The Yard

Highly recommend giving this place a try. It was a $10 charge to get in on a Saturday night. Not sure if that's the norm. Music was a vibe. There is a food truck inside. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The game options are endless! I love the concept. Good for anyone who enjoys a good game. Great for groups, dates, or just a fun night out. The staff are constantly coming around and cleaning tables or seeing if you need anything. I will definitely come back.

This place is such a fun time! They have a large variety of board games and card games that you can play for free. They play fun music as well.The drinks here are amazing! The only downside is that there is a $10 cover on Fridays and Saturdays which I think is silly. I also wish that there was more seating available near the games. Overall a fun spot for date night or with friends.

Pretty fun night out! There are so many games and places to sit. They really planned out the space well to get the most of it. The food and drinks were okay, but expensive. Although, you're also getting a lot of free entertainment so I'm fine with that.The only thing I don't like is if you can't park on that side of the street, Michigan Ave is VERY dangerous to cross. Especially if you've had a few drinks or it's dark outside. They really need a road diet and a crosswalk closer.

Excellent concept and space. This place is full of free games and activities for adults. It has 3 bars in food trucks inside. It's super spacious and has both indoor and outdoor seating. This place is excellent for date night, as it was a lot of love bugs there :). Great mixture of young and old, black and white. Chill and cool vibes.

This in the heart of Corktown is a place of fun in multiple ways: the bartenders can make a great gin cocktail, there is a great outdoor patio, and there is also a wall of board games. Just a drink today, no games.

Now the yard was dope! There's a lot in one small space when it comes to this establishment period You come in, and you will see 29 different things lol. Well not 29 but a lot. You come in and come up the wrap into the left you have a full bar. The boxing us gave us some really good conversation And I really enjoyed the vibe at the bar. But if you come in and go to the right, you'll see a wall of games. Not like a few shelves, the entire wall. So you will definitely have no problem finding some games to play for you and your party.You go a little deeper inside and now there's ax throwing. They have maybe about 6 to 10 lanes for acts throwing, and it actually stayed pretty active. Honestly I didn't go actuary when I went so I don't know what the prices are. But if you go opposite toward outside of the ax throwing, you see a big shiny Twinkie that's serving tacos and nachos and finger food and stuff like that. Everybody says that the tacos are good so just give them a try!Outside there's a huge yard, I guess that's why the name means something lol. But they have beer pong with the cups the size of garbage cans. And we did play that for quite a while, it was fun, a lot of fun. Also outside there's cornhole, which is a game staple, and behind there they're like cabanas to hang out in. The kind that you find at a beach party but clearly Detroit's not that but it was actually pretty cool to have a place to chill as well.All the way around, I would definitely recommend try and get out. If you have friends who like games, this is a spot for you!

There's lots to do here, from 2 walls of boardgames to choose from, to sand shuffleboard, to axe throwing and video games. The bar and wait staff was friendly and you can tell this is a pretty happening place when you walk in. If you're in the area and looking for a date spot with plenty of activities offering opportunity to show your competitive side, this is the place to be.

Cool chill place to hang out. But left irritated because every time my girl and I went to play on the shuffleboard game other people would walk up and cut us out. I recommend getting a chalk board and writing a name on it so everyone gets a fair turn.

It is a positive environment! Everybody wants to chill and have a good time with friends and family.

Amazing place - best atmosphere. I haven't been to a place that felt like this in a while. It's everything you want for a summer night or even a fall night. Great place to bring a big group or even just a date. Definitely will come again. Board games variety is incredible!Yard games is a huge win!Drinks and food are good!
