in the last weekMy son and I went into Backspin last night about 7:15pm. We found a table around the back side of the bar. There were several groups there and the bar was half full. We waited almost 25 minutes and no one ever came to greet us or take any order. As we were waitng, I never noticed any wait staff- there was a bartender. There were drinks and food at several tables. As we left, I did notice 3 girls who looked like waitresses talking right inside the bar. I cannot say if we would go back.
