What a fun place! We sat outside on the picnic benches and ordered from a modified menu. We ordered the chicken wings and the soft pretzels with warm melted cheese dip. The wings were A plentiful nine and just crunchy enough in kind of a sweet spicy sauce that gave them a pop of flavor in your mouth. The pretzels were soft, round little balls of lightly salted pretzel wonderfulness that we dipped into the warm cheesy goo like a fondue. Who needs dinner? We ordered another round of the wings! Service was fabulous. Our server was attentive and our food arrived promptly. She checked in appropriately to refill our drinks and was patient as we pondered our order of appetizers. The place was packed to the gills and we used the valet parking. A convenient amenity. Great place for a group of friends to gather and enjoy a relaxing evening with a full bar and great appetizers. read more

The service was very good .. young girls with cheery attitudes. The food was pretty good but a little pricey for a common standard menu which was comparable to other restaurant joints with the same ambiance & culinary flavors . There is valet parking .. but why? It's free but not necessary for this joint . read more

Unique concept! I really like it by the layout is a little confusing. PIng pong tables, picnic tables, reserved areas, bar area, free for all areas, and just a cluster. You must valet or good luck and find a place to park within a 1 mile of this place. We got our names on the list for a 45 min wait. Straight to the bar! Hardly a spot to get to the bar to order. One of us got to the bar and ordered for everyone. Grab our drinks and found a free for all area to crash. Ordered the soft pretzels & provolone fondue app. SO SO SO SO GOOD. It was very loud too. Almost felt like I needed to text my friends to communicate with them. Finally got in for the table. It was right next the kitchen. Awesome! But within 10 mins of sitting at the table the live band started to play. They were good but SO LOUD. Impossible to carry a conversation at all. I ordered the fried chicken (3 pieces of perfectly fried chicken with honey lightly drizzled on top, a freaking awesome biscuit, and a tiny scope of mash potatoes. But the servers were great! Boiled down to: FOOD 5 stars; concept 5 star; & 1 stars for enjoying the company of your fellow eaters. Felt like I ordered food and was like eating by myself at a concert. WHAT? HOW IS YOUR FOOD? WHAT? Our conversions! read more

My daughter and son-in-law was here from out of town wanted to take them to a nice and fun place to go have dinner. Decided on the Yard. As soon as we got there we was warmly greeted in got our table quickly.. Summer was excellent on hosting us. And the food was fantastic!! Thank you for a wonderful experience read more

Service is Gets a D! LUNCH TIME NO BUSY AT ALL and service was slow! Very limited menu!!! The worse part was entering the bathroom with my little girl, to find two men there washing their hands and chatting....we had to leave since there was no way to do what i had to do for my girl with two men there!!!! This place is not nice at all!!! read more

It is always a nice spot to go and hang out with friends. The food is good, wish there was a bit more variety however the food on there is good... The music in the evening, lighting and the outdoor space is cute! read more

Service at the bar was horrible. Sat there for 20 minutes when it wasn't busy yet (awaiting the World Cup USA-England kickoff). Had to flag someone down. Studiously ignored. Ordered food -- never showed up. They could have had a much bigger check but-- servers clearly can't handle much. read more

Don't interview with them unless you are in your 20's! Age discrimination is real! I should have told them that I was a former Tri Delta! I was inquiring if they were hiring for a dishwasher position not Miss America! read more

Love the atmosphere, but so understaffed and slow. However, most annoying was the actual dishes! I don't need huge portions but don't charge me $30 for steak frites and give me a sauce cup of soggy and fries and a 6oz steak. That's straight BS and wife's minimal salad was also 19 for ridiculously minimal dish (hence she even finished it!). Guess it sums up our current environment...charge more, shrink portions, and provide marginal service. read more

Popped in yesterday with a large group (we had time to kill between our friend's wedding and reception) and we had a great time! We were easily able to find a large lounge section for all of us to sit at and the boys were happy with all of the TV's (had to watch the SCC Championship). The highlights: Pretzels and Cheese Fondue- omg. So good and the orders are huge. Pierogis- YUM Kale Salad- so good and HUGE. La Vida Verde cocktail- holy crap. This is the best drink I have had in a long time. Our table kept ordering round after round! read more

I love it there. It was a bit crowded Wednesday but the food, drinks and service was great! It was a 1st date night for me and we had an amazing time. read more

I loved the atmosphere it has this type of eclectic, hipster vibe that I really liked. Drinks and food was really good and the server was very helpful and easy to talk to regarding things to do around and places to go. There have some games like ping pong tables and others; we were just leaving when a band was installing to play live so we didn't get a chance to enjoy that but it's definitely a nice place to spend the night read more

