"With its cafeteria-style wooden tables, Spring Garden’s Yards Brewing could probably fit a few dozen family reunions. They have beer flags hanging from the rafters like they’re championship banners, as well as a huge menu of signature ales, small-batch options like citra saison and Kölsch-style ales, flights, and even some beers named after the founding fathers. Assemble that group of friends who want citrusy wheat beers, a great pretzel, and a basket of crunchy wings." - candis mclean
"The massive Yards Brewing taproom is a sun-drenched and cheerful space designed for the whole family. An ambitious menu features foie gras poutine and ramen: perfect for Yards enthusiasts who want to see where the magic elixir is made." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"If you’re looking to host a fun night out at a place with more beers than the Parkway has flags, head to Yards Brewing Company in Spring Garden. The casual brewery is full of cafeteria-style tables, all of which have great views of the TV screens. But with things like savory beef chili, nachos stacked with Oaxaca cheese and pickled jalapeños, and pale ale half chicken on the menu, you’ll probably be focusing more on the food than the Phillies game. You can also take your beer flights and habanero wings to the community table which seats groups of 12-48 people. " - Candis Mclean
"Philly has some great breweries, so it would be a mistake to skip town without stopping by its biggest one. Yards Brewing Company is full of cafeteria-style tables, all of which have great views of the TV screens. But with things like savory beef chili and pale ale half chicken on the menu, and a beer list as long as the body count at the end of The Red Wedding, you could end up passing more time at this laid back spot than anywhere else in the city. Stop by their outdoor beer garden before catching a show at Union Transfer or to sip away the shock that Franklin Music Hall nearby isn’t a historical site that houses Ben Franklin’s violins and flutes." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
"Spring Garden’s Yards Brewing, with its long cafeteria-style wooden tables, could probably fit a few dozen family reunions. They have beer flags hanging from the rafters like they’re championship banners, and you can choose from a menu of signature ales, small-batch options like citra saison and Kölsch-style ales, flights, and even some beers named after Founding Fathers. It works well for drinks with a few friends or a date with someone who wants to pair a crisp citrus wheat beer with a burger, a basket of crunchy wings, a slice of pizza, or a mound of fries." - Candis R.
