Planet Marfa
Known For
An iconic backyard bar where string lights meet Presidio County skies
Planet Marfa's outdoor setup is the most photographed backyard in West Texas, and every great-for-photos composition here manages to capture something genuinely strange and bright and airy all at once. Vintage interior touches spill outside into a space that feels like a fever dream of Texas roadside cool.
🕐Best time to visit: Just after sunset when the lights come on and the sky goes purple
Our Take
Planet Marfa has that specific quality where the outdoor space feels like it was art-directed by the landscape itself — big West Texas sky overhead, vintage touches throughout, and a seasonal latte menu that gives you a reason to return in every season. It's right at the edge of the standout-local-favorite tier, making it one of Marfa's most photogenic and purposeful stops.
