| - I enjoy this place simply for the bustling atmosphere. The vibe is usually a positive one and I admit I always have a pretty decent time here. However, I went recently after the second portion of the restaurant opened and it was a clusterfuck. I don't think anyone who works there anticipated the size of the crowd with 2 restaurants operating. Everything was extremely slow, people seemed cranky, the food was not very staggered and took ages to arrive and the wait was 2 HOURS to even be seated. It was painfully obvious they weren't prepared for that amount of people.
After spending something like 3 hours waiting and finally eating, we ventured over to the game area. This was pointless. Way too many people were playing and being extremely selfish. Rather than playing a few games of cornhole and relinquishing the bags to someone who was waiting, people would play like 14 games. Dude, seriously. Don't be a dick. There needs to be a rule that says that: "Play and have fun! But don't be a selfish dick." Eventually, around 30 minutes before closing, we got to play ping pong. Hurray? And that brings me to another point - why are you closing at midnight? I understand having the kitchen close at that time, that's not unusual. But the entire bar? It's bizarre.
Luckily the crowd I was with is a blast and kept each other occupied while we stood waiting our turn to play one of the games. We ventured over to Pomeroy's afterwards. That place is probably thanking its lucky stars The Yard opened.
Bottom line is: If you go here on the weekend ANY time of the day, it's a long wait and so crowded it's almost not enjoyable. It was better before the second spot opened. I dunno if I'll go back, there's a lot of options in this area where I don't need to spend 5 hours waiting and eating. Little Woody's is a much better option for games and Vovomeena kills it for breakfast. And I can actually park.
