Truck Yard

"At this funky, outdoor beer garden in East Downtown, happy hour is as easy as 3-4-5: grab $3 shots, $4 beers, and $5 cocktails Monday to Thursday from open until 7 p.m. Sunday happy hours are rare, but Truck Yard invites EaDo dwellers to wet their whistle at a reverse happy hour from 6 p.m. to midnight. Enhance the happy hour experience with a ride on Truck Yard’s colorful Ferris wheel for $7 a ride or $10 for an all-day wristband — an easy way to keep the kids entertained while kicking back with a cold one." - Brianna Griff

"Truck Yard Houston’s backyard-style garden is known for its monthly parties, and this Halloween, it’s welcoming all for its festivities. Find fortune tellers, live music, candy for kids, costume contests for both dogs and humans, and a photo booth to document the memories." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Truck Yard, an open-air beer bar and live music venue in Houston's EaDo neighborhood, faced backlash after displaying an insensitive message on its marquee. The bar subsequently removed the message, apologized, and replaced the marquee with a supportive message for the Houston Astros." - Brittanie Shey

"This sprawling bar, complete with a live music stage and a working ferris wheel, provides an amusing destination for day-drinking in the EaDo neighborhood. The 15,000 square foot space is spread out over various levels, and a number of rotating food trucks parked on-site make for perfect snacking in between tequila shots." - Megha McSwain

"Truck Yard, located in EaDo, Houston, is a popular venue for cold beer, frozen cocktails, and food truck fare. It opened last May at 2118 Lamar Street. Initially, the city of Houston's health department alleged that Truck Yard didn't have the correct permit for food trucks, an allegation the bar denied. The fire marshal also identified a fire hazard, which has been addressed. After six months, Truck Yard resolved these issues and can legally host food trucks, such as El Guajillo, Muiishi Markirritos, Twisted Catfish, Coreanos, Wokker, and Rich Boy Po Boys. Additionally, Truck Yard features a new private karaoke room, the “Karaoke Container,” accommodating up to 15 people and requiring an hourly drink minimum." - Alaena Hostetter