Meh, not impressed at all, and it's very expensive. Some of the food items are really good, others just alright. I had one of their most expensive meals and found the beef quality just ok, with way way way too much sugar in the sauce. The deli meats and cheeses are ordered by item so you can get what you want exactly, and they are top quality. The pretzel fondue was excellent. Service was very good and friendly. The atmosphere is kind of cool, but the metal chairs are simply horrible to sit on. I guess that's how they keep you from hanging around too long after your meal. It's also hipster central, so you can at least have some amusement people-watching. Oh yeah, and the entire parking lot was blocked off for valet parking. I don't want to deal with a valet line, or even really want to give the car to a valet. The only other option is very limited street parking because most of it is resident-only parking. We can't think of any reason to come back. read more

Currently management is on point. Enjoyed the last 5 or so visits greatly. Great service, food, and drinks. Big shout out to MK, very professional and on point with all aspects of service. read more

The outdoor seating, staff, food and ambulance is all really cool. Great place to hang out with friends , watch games, and play games. Every time I come here I have such a great time! read more

The Yard - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The Yard is one of our go to spots for food in the area. They have a huge tented area for eating. The resturant is pretty casual and there often baby showers, birthday dinners, etc. going on here. The food is always good! They have the best warm pretzel bites with cheese! It can get really busy on weekends and often has a wait during peak times. read more

One of the most fun places to hang out and socialize. They have 5 bags board and numerous ping pong tables. Plenty of things to do to keep you busy. All outside with little fire pits to keep you warm, they also have plenty of picnic tables. The $2 brown bag special is fun, but they have sooo many craft beers as well. read more

The Yard - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Was here a couple of days ago with my team at work for a Christmas dinner. After we had our meal at Culinary Dropout, we went over to The Yard. It's a large outdoor space (covered) with ping pong tables and other games. Our Team Leader is a regular there and likes to play Ping Pong so we played a few games amongst each other. The place offers rackets and balls that you can get by presenting your ID. The place is nice and spacious. It's not limited to a particular crowd. Families with kids show up there on weekends, as I was told. It seems like a really fun place to be at any day of the week. It was buzzing even on a Tuesday afternoon! If you live in Phoenix or close, head over there with friends and try it out! read more

I like the outdoor game and lounge area. The bbq nachos are not a favorite because they don't layer the ingredients and it's all just on the top. It's a fun place for everyone that enjoys. read more

We hosted a large group of coworkers here for dinner and I was a little nervous about how the quality of food was going to be (family style); however, it was AMAZING!! We had a few different salads, house chips, PRETZELS & CHEESE (omg), ribs, mash potatoes, fried chicken and biscuits. ALL OF IT WAS AMAZING!! Service was fantastic, even for having a large group.....MK was one of our servers and she was outstanding. Highly recommend for a fun, laid back environment!! We had a blast and will totally return!! read more

Waited over 20 min for drinks for 4 and place wasn't even busy. Bloody Mary didn't have anything to it (including alcohol). Food nothing to come back for. read more

I'm excited anytime I get to go to the Yard! It's a huge indoor/outdoor restaurant with lots of space & cool decor. Great for all kinds of occasions! The patio has fun seating like couches & lawn chairs. They have games like ping pong & bags. & the food is really good! Two of my favorite dishes are actually appetizers or "Shares" as they call them - the Soft Pretzels & Provolone Fondue, & the BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos. Seriously, to die! & all the staff from the hostesses to the waiters & even to the valet are always upbeat & attentive! They'll make you feel welcome & taken care of but not rushed! I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

One of my favorite places to come and enjoy great drinks , & some good live music on the weekends with friends. Highly recommend this place to anyone that has not been before , I love that they have multiple games in the yard as well. Great ambiance overall! Here I had some antipasti plates: Crusty bread with garlic oil & balsamic, some Korean style Brussels sprouts . & a plate of hummus! And some "copper-less mules" read more

The Yard - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Well, the place is cool and gotta love some bocce ball with good friends. Super big place and love the outdoor lounge seating around fire pits too. Decent wine selection and a great happy hour menu from 3-6p with some yummy snacks like the pulled pork nacho place and pretzel bites with fondue. Dinner food has some opportunity - steak overcooked, salads a little heavy on dressing. But for appetizers and activity and some socialization, it's worth the visit. read more

WTH??? I usually like The Yard. They HAD favorite beer, Blue Paddle. Not everyone likes every beer on draught to be an IPA....so I picked another lager. But then the cheese plate came out. My friend asked if half of it fell off? We asked if bread was coming out. Nope, would like to order a side of bread too. I posted a picture of my cheese plate. read more

The Yard - Really????? This is your $6 cheese plate? - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Nice place to eat. Enjoy the surroundings and entertainment that Westgate has to offer

They kicked me out for having Tourette's. Will be suing. This is unacceptable in 2022. Also, the $3 mystery beer was Natural Light lemonade & the manager accused me of bringing it in on my own without even bothering to ask the bartender. This place is owned by the Cheesecake Factory. read more

10/10 go here just for my boy Monroe was a great server and treated us amazing for my 21st !

