| - Dear Yard House,
I don't like you. Let me clarify; you charge a ridiculous amount of money for beer. Just so we are all clear, I am only reviewing their bar and beer. I did not get the opportunity to dine with the Yard House, and I have a feeling that I won't be going back to do so. I guess I am lucky enough to come from a town that had several true beer houses; beers came from all over the world and you were charged a reasonable price for them. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the Yard House. I visited the Yard House in Glendale, right next to the Cardinals and Coyotes stadium, and I felt like I was being charged stadium prices. This area looks great for pre and post game activities but I couldn't imagine going there just to "hang out" with friends.
I will give you this - they DO have a great beer selection, if you only want North American beers. The majority of their menu is all North American beers, even their ciders. I'm not a cider drinker but if you do have cider on your list then you always have Strongbow, not at the Yard House. My beer of choice is Bass. Granted Bass is an imported beer and I am willing to pay a hefty $5.50 in most places to enjoy my most favorite of beverages. Yard House thinks they should charge you $6.25. 3 beers = almost $20; that's a little too close to stadium prices if you ask me. Also, these are draft beers that we are talking about - that means the beer should be cheaper than what I would pay if they were in a bottle. From what I could tell, they only had 4 bottles on the menu.
I had high expectations for you Yard House, but now I see you for what you truly are: just another corporate machine charging high prices for that new niche market of micro brews and exotic beers. Now, leave the money on the table and leave.
