It may have started as just a bar, all those years ago, but it has been much more than that to many aggies. For over 40 years, we’ve been on Northgate, celebrating the big wins, knocking back a few after a tough test, reminiscing and reconnecting with friends. We’ve been there for the awkward first dates, the 20 year wedding anniversaries, the nights to remember and the nights to forget!
The Backyard on Northgate takes pride in its uniquely laid-back environment and southern hospitality.
From the indoor gaming opportunities and multiple flat-screen TVs to the outdoor bar and spacious patios (equipped with hanging swing chairs!), The Backyard on Northgate is a perfect spot to watch the game, have a great time, and feel right at home!
