Half-Time Happy Hour at Yard House

Yard House runs the most generous happy hour in upscale-casual dining: a discounted appetizer + drink menu twice a day, Monday through Friday — 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and again 9:00 PM to close. The deal lives in the bar and lounge (most stores don't honor it in the dining room). Holidays excluded. Pricing varies slightly by location.

What's discounted: a curated bar menu of about a dozen appetizers and shareables priced $5–$12 (a $3–$8 cut off the regular menu), select draft beers at $1–$3 off the regular pint price, house wines by the glass at around $7–$8, and select cocktails at $8–$10. The full Yard House food menu remains available at regular pricing during Happy Hour hours.

Why "Half-Time": the chain's bar-sports identity. The first window (3-6pm) catches the after-work crowd and pre-game pours; the second window (9pm-close) catches the late-night and post-game crowd. The result is the same restaurant being a happy-hour bar twice a day.

Exact end-times, item availability and specific discounts vary by location — confirm with your local Yard House before arrival.

The headline draft program

The 100+ tap beers at Yard House

Yard House was founded in 1996 on one core promise: more taps under one roof than any other American restaurant chain. Three decades on, that's still the differentiator. Every Yard House location pours 100+ drafts — national domestics, regional craft, IPAs, lagers, stouts, sours, ciders and rotating local-brewery seasonals.

Why 100+ taps

Steele Platt opened the first Yard House on the Long Beach waterfront in 1996. The plan was to recreate the variety of an English pub but at full-service American restaurant scale. The bar engineering required to run that many taps — chilled lines, glycol cooling, a sealed walk-in keg room — is so visually striking that several Yard House locations feature the keg room as a glassed-in centerpiece behind the bar.

Local + national rotation

About 20–30% of the tap list at any given Yard House is dedicated to local craft from breweries within driving distance of that store. Expect San Diego IPAs in California stores, New England-style hazies in the Northeast, and Hawaiian lagers in Honolulu. The other 70–80% of the list is a chain-wide standing rotation of nationals, imports and seasonals.

The Yard

The namesake "Yard" is a 3-foot-tall hourglass-shaped beer glass holding ~96 oz (8 pints). It's based on a 17th-century English pub format that was originally used to serve stagecoach drivers without making them dismount. A full Yard runs about $22.99 for domestics, $29.99 for craft, and is built for sharing. The Half-Yard (~32 oz) at $11.99/$14.99 is the more common order, and the Pint (16 oz) at $7.50/$9.50 is the everyday glass.

Eclectic menu identity

Korean BBQ Beef & the Asian-inspired side of the menu

The other thing that sets Yard House apart from a typical American bar & grill: a deep Asian-inspired section that's been on the menu since the brand's California origins. The Korean BBQ Beef is the chain's most-ordered non-burger entrée.

Notes: Yard House's Happy Hour menu is notably more generous than BWW's (two windows daily vs. one) and Cheesecake Factory does not run a system-wide happy hour. BJ's runs its own twice-daily Half-Off Happy Hour but only on a narrower list. Yard House's tap-beer selection (100+) is the largest in the category by a wide margin.

About Yard House

The "great American gathering place" — bar & grill engineered around 100+ taps.

Steele Platt opened the first Yard House on the Long Beach, California waterfront in 1996 with a single bet: more taps under one roof than any other American restaurant, and a menu broad enough that anyone in a group could find dinner. Three decades on, both halves of that bet have held — every store still pours 100+ drafts, and the menu still spans American (burgers, pizza, sandwiches), Asian-inspired (Korean BBQ Beef, Ahi Crispy Rice, P.E.I. Mussels), seafood, salads and vegetarian, all priced in the upscale-casual tier.

Yard House was acquired by Darden Restaurants in 2012 for roughly $585 million. As a Darden sister brand it sits alongside Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Eddie V's, Bahama Breeze, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and Ruth's Chris — the largest full-service restaurant company in the U.S. Yard House remains operated independently from its Irvine, California headquarters.

Common questions

Yard House menu — frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions people most commonly ask about Yard House — Happy Hour, tap beers, Korean BBQ Beef, the "Yard," kids' menus and pricing.

How much is Yard House Korean BBQ Beef?

Korean BBQ Beef costs around $21.99 at most U.S. Yard House locations as of May 2026. It's the chain's signature Asian-inspired plate — grilled marinated ribeye over jasmine rice with kimchi slaw, scallion, sesame and a fried egg. On the Half-Time Happy Hour and Late-Night menus it drops to around $16.99. California, the Northeast, Hawaii and downtown urban locations run $1–3 higher; suburban Midwest and Southern locations run at or below the price shown.

