The Yard at Corktown

It was good experience! The vibe was great! Loved all the game options! Lots of space to move around! Only thing could’ve made it better was if we got some drinks! But that means we have to go back! Which we all said we would!

We had so much fun here, on our team outing! They have the most friendliest staff. The game were fun! The was great! I hate to say this, but, the sofas in VIP were to low for these arthritic knees. I thinking of taking my daughter volleyball team there as an outing.

Real or hype? Three stars says HYPE. There is a $10 cover charge for adults. If you’re coming with a group I would suggest making a reservation or arriving super early. We arrived on a Saturday just after opening. There were a decent amount of people there. All the games are free with the exception of axe throwing and the arcade games. There was a wall filled with different types of board/card games. Cornhole and cup pong were on one side. Large connect four and other games on the other side. Music is kept at a very low level. Drinks were just ok. They could use better mixers. The lemonade used for the lemon drop was gross. Definitely just basic mixology skills from the bartenders. But hey they can only serve what the establishment provides. Food was very minimal and mediocre. Axe throwing…hmmm…. You pay for an hour, however, it’s not solely the people in your group. The time you pay for is not exclusive to your group as others will be able to throw during your “reserved time”. It’s an ok spot. Definitely a lot of hype. From the outside looking in, drunk people always seem to have a good time.

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.

This was my second time here the first time I had poor service from a bartender who seems to be complained about a lot on here while watching another girl run circles around her. Tonight I had OUTSTANDING service from a bartender her name was Lexy she helped us the entire night, remembered our name for our tab and our drinks. She is one of the best bartenders I have ever experienced in any bar. She was fast efficient all while being personable. She completely changed my opinion on this place and I will be returning. She was awesome.

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

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!

Went there for an after-work party, which we had a blast! The burgers were great, the pizza not so much $14 for a personal pepperoni pizza, four cube size slices which was the equivalent of a corner slice from Buddy's or Green Lantern. Will not recommend the pizza.

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.
