History

Established in 1996.

When the craft beer revolution started 21 years ago, Yard House had a vision - to create the largest draft beer system in the world. We took our experience with brews and breweries and coupled it with a kitchen that creates culinary innovations to be enjoyed in an energetic atmosphere. The restaurant's name was derived from an early Colonial tradition of serving 36-inch tall glasses - or yards - to weary stagecoach drivers. The age-old custom was a popular tradition in the early days of Yard House as guests drank beer from the signature three-foot glass vessel. Today, guests can sip their favorites from the half yard, pint glass, 23-ounce nonic glass and beer samplers. Equal to our passion for what's trending in beer is our interest in what's cropping up on today's innovative menus. Executive Chef Carlito Jocson is always developing new ways to fuse globally inspired flavors with favorite American dishes, giving our menu a worldly yet familiar feel.
