| - I went there on a Monday evening. They were not too crowded, in fact this was the slowest I have seen the place. I have already reviewed Culinary Dropout and the food is the same for The Yard. By the way, the seafood place, Little Cleo's was doing pretty well. Anyway, I met my friends from Tyler, Texas and their 2 kids. They were real happy to find a place that serves adult beverages and has stuff for the kids to do. They were so slow that nobody else was using the ping pong tables. I never even tried before to play because of the crowds. I will admit that two times they were so crowded that I just ended up leaving, but that's not their fault. I love their seating areas with the green couches. It was not really too hot with the misters and they had a couple of industrial sized evap coolers to help out.
We only had the pretzel bread with the fondu which was as wonderful as ever. I have to say I like the beer selection. They were out of my Prohibition lager though but I tried the Goose Head Belgium style beer and it was very good. Then I tried the Hefeweizen, from Oak Creek in Sedona, which was also very good. One thing I don't get though. They have this wonderful brown ale in Little Cleo's that they don't carry at the Yard! I wanted to go in there to have my brown ale while I was waiting for my friends and was not allowed because the "guard" at the door said It was only for diners. By the way, the bar area was open, which I pointed out, but the "guard corrected me, telling me that was not a bar area! They turned me away even though there was not one person at the counter. So I didn't get my brown ale:( Anyway, this is about The Yard. But, like I said, The Yard has plenty of good beers to be had.