Food here is spot on.. area can get crowded on the weekend, and they won't seat you without half of your party present. Minus a star because we requested an outside table, but over half the party was running behind, so they were trying to seat us inside. We opted for self-seating, but it requires ordering at the bar, and there is a limited food menu there. However, what was most important to me was delivery of the fried chicken entree- three pieces of straight southern friend awesomeness, glazed in a honey sauce. Doesn't hurt it came with a honey-glazed biscuit, mashed potatoes with gravy and slaw. It's the closest plate to what I'm use to in MS that I've seen in my 7 years in AZ. Go for it! Also a huge fan of their pretzel with cheese platter, bacon burger and turkey with pastrami sandwich. read more

Saw the reviews, and figured this place was can't miss. Great spot to hang out for drinks, but off the beaten path and meh food. Reread the reviews, and more of the 4 stars are just about drinks. If that's all you want then maybe it's better than 2 stars. Literally dozens of more convenient places to go that are better in all aspects. read more

This place ruined my 24th anniversary. We made a reservation for 6pm. Arrived early at 5pm. Was told there was no table available and to wait at bar and they would text me when the table was available. Sat at the bar and there were lots of tables available. While waiting at the bar a couple came and ordered a drink and then were sat at a table within 5 minutes. At 600pm we left without eating, receiving a text , or getting a table. I'm not sure why we were treated this. Maybe they are racist I left a review here last night, and it didn't post read more

Tried it, overrun by kids. Like bean bags knocking over drinks. If you look, it is listed as a bar, meaning adults and drinking. But there were at least a hundred wild children running around dominating the games while moms and dads got sloshed at their tables. If you do go, make it later at night to avoid the playground environment. And do not sit by the corn hole or ping pong or you will be picking balls and bags out of your drinks. Ewww, that sounded gross!!! I may or may not give this another try after 9 pm when the children are nestled all snug in their beds... read more

The Yard - Children everywhere - Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is awesome! I don't get why the reviews are so low. They have live music, multiple restaurants, cocktails, and space for 4 corn hole games, a foozball table, shuffleboard, 4 ping pong tables and a ping pong area + free photo "booth" thing where you can e-mail yourself photos. The live band I saw today was Vinyl Station & they played some awesome cover songs (Beatles, the Black Keys, Cold Play, Oasis, etc.). We tried food & cocktails @ Culinary Dropout and thought the food and service were great! No complaints. Valet parking is complimentary & there is plenty of space for large groups of friends. This is a perfect spot to have some good quality fun! read more

I thought it wasn't all that. The food is seasoned in their own unique way, and that's a hit or miss. The environment was loud and we were seated right at the open kitchen. The service was ok. read more

We were a party of 6 who showed up at 5:00, got around to ordering food around 6:30 after a couple rounds of drinks and due to how busy they were. Host up front came to us and said we have a two hour limit??? Ahhh what??? Got our food and the host came a second time!!! Again telling us we need to leave!! Terrible service, rude people and would not recommend for a party more that 2. Tried to honor a veteran on Memorial Day weekend and got disrespected. Can't believe the disrespect read more

From what i can tell, The Yard is the part complex under the VERY large shade structure once housing a motorcycle sales floor. It has upscale seating area with a garden party feel next to a playground area with corn hole, ping pong, shuffle board and a foosball table. It will be a great place to share a few drinks with friends or make a destination for a day's bike ride. It looks to be eventually the shared open space for a collection of Sam Fox restaurants. Currently, there is only Culinary Dropout. But, we were told an oyster bar was coming soon. It also has a unique restroom layout that may throw you when you first enter. It is a welcome addition to uptown Phoenix. read more

As far as the food goes - it's overpriced and not notably delicious. The only thing I would order again is the soft pretzel fondue appetizer. Everything else I tried or that my friends ordered was only mediocre, or less than mediocre. I ordered the shrimp caesar kale salad and was pretty disappointed. The salad itself was fine (although too much dressing) but the shrimp was those tiny popcorn breaded and fried shrimp (96% breading and 4% shrimp)- not what I expected in a salad. I would've much preferred a few normal-sized grilled shrimp, especially if I'm paying $13. My friends ordered various antipasti, none of which seemed impressive. One of my friends ordered the sweet corn cannelloni which she didn't even finish because it was too sweet and the corn wasn't cooked enough. The reason I am giving this place 3 stars instead of 2 is because the vibe is really cool. I like the little stage they have for live music and I think the "yard" is awesome with all the different games to play. I'd be back to have a drink, order that fondue appetizer, and play games, but NOT for dinner. read more

If you went here when it wasn't packed, I might have a different opinion. #1, I don't like to fight to find parking. There are too many other establishments that offer ample parking. #2, I do not like to scrounge to find a seat. This is a "Yuppy" hang out and screams "look at me, I'm here too!" The drinks are fine and the food is your average mix. There are many outdoor things like Corn Hole to partake in.The staff are friendly and quite efficient. The noise level is high and depending on where you are sitting, it can be difficult to converse. I'll give it a shot at another point when it is not the weekend or a Friday night. They do offer Valet Parking, so that you don't have to walk 3/4's of a mile from your car. You form your own opinion. It could be that you like riding the subway in New York or standing in a jammed packed elevator too. #vino2 #vinosquared #vino2ultimate read more