What time is Yard House Happy Hour?

Yard House's Half-Time Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and again from 9:00 PM to close at most locations. Happy Hour applies to a discounted bar menu of appetizers and shareables (typically $5–$12), select draft beers (often $1–$3 off pints), house wines and select cocktails. Pricing and exact end-times vary slightly by location — confirm with your local Yard House. Happy Hour is bar-and-lounge only at most stores (not the dining room), and is not honored on holidays.

How many tap beers does Yard House have?

Every Yard House serves 100+ tap beers — that's the chain's signature differentiator and the reason it was named Yard House in the first place. The lineup spans national domestics, regional craft, IPAs, lagers, stouts, sours, ciders and rotating local-brewery seasonals. Most stores list the active tap board online and at the entrance. The beer engine room behind the bar is so large that several Yard House locations feature it as a visible glassed-in centerpiece.

What's a 'Yard' at Yard House?

A 'Yard' is the chain's namesake glass — a 3-foot-tall hourglass-shaped beer vessel that holds approximately 96 ounces (8 pints) of draft beer. It's based on an old English pub format from the 17th century that was originally used to serve stagecoach drivers without making them dismount. At Yard House the full Yard runs roughly $22.99 for domestics and $29.99 for craft pours, and is built to be shared. The Half-Yard (~32 oz) is also available and is the more common order — $11.99 domestic / $14.99 craft.

Is Yard House owned by Olive Garden's company?

Yes — both are owned by Darden Restaurants, the largest full-service restaurant company in the United States. Darden acquired Yard House in 2012 for around $585 million. Sister brands under Darden include Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Eddie V's, Bahama Breeze, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and Ruth's Chris. The brands are operated independently — Yard House keeps its bar-and-grill identity and is run from its own Irvine, California headquarters.

Is Yard House expensive?

Yard House sits in the upscale-casual ($$$) tier — pricier than Applebee's or Chili's, comparable to Cheesecake Factory and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, and below steakhouse chains like LongHorn or Capital Grille. Typical entrée ranges: burgers $15–$20, Asian-inspired bowls $18–$26, seafood and steak $20–$38, pizza $14–$19, appetizers $9–$22. The cheapest way to eat there is the Half-Time Happy Hour or the Late-Night menu, where most apps drop to $5–$12 and entrées drop $3–$5.

What's on the Yard House Late-Night menu?

Most Yard House locations run a Late-Night menu after 10:00 PM that mirrors the Half-Time Happy Hour pricing — discounted appetizers, sliders, sushi rolls, pizza, Korean BBQ Beef and the Yard House Cheeseburger. Typical late-night prices: Cheeseburger around $13.99, Truffle Fries around $7.99, Margherita Pizza around $11.49, Spicy Tuna Roll around $11.49. The late-night menu is bar/lounge only and runs until close (typically 12 AM–1 AM, sometimes later on weekends). Availability varies by location.

Does Yard House have a kids' menu?

Yes — Yard House has a kids' menu for guests under 12, priced roughly $7.49–$8.49. Options include a Kids' Cheeseburger, Mac & Cheese, Chicken Tenders, Pepperoni Pizza and Grilled Chicken with Broccoli. Each meal comes with a choice of side (fries or fruit) and a kids' beverage. Yard House is family-friendly during the day, though it leans toward a sports-bar atmosphere on game nights and after 9 PM — call ahead if you're bringing children to a high-traffic location.

Are appetizers cheaper at Happy Hour?

Yes — significantly. Half-Time Happy Hour appetizers typically range $5–$12, which is a discount of about $3–$8 off regular menu pricing. For example: Truffle Fries drop from $9.99 to about $5.99; Chicken Lettuce Wraps drop from $16.49 to about $10.99; P.E.I. Mussels drop from $16.99 to about $12.99; Spicy Cauliflower Bites drop from $13.49 to about $7.99. The discount applies in the bar/lounge area only, Monday–Friday 3-6 PM and 9 PM–close. Holidays excluded.

Where can I find a Yard House?

Yard House operates about 80 U.S. locations across roughly 30 states, with the densest concentration in California (where the chain was founded), plus a strong presence in Florida, Texas, Hawaii, Nevada and across major-metro downtowns and entertainment districts (Times Square NYC, Lincoln Park Chicago, the Vegas Strip, Honolulu, Anaheim). Yard House is a destination-driven brand — most locations sit in upscale outdoor malls, entertainment complexes or downtown sports districts.
