My friends and I attended the grand opening last night after receiving a few VIP invites. We had a great time. The appetizers were delicious, the drinks were tasty, and the staff was friendly. There is plenty of room to sit and relax with your friends much like you would in your back yard (if your backyard had wait staff and bartenders). Also, there were many tables if you'd prefer to sit down and have a meal. There were plenty of games to play and televisions if you're into watching a game. I would recommend The Yard to anyone looking to have a fun night out with good food and attractive people, all while avoiding having to stand for hours and being overcrowded.
