A bit of history
Yard House was founded in 1996 in Long Beach, California, and has since expanded across the US. The Seattle location opened in the early 2010s, taking advantage of the city's thriving craft beer scene. The name comes from the 'yard' glass, a 3-foot-tall beer glass used for sharing.
