Yard House - Las Vegas (The LINQ)

Huge restaurant and bar, at the far end of the LINQ Promenade. Remarkably quiet and chill, which was a balm after walking the strip for a while. Big, industrial-looking tap island, with an absurd number of taps. The bartenders were quick, very friendly, and knew the beers. While the taps seem to go on and on, I quickly realized that they have all of the standard macros, and some of them on two taps, which is kinda sad. They've got good representation of local breweries, but most are from the big national and regional brands. The prices are high, as you'd expect for the location, but given that it's a bar on (or at least very near to) the strip, the prices are pretty fair. $7-9 for a pint of anything non-swill, and my flight of 6 local beers was $10.50. The food I had wasn't anything special, but it was good enough. This is a great location, if you can't escape the strip. Worth a nice, long visit.

Visited 29/6/2018. Situated a couple of minutes walk off the strip, definitely one to check out. Large interior dominated by a big rectangular bar with 146 available taps on this visit. Flights available, with a 4 beer flight typically starting at $9 but more if choices made are more expensive. Choice is large though perhaps lacks top end quality beers. Across 3 flights grabbed myself 9 new breweries plus a few more local beers. Service was attentive, though place wasn't that busy mid Friday afternoon. Food I had was a really tasty jambalaya. Good visit, and quite appreciated its relative calmness compared to everything else around.

Went with my family on vacation and was seated upstairs overlooking the HIgh Roller Ferris Wheel. The place was very busy but our server was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. The selection was excellent with well over 100 beers on tap. If you like flights you can pick from 3 preselected flights of 6 or pick your own flight of 4. The price was reasonable compared to other places in Vegas. The food was great and they had a decent kids menu. We will be back.

Not much difference between these chain operations, but always a good spot to check on on the local brew scene. Short pours is a nice feature. 145 taps at this location. Near the Strip and monorail.

Located in the Linq Promenade, near the high roller wheel (LV Eye). Patio outside and seating upstairs or in the bar area. Nice big tap list worth plenty of local stuff. One of the better Yard Houses I’ve been too.

(Visited 09/2015): This Yard House location is attached to the Linq hotel on the Strip (Las Vegas Blvd), so parking in that garage is the best bet.

There is both a downstairs and upstairs patio outside with tables that offer a view of the ferris wheel. Inside is laid out similar to other locations of this chain. Dark wood, art on the walls and a circular bar in the center with taps all the way around.

. In terms of beer, there are well over 100 taps at Yard House with a lot of common craft breweries and macros but as with other locations there are some regional and local breweries represented like Ninkasi, Firestone Walker, Joseph James, Bad Beat, CraftHaus and Tenaya Creek. Flights are available. A few bottles too but nothing very noteworthy.

Service on a relatively slow weekday lunch on the patio was good. The server was efficient and knowledgeable about the beers.

Food at Yard House is consistently pretty good. Our group all enjoyed the appetizers and sandwiches we picked.

Overall Yard House is usually a pretty safe bet as far as chains go, with several good beer options and a nice food menu. Especially in the wasteland of the Strip it is worth checking out.

One of the better Yardhouse locations...primarily due to their location on the Linq restaurant and entertainment street and right across from the giant Linq Ferris wheel. Note that I’ve been to many Yardhouse’s and I’m not really a fan. World of Beer does the corporate mega draft line thing so much better. My biggest pet peeve here is that with up to 150 drafts (depending on the location) YH’s flights are pre-chosen except for one beer per flight. Whereas WOB allows any combination you want. I have no problem with "recommended" flights for those that need the assistance...but required flights really defeats the point of going to a mega-draft place for me. Being Vegas though...this is a good centrally located choice on the strip that I often found myself stopping at...even if only for a pint of two. They are convenient for appetizers too...but there are so many better Vegas choices for any serious meals.

Outside there is a bar serving beer in plastic glass from 20 tap. I had their House IPA brewed by Uinta, standing by the bar watching people passing by in the shopping street. The inside bar and restaurant is huge. The bar is like and big oval island offering 145 draught beers. Nothing rare and extreme but for sure a wide range of breweries and styles. The place was very busy but I had no problem finding a seat at the bar. Finding a table was worse. Of course, you can’t see all the taps from where you are seated, but there is an informative beer menu available. The fixed flights didn’t suit me. All beers are available as 9 oz. The glass is called "Shorthys" I tried beers from Bad Beat, Uinta, Sea Dog, Ommegang and Abita. Service was polite. Be aware, on a hot summer day it’s cold sitting inside. Only wearing a t-shirt and air-conditioning can be a freezing combination.
