Backyard bar is a togo place is you are around Apex, it’s a cozy place to hangout with friends in the evenings, I visited the place, had some drinks chatting with friends and there’s a pool table located inside. The bartenders are friendly and place is safe, the great thing is it’s off the highway for quick stops. Must visit at least once, the plus thing is there’s an Indian food truck outside for quick bites. If you live around Apex, you can’t resist visiting again after your first visit.
