500 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

by therealdiningdiva at Citysearch

This place has every beer you can imagine. A crowded and congested spot, but situated in a great location near several other restaurants/ bars, nightclubs and movie theater. Great pick-up spot. Be sure to designate a driver...you're gonna need one.

Good vegetarian food exists - but not here.

by starmoon at Citysearch

I've been to the Yard House on many occasions, work-related and non-. Every time I went there for dinenr, I ended up with the same entree - angel-hair pasta with tomatoes. And each time, it was an abomination. Mushy, overcooked angel-hair (hint to the kitchen: it takes like 3 minutes to cook), underripe tomatoes (defintitely not roma), and so much salt that the dish was inedible. There really is no other decent veggie main dish. Nothing good to say about the food here.

• Pros: Location, drinks
• Cons: Food, Food, Food

Tap into gorgeous views, a swinging scene and more than 250 kinds of beer.

The Scene
Breathtaking waterfront views take a back seat to the 110-foot oval bar that features ornate tap handles for more than 250 beers from around the globe. Steel, cement and wood accents give the place a modern industrial-chic ambience, with classic rock pumping out of the speakers and 14 television monitors peppered throughout. Large parties bring in the hustle and bustle as patrons traipse around the three main areas clutching the house specialty: beer by the yard, a 36-inch tall glass from which this hot spot takes its name. For a slower pace, relax on the spacious on-the-water patio (a.k.a. beer garden).

The Draw
Repeat offenders include sports fans, beer aficionados and a handful of tourists. Friday and Saturday nights belong to hordes of singles grabbing a leisurely cocktail before heading to the clubs.

This place gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Expect to wait for 1-2 hours. Parking is free for the 1st 2 hours with validation, restaurant don't accomodate the long wait when it comes to parking validation--2 hours is all you get. What makes this restaurant like no other are the drink selection. Other than that its an average restaurant.

• Pros: beer selection, food variety
• Cons: crowded, parking

Great Food and Beer!

The Yard House is great! They have tons of beers on tap, and great food! The waiters/waitresses are pretty knowledgeable about the different beers and can help you decide on a new brew to try.

• Pros: Food Quality, Beer Selection

Why??

by samanthacuster at Citysearch

We have enjoyed the Yard House for many years. Many of are boating buddies / groups like Scope and River Race X, have enjoyed being able to dock their boats below the Yard House and enjoy the beer and food. But now the Yard house will lose the boating world do to the limited space availiable for docking.

• Pros: Great food, Great Beer, Great View
• Cons: No parking 4 boats, No Parking 4 Boats, No parking 4 boats

Crowded but fun

by gabrielahl at Citysearch

If you love beer, this is the place for you. You have to be willing to wait though, for seating, for your food, and to use the restroom. It gets seriously crowded almost every night of the week at this place. Not the place for an intimate conversation.

• Pros: trendy, great beer variety, fun
• Cons: crowded, bathroom wait, seating wait

so many choices

by jaye_shaw at Citysearch

I thought my head would spin. I could become an alcoholic if I didn't live so far from this place. Some of the beers are expensive, imports obviously. I'm hoping to advance one day to a yard. Service is pretty good.

• Cons: Parking
