Backyard replaces Sandbar near SanTan Village in Gilbert

📺 Backyard, the newest concept from Scottsdale-based Evening Entertainment Group, has opened its second Valley location near SanTan Village in Gilbert.

Backyard, which made its Arizona debut in March at Desert Ridge Marketplace in Phoenix, takes over the former Sandbar Mexican Grill, another EEG concept, on the southwest corner of SanTan Parkway and Williams Field Road.

The 9,500-square-foot indoor/outdoor venue features interactive games, lots of TVs, and a scratch kitchen (see menu).

Open at 4 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. weekends.
