The Yard House is located around the corner from Fenway Park and Lansdowne. It is very dark with a very large oval bar in the middle rear, tables iscattered in the front, and booths around the wall. Lots of TVs around and a lcd list of Tap and Bottle specials. Service is adequate (bartender did not know specials (and offered beers that had been unavailable for a while according to another server)), mistakes were also made by our server who brought the wrong beer for one of us. They have 135 standard and 5 "specialty" taps. Selection is very good with all quality ranges. Specials only had one "rarity", but it was tasty. Food was good - plenty of vegetarian options and the sweet potato fries were excellent. It is a little pricey for what you get - beers were about a dollar or two more than expected and food was about five dollars more...Overall this is a nice addition to the area for the beer lover, and one that I will re-visit when in the area, but not worth a special trip.

It may be a chain, but the atmosphere and beer selection are great. All of the waiters truly know their beer, and love to help you out.

Yard House is a California-based chain of beer bars. Their schtick is that they sell beer by the shortie (a sample size), pint, or, in the event that you’re an idiot, the yard. They also have 100+ beers on tap. But as you know, quantity is not quality. There’s a bit of shit and some pretty common micros that you find everywhere. Still, there were a few nice locals on tap and the service was good. They also have a small but carefully selected bottle list consisting of about five usually somewhat rare beers. Not the first place I’d go to in Boston but worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Brought here with a friend before my first game at Fenway. The interior is spacious, like a warehouse, but aim to sit in their outdoor patio. They have a crazy amount of beers on draft and their food menu is extensive and not pricy. The place lacks Red Sox ambience, but it’s the perfect Fenway pre game spot for beer lovers

This Yard House had a much better Tap list then the Dedham location a few months back. It is an upscale corporate atmosphere. We eat only an appetizer. (Burger Sliders) And they were quite good. Can’t comment on other food however, everything that passed us, looked well enough. The bartender was polite and courteous, he really needed more help. We stopped after a Red Sox game and he was really running back and forth a lot. Trying to keep up with the number of people. Well, it was after a game. I did expect that. Real solid draft list. Nothing that is going to impress the serious beer geek but… at least you have a variety of styles. Again, really a step above the other Massachusetts location.
