Taylorville's Favorite Hangout

Pour yourself a reason to stay a while.

From your morning pour-over to your evening pint — The Backyard is where Taylorville comes together. Good coffee, cold drinks, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

We built The Backyard for the people who make Taylorville feel like home.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a place gets it right — where the coffee is poured with care, the music sits just low enough to let a conversation breathe, and the staff remembers your name. That's The Backyard.

We opened our doors on East Vine Street with one simple idea: create a space that feels like your living room, but better. Whether you're grabbing a single-origin pour-over before work, catching up with a friend over a cold one, or settling in with a book and a pastry, this is your spot.

No pretense. No rush. Just good people, good drinks, and the kind of welcome that makes you want to come back tomorrow.

This isn't a place you pass through. It's a place you settle in.

The Backyard was designed for the in-between moments — the Tuesday afternoon that needs saving, the Friday night that starts with "just one drink," the weekend breakfast you don't want to end.

Soft lighting. Comfortable seats that actually hold you. A playlist that moves with the room. The kind of background hum that makes silence feel easy instead of awkward.

We're right on East Vine, in the heart of Taylorville. Walk in, and you'll know immediately — this is a place where people are allowed to take their time.

Cozy interior with plenty of seating
Curated music — never too loud, always on point
Regulars know each other by name
Free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets

We're right here in the middle of town.
