Backstreet Bar Italian Kitchen

Nestled on Cottage Street in downtown Brookings, Backstreet Bar Italian Kitchen blends a classic Italian kitchen with a relaxed bar atmosphere that locals and visitors love. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 7 pm, the venue offers a full menu of homemade Italian staples—hand‑crafted alfredo and marinara sauces, wood‑fire pizzas, and a selection of hearty pastas topped with fresh basil and locally sourced vegetables. Signature dishes include the creamy Four‑Cheese Alfredo, a robust Spaghetti Bolognese, and a unique pork‑belly burger that has become a weekend favorite. For dessert, the kitchen’s cheesecakes—made from scratch each day—range from classic New York style to seasonal flavors like blackberry lavender. The upstairs bar, illuminated by vintage neon signs, serves draft beers, Italian wines, and creative cocktails, while a nightly jukebox and occasional lotto games keep the vibe lively. Family‑owned and award‑winning (2023 Restaurant Guru Award), the space provides free Wi‑Fi, curbside pickup, and delivery to Brookings and nearby Gold Beach. Parking is ample on the street, and the friendly staff are known for quick service and a welcoming smile. Whether you’re grabbing a quick take‑out lunch, enjoying a relaxed dinner with friends, or sipping a cocktail after a day on the Oregon coast, Backstreet Bar Italian Kitchen offers authentic flavors, a cozy setting, and a true taste of Brookings hospitality.
