We always have a great time at Yard House, especially with their super fun half yard-sized beers. Their menu has just about everything on it from burgers to poke salad, and it all tastes great. The wings are decent, but our favorite app is the brussel sprouts. It can get a little loud being a sports bar, but other than that I don't think it's possible to have a bad time here

A fantastic restaurant downtown with a lively atmosphere and fantastic service! The food is always great and the drinks expertly crafted. The chicken tenders, sliders, and Cobb salad are my go to's here along with Old Fashioned's.

There was a bit of a wait when we arrived, but with homecoming going on and the Mariners game playing on the TVs, it was completely understandable. Once we were seated, we were greeted by Nile, who was friendly, funny, and really knew the menu well enough to help answer any questions we had. We shared a few laughs with her throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy and surprisingly romantic, especially considering how many TVs were around. We were seated in a great spot, quiet enough to talk comfortably but close enough for me to catch glimpses of the game. We started with the firecracker shrimp, which came with a rice cake on the bottom, something I'd never tried before but really enjoyed. My wife went with the Shiitake garlic noodles, and I ordered the Nashville hot chicken. Both were delicious, though I would've liked mine a little spicier. It would have been nice if they offered different heat levels. Overall, we had a great time. The food was solid, the vibe was perfect, and Nile's great service really stood out. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

Oreo brookie

Stopped by Yardhouse on 4th Ave in Seattle for my birthday, and it was such a great pick. We tried a couple local beers, which were really good. For food, my partner had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with house fries, and I went for the Nashville hot chicken and sweet potato pancakes - they both were absolutely delicious. The pancakes had a hint of cinnamon, the Nashville hot chicken was juicy, and the honey hot sauce with pickles and ranch was great. The best part was when our bar server noticed it was my birthday when she checked for our IDs and surprised me with an Oreo brookie with vanilla icecream at the end of our meal. It came with a candle and happy birthday written on the plate. That definitely was a sweet touch and really made my day. This was my third time at Yardhouse, and it's consistently been a fun spot with great food and drinks. We didn't have a reservation and were able to sit at the bar quickly, which was super convenient. If you're celebrating something or just want a casual spot with friends or family, I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

Came here on an annual weekend trip for week 3 of the Seahawks game. Love how Seattle has so many great places to eat and drink. Both franchised, local mom and pop shops etc. my group stayed at a hotel nearby, and yelped some spots for lunch, not realizing that as many times as I've stayed downtown; never noticed the Yard House on 4th street. Great location and close to our hotel as well as Pike's place market. Upon entrance we were greeted and seated right away. Huge round signature bar like all the other Yard Houses I've been to. Great vibes and prompt service. We did a couple rounds of beers with our food. Everyone ordered something different and all of us were satisfied with the quality. I ordered their BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries and it didn't disappoint. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here in the future!

Old 43
Simran M.

Its been years since I worked dt & visited the Yard House! Coming in during a football Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, the mood was festive & spirited, to say the least. However just like I remember - busy vibe, make a reservation (or if you walk in, you may need to wait awhile but it goes quickly!) We sat in the bar area and even though we were in an intimate setting, watching the game while catching up was an ease. We came just for drinks, which were the sangria and the old 43 - both drinks, we couldn't complain. Our server was attentive and checked on us often despite the busy vibe of the place, which was surprising yet well received:)

Cobb Salad with Blackened Chicken.
Will B.

