Serving drinks & outdoor fun for everyone.

Our Story

We thought one of the oldest towns in Texas could use a little more fun. Come visit us at The Backyard, Seguin’s first and only social hub for live music, eats, refreshments, and shopping.  

Converted from the historical Lizzie Burges Elementary Campus and inspired by Lizzie M. Burges herself who loved music, nature, children, and family; The Backyard provides a unique space for the residents of Seguin and surrounding cities to gather, make memories, and have fun!
