that bar is still very friendly and respectful and I'll be happy to come back to say hi to everyone.

The drinks were 10/10, service was awesome even for a weeknight and we had a good time overall. Would definitely come again.

An all around a fun place. Cool workers and good people 👍 The bartender Ramona is tons of fun!!! Plus there is a large selection of drinks 🍸 Don't miss out! Plus Live music and a DJ on the weekends.

The Best Place in Fullerton & that's saying a lot with all of the places in downtown Fullerton. Food is bomb, drinks are on point, staff is awesome... especially if you get Andrew, one of the owners serving you. He is the best server, comes up with most of the menu items and experimental Drinks! Dry Rub Wings are the Best Wings in all of SoCal! You will be Very Happy you checked this place out! 5 out 5 Stars in All Categories

If you want a friendly, fun loving local hangout THIS IS THE PLACE. Everyone is friendly. Food is excellent. Bar is great. Management is wonderful. This WILL be our go to place.

Great crowd, good music. Super laid back and chill. Not to crowded. Good prices.

Bar and grill set up with outdoor patio area. Bar is fully stocked with a large variety of beers. Great vibes , pool tables, and music. Friendly staff

Very chill place with two sides. One side for listening to music & having loud fun with your friends. Another side for having a more quiet time with your date or significant other. Their food is to die for including Loaded Fries.

Been sitting here for over an hour and yet to be offered a new refill… or menu for food if this bartender would pay more attention to her job!

Dark and cozy. Very friendly staff. But only bar service. Mixed drinks are not very good. Been there about seven times including pre COVID. Keep going back because of the ambiance.

Great little place, the food there is bomb! I highly recommend the carnitas tacos they were outrageous!! Live music in a Cool vibe friendly staff very attentive, the chefs there are cranking out five star hotel food in a tiny little place amazing !!!

Don’t go here if you aren’t white ! My friend was confronted and shoved by a white patron and when my friend (Hispanic) defended herself and pushed back , the woman caused a scene & the bouncers immediately took her side & called my friends the aggressors without even questioning what happened or witnessing the situation. Super unprofessional & obvious discrimination especially from the bald bouncer!

Such a friendly bar with great price and excellent food. Joaquin is a really good bartender that knows how to take care of all the customers at the same time. Pool table is in good condition and nice seating fills the entire bar. Give them a try and see what I am talking about. Live music and karaoke.

1st time back to The Back Alley after several years of choosing to be absent from the bar hopping scene. Service was on point, two separate bartenders approached me asking if I had been helped (that was cool) both very friendly (shout out🗣 of course). It was a relatively quiet Saturday night in DTF. So the scene was moderate and chill, which made it enjoyable. I wasn't crazy about the music that was playing. It was surprising because I remember TBA as an alt/rock/punk bar but hey maybe I just showed on a Sat meant for the younger crowd. Note: if you park in the direct parking lot. It is paid parking. I made the mistake, never saw the signs and got a $52 parking ticket.

I have heard so many good things @ this place I personally haven't Been there, but I was broke down @ the gas station and my boy Drew stopped what he was doing to assist me. He was awesome and just a great Ora!! I am so going to this place especially people like Drew work there it's a must!!

This place is for everyone and all ages, over 21 of course, lol. Bartenders are the best and super friendly. Place literally has 3 bars in one place.

Security is terrible and they don’t care about women’s well being. I was looking out for my friend(woman) and this security guard that didn’t want to ID himself threw me out for looking out for my friend. Horrible establishment and I will not be returning. They need to properly train their security guards in terms of “observing and reporting” like they’re supposed to.

Fun atmosphere. Good live band. Fast and courteous service. Good place to unwind and start the weekend or watch a game.

What can I say about back Alley bar and grill . The place is off the hook good music , good vibe , bartenders are friendly and they make good drinks Dj knows what to play and drops that beat I love you guys ! Highly recommend this place for dancing and taking out dates for dancing !

Went to this place back in December before covid hit. I liked it. However now, you must order food in order to stay there, you can't just order drinks.

The Dry Rub Wings are some of the best I have ever had !!!

Can't wait for it to open after covid-19 on and crackin!!!

Excellent service!

This place was pretty dead for a Saturday night. Service was okay. It's cool that it's a big place with 2 bars. 2 pool tables. And it also has a patio in the back. But other than that I'm sure this place is fun when its actually busy and something is going on. But from my experience it was just okay

Great drinks and good food thumbs up

The food was great and service was Awesome 👌

Yesterday was the first time we came to that restaurant. But It is definitely not the last. We passed a splendid evening with the good service, with the fine food and fine drinks and with the modest price. We will definitely go back there in a short time.

Great product at a reasonable price. Fun place to be with specially when you are with your friends. Nice location.

Was there on crazy rainy evening with lil brother. Still the best place to eat, drink, and smoke!! Eric is great..

This place is awesome! Love the chili verse burger.

Drinks and services are excellent

Great evening, friendly service, comfortable clean outdoor seating, plenty of drink choices, carnitas nachos and chicken wings were just right.

Came here on Halloween and the crowd and seevers were great.

Love this bar!! Don't leave downtown Fullerton without getting great prices and great service at Back Alley!!

Great staff , good drinks ! Thanks for the great experience definitely will be back !

Great bartenders and live music!!!

10/10 bar, excellent service and friendly staff.

Ramona is great shes sooo kind and professional.

Cool place.

Top Ten DTF Bars

Strong drinks and good people

My friend needed an ambulance and no one Would let me talk even thought I knew all of her medical history and all of her history for the night, the bar would t let me talk or speculate on their attitude twards my friend in the situation

It's a loud over priced bar

Loud relaxing atmosphere.

I'll totally come back to this place and grab a beer!

I got removed without warning for dancing... I didn't even come close to anyone

I love the comedy show they have every 3rd Wednesday of the Month. It's Free Drink Specials all night AND you get to meet some pretty dope comedians. I've seen some of the comedians on Comedy Central, Netflix, YouTube, TV shows and at the Comedy Store and the Improv(s). What a hidden gym.

Fun bar. Dancing and live music.

Friendly staff customers, great bartenders nice and clean!

Long island Ice tea was ok. Less sevenup would have been better.