The restaurant offers a wide range of dishes, drawing inspiration from American cuisine with fusion elements. This is my second time visiting The Yard House 1501 4th Ave, Seattle,Wa 98101. I find this location to be lively and welcoming. It has a nice vibe with friendly staff. To start off with apps, we ordered the Poke Nachos, didn't know that was a thing, I have to say that they were amazing. Comes with marinated raw ahi, crispy wontons, avocado, serranos, white truffle sauce, sweet soy ginger sauce, sriracha aïoli, cilantro, green onions, nori, and sesame seeds. The small plates brought to the table had what appeared to be pieces of avocado on them, I asked the gentleman who brought out the food if he could replace them. He chose to try sort through them it find a clean one. All three had stuff on them. I had to inform him that they are all dirty and to please replace them. I ordered the Cobb Salad, our server asked if I'd like a protein, of my two options of chicken, I chose the Blackened chicken. I recommend that you don't, the piece I was served was of ample size, yay. The down side was that it was inedible, one bit of and I knew I couldn't eat it. It tasted burnt, was dry and clearly was prepared in advance. I informed Jesse how bad it was and he made all the efforts to rectify the issue, he removed it from the bill. The rest of the meal and service was fine, I found that the section we were seated to be very dark, loud and slightly cramped. The folks leaving their booth were right upon me, I was bumped, grazed as they were passing to exit. If the place was packed I could understand. Overall, I had a good time at Yard House, its location is prime for a sit down meal or drink. Perfect for folks doing the tourist attractions. It's a couple of minutes walk to Pike Place Market.

Mediterranean salmon. Not the best, not the worst...
Brian G.

Very loud and extremely packed. The atmosphere was one of controlled chaos. Food was okay, service was perfunctory and brusque bordering on rude. They have an impressive beer collection and decent appetizers. Pretty average dining experience.

Interior goes back a ways
Michael W.

First time visit. Heading to an event at Paramount Theater. Waiter was fun and engaging and gave us some excellent recommendations for appetizers. I highly recommend the Chicken Nachos! I had. House Hazy IPA which was excellent. Another table member had a Peach Cider which was sweet, bubbly and very good. I love the bar with at least 30+taps(?) so plenty of choices to go around. I highly recommend Yard House. Great food, drinks and awesome ambience (it is louder than average for sure)!

Nachos
Sonia S.

Came here with a friend for cocktails and nachos. They have a good bar menu with plenty of drinks to choose from. I love the nachos because they are pretty big with a good variation of toppings. You could easily feed 2-4 people without the need for other food. The service however, is lacking. Pretty slow and inattentive. After finishing our food and drinks we paid on the kiosk at the table and left. Ambiance is kind of like a big sports bar. Dark, lots of TV's. Good place to watch sports. I would come back...but just don't expect great service.

Kids Cheese Pizza with fries
Abby C.

First time here. The menu has a good variety. We had a party of 13 so we called ahead to reserve a table, glad we did. The beer menu is great and the service was good. My only issues was I asked for no beans with the tacos I ordered and I got beans. Sports bar atmosphere, can get loud but wasn't too bad

Gardein Orange Chicken
Kirtana N.

Yard house was a fun experience and the food was pretty good. They had a lot of vegetarian and vegan options which was nice and they flavored the dishes well. The location is great and the environment was lively but the food was a bit pricey for the portion sizes. The service was friendly and overall the experience was good but would be a lot better if the portion sizes were a tad bigger for the price.

We are happy to find consistent vegetarian options and good beer selection here. Not a unique local option but reliably safe and good food.

Ask the Community - Yard House

Do they have the game audio on for Seahawks games?

Yes, but the crowd makes it unintelligible

Is this 21+ only?

No. They have a kids menu on their website

Is dog allowed here?

Doubtful, as I've never seen one in here. This is a higher end place that gets VERY crowded after work. You can call and ask... Even if they did allow though, it would be unwise to take them here unless you like risking your dog's well being.

From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere captures you: modern décor, intimate lighting, and a warm vibe that feels both upscale and inviting. Everything is immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience. If you're a bourbon lover, this place is paradise. Their collection is incredible, but what truly sets them apart is the service. The Bourbon Curators, Ms. Hannah and Mr. Tommy, along with our amazing waitress Ms. Sassy, make you feel like a VIP from start to finish. They welcome you with open arms and create a personalized bourbon journey -- teaching you about flavor profiles, history, and how to discover different palettes you never knew you had. It's not just a drink menu... it's an experience. And the food? Michelin-worthy. We shared the Autumn Chicory Salad and the homemade Autumn Mushroom Pasta -- both beautifully crafted, rich in flavor, and perfectly paired with the bourbon experience. Every bite showed off the kitchen's talent and passion. We were actually recommended this restaurant by strangers we met at the Seattle Space Needle -- and wow, did they steer us right. The Ballard's Cut surpassed every expectation. If you love bourbon, phenomenal food, and top-tier service from people who treat you like family, then this is the place. Do not miss it.

