In our family, a trip to Las Vegas includes a visit to the Yard House. A popular. boisterous eating and drinking establishment offering 138 beers on tap, a variety of specialty drinks and house martinis, and a decent selection of wine from the west coast, South America and New Zealand. The food menu offers something for everyone. Located in the trendy Towne Square, a few miles from the strip, the Yard House is always busy. We chose to go for an early dinner on a Friday night to take advantage of happy hour prices and to get a table without waiting. Accompanying my husband and me, were our son, his wife and their two young children. We tend to be a loud and happy crew so we fit right in at the Yard House. Although we prefer frequenting independent establishments, this is one chain, we really like.
What’s fun: The atmosphere at the Yard House is loud and lively with rock music, big screen TVs featuring a variety of sporting events and large tables of folks having a good time. The long bar spans the center of the restaurant and is surrounded with the numerous beer taps. There is outside dining that may be more appealing to anyone wanting to have a quiet conversation. The name, the Yard House, comes from the tall (actually half a yard) glasses that hold 32 ounces of beer and are a great gimmick for the very thirsty patron. I love the menu which separates beers into categories. The Ales are broken down in groupings such as Blond, Honey, Pub Cream Ales, Belgian Fruit, White Ales and more. The menu also features a Lager section and even Anomalies which include cider and seasonal beers. It makes the selection process a little easier No one in our party chose to drink wine or cocktails on this visit, so guess we’ll have to return and sample those next time. Lucky us.
The freshly baked chocolate brownie. Perfect sampler for four adults and one child! |
