The Yard at Corktown

We held a company event here and I have received excellent feedback from the attendees. The space is so fun, everyone had a good time and the food exceeded expectations. Geoff was a pleasure to work with and his team does a great job! Very cool place.

The yard is a very fun place if you like board games and other fun backyard games! I was there when it wasn’t too busy out, but I can see how that place can get packed easily! Looks like it would be better to make a reservation for any size group that you want to go. The drink service was good and the food service was more like a Street truck style. You place your order on a computer and then pick it up at the window. The burgers did not come with fries. The burger was just OK. Still a very fun place to go and a cool experience!

They have a variety of board games you can play inside. I didn’t have a chance to go outside because it was packed, but I still had a lot of fun.

Probably the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Both bartenders I had to deal with were incredibly rude. Took over an hour to get one tiny personal pizza and fries. When inquiring the status of our order after 50min the food staff was not friendly either. Once receiving the food, the pizza was doughy and not cooked well and the fries were stuck together and hard. You can tell from the pattern of reviews spouting of poor service that the management does not care or has no backbone to address bad behaviors. The games were fun but having such poor service is unacceptable. In addition, the staff could not find napkins anywhere. Based on the food quality, terrible service (honestly the worst service/bartenders I’ve ever encountered), and lack of basic necessities to eat, I would not return. I’d recommend going elsewhere!

Super fun outdoor game selection. There's also axe throwing and games to borrow. Highly recommend, so fun! Fav is large beer pong with soccer balls and garbage bins. There's also bags/corn hole

Great times are had at this place! They have tons of options for games. They have board/card games galore, they have axe throwing, they have beanbag toss (cornhole), and they even have giant cup pong (beer pong) so you get the chance to relive you college days. I recommend 10/10. Also yes kids are allowed too and it doesn’t matter if you go with a group of 2 or group 20 it’ll be a great time. They also have good food

Went to a work event here and we all had a blast. The food was good. Everyone loved their pizza and burgers. Jumbo beer pong was a lot of fun. Also got to introduce people to some dice games like Farkle. Will be coming back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars) My family and I recently tried this spot and were really impressed with the food—absolutely delicious! The men working in the airstream kitchen clearly know what they’re doing, and they definitely earned the mandatory gratuity that was automatically added to our bill. We didn’t try any drinks from the bar, so I can’t speak to that part of the experience. One thing that stood out, though, was the service—or lack thereof. There seemed to be a lot of employees just standing around, and it would’ve been nice if they were more engaged with the guests. Everything was self-service: we ordered at the counter, picked up our food, grabbed our own napkins and utensils, got our own ice waters from the bar, and even cleared our own table when we were done. Overall, great food and a cool concept, but the service side could definitely use some fine-tuning to match the quality coming out of the kitchen.

I loved the vibes of this place! $10 cover on the weekends. You can chill and play board games or throw some axes, garbage can + volleyball pong, cornhole, etc. Food truck - easy to order from.

Such a fun time!! There is a huge selection of board and card games, so the time flies by when you're here. I didn't try the food but we got drinks and the service was very quick and helpful! The bartenders were also very nice. There is a $10 cover on weekends but honestly it's not bad considering you could spend the whole evening there playing games with your friends, or even go for date night. We will definitely be back!

I don't want to hear that there's nothing to do in Detroit when places like this literally exists . First of all it's such a vibe, this place is huge. So many photo opportunities if you're an Instagrammer. You can have drinks , food , do activities , watch the sunset . The options are endless. My drink and pizza was really good and of course , the pizza is Detroit style. A good place to chill and enjoy summer

We loved it! We played Shut the Box, Yahtzee, and Scategories. Our bartender was a great person and made good recommendations. It's super fun, but quite busy. Not a bad thing for a bar!! We loved being outside in the summer.

Neat idea, have all sorts of games you can play inside and out. Can even take board games outside. Service was nice great at outside bar. Kitchen and bar close at 11:00. Only issue was ordering food at 10:30 the guy asked for cash only, can only imagine why, reluctantly agreed to the order. Pizza and a pretzel. Came back up to the camper 5 times to pick up order and every time they asked what did you order, it wasn't written down anywhere, no order number or anything. Hence the cash.... Picked up pizza and went back up, finally another guy got the pretzel. Little ridiculous.

The Yard is the coolest game bar in the city! With a whole entire wall of board games and axe throwing, the Yard has fun things to do with the whole family. The bartenders always have the best recommendations, I got this fruity drink with some glitter by just answering a series of questions posed by them and wow did it hit just the spot. For food, there's a mini pod in the back that serves up tacos and nachos and bowls and LOADED fries! The best bar food, but it might get a little messy especially if you're playing some board games. I always come back to the Yard and with summer coming up they redid the yard and I know it'll be the best time! Highly recommend if you're down for something fun and new

The Yard is a great spot for literally everyone. It is a bar, game room, taco food truck spot, backyard game zone, and axe throwing center. The bartenders are really nice and there are always people clearing empty glasses from the tables. The food truck is soooo good I love the nachos and loaded fries. There is a whole wall of board games to choose from and the backyard area is really fun. They just redid part of the patio and backyard space to include some cabanas.

Ordered a margarita with Patron Silver and instead got well tequila that had been surreptitiously poured into a Patron bottle. Tasted like a**, definitely was not Patron, and yet my bill was 'top shelf' anyway. Lesson learned: Be wary of ordering top shelf liquor at The Yard or you'll end up with a raging headache and hangover from two drinks.