I genuinely don't know what to do with that explanation. The food took so long. I ordered my steak medium rare and it arrived overcooked. I thought this was a steakhouse and yall can't even cook a steak medium rare? One person in our party never received their salad despite asking multiple times. Their stupid steak dish is $50 entree with zero sides. I added cauliflower for an extra $17 charge and received something I could have made in five minutes. Finally, we tried to order dessert and were told they were out of the item we all wanted. This place is a ripoff with terrible service.

Type of cuisine: "We never tire of talking to our guests about how we got our quirky name. Inspired by two British drinking terms, Brimmer & Heeltap seeks to celebrate the moments that exist between the first sip of one's libation and the last drops lingering at the bottom of the glass. Since late 2013 we've delighted in creating an environment that is inviting, lively, and comforting. A sense of playfulness is present in everything we do, from the inventive dishes our culinary team prepares, to the friendly, genuine hospitality we provide. We're a bistro that takes pride in being a neighborhood place - the kind you can escape to at day's end for a delicious meal shared among friends." Ambiance: "Located in the former Le Gourmand space in beautiful Ballard, Brimmer & Heeltap offers an intimate, cozy atmosphere complete with an open kitchen, full bar, and multiple sections to drink and dine in. Our garden patio is one of the best-kept secrets in the city, offering a dreamy place to dine outdoors during Seattle's spring and summer months. We also have a tucked-away back studio that offers the perfect setting for special, private gatherings year-round. Just how many pennies does it take to cover a floor? Just ask Brimmer & Heeltap's proprietress Jen who collected tens of thousands of them from family, friends, and the community to help execute the vision of a cool gathering placed dubbed, naturally, the "Penny Room." This dining room, beloved for both its wall of menus and its shining penny floor, is a favorite place to break bread with loved ones, and plays into the restaurant's blend of nostalgic and contemporary design. The restaurant was designed in collaboration with Sean Sifagaloa of KRFTWRK and local builder Mike Marian, owner of Marian Built. Light, texture, metal, wood, and floral elements are all at play here. This historic building possesses a playful, familiar charm that we wanted to preserve in its latest incarnation." What I ordered: Wishing to sample a little of everything, we were served, family style, two orders of Bread ($9 each) - buttered with salt and pepper; Fritto Misto ($12) - assorted, lightly fried and pickled vegetables with tarragon aioli; Smashed Burrata ($19) - snap peas, preserved lemon, mint, basil, sherry reduction; Carrot & Tahini Dip ($16) - caramelized garlic, feta, pistachio, crudite; two orders of Heirloom Tomatoes ($21 each) - melon, chevre, crispy quino, soft herbs; Crispy Potatoes ($16) - whipped feta, hot honey, mint; Mushroom Agnolotti ($34) - roasted maitakes, chanterelles, whipped ricotta, miso butter, thyme; Roast Chicken ($42) - chickpea, berbere yogurt, marinated cucumber, mint gremolata. To finish off our meals, we shared the Olive Oil Cake ($14) - basil yogurt cremeux, strawberry gel, and the Chocolate Tiramisu ($16) - mascarpone, rum, amaretto, candied hazelnuts. What I loved: Oh man, every dish was delightful. I found something to savor and repeat in each of the dishes we were served. From the sweetness of the heirloom tomatoes, to the creamy burrata, from the crispy potatoes, to the fresh peas and everything in between. Our least favorite, at the table was the mushroom Angnolotti, inconsistent from bite to bite. The presentation of the Carrot & Tahini dip was a bit haphazard compared to the rest of the dishes served, but the flavor was still lovely. Why I loved it: The service was unparalleled, comfortable yet professional and quick to offer recommendations for our larger party. The decorations and quaint spaces truly welcoming, and the food, excellent. Cost: High ($40+ per person)
