Yard House

Sports bar boasting the largest selection of beers on tap (400) in Merrick Zpark Village.


What we had:
I had the pineapple burger--medium to mid rare burger with diced pineapple, pepper jack cheese & a light teriyaki-based sauce on a potato roll--the burger was really good with clean flavors, good sweet to seasoning ratio and a great meat taste.

I had sample tastes of two beers as well ($1 each). Lost Coast Raspberry Brown was a good, light wheat, with a nice smell and pleasant fruit taste. Woodchuck Pear Cider is crisp, clean, and I couldn't taste the alcohol. Dangerous.

My DH had the French dip. The beef was good quality and the sandwich was nicely balanced.

He had the Highland Gaelic Ale--a well-balanced, smooth red and Jupiter Monk In The Trunk, which he liked, but I did not. this beer was really complex, and kinda hits you over the head with a hammer.


Décor:

Open, dark woods, lots of beers on tap, TVs.


Service:

Not bad. Our server was knowledgable about beers and enthusiastic.


Overall impressions:

A great place for lunch, happy hour apps, or any time you want to try a new beer.
