Took a party of six to the Yard Hatchet House and Bar for a fun night out, and it did not disappoint. The new owner, Justin, was very engaged and welcoming, which really added to the experience. The atmosphere and space were great—plenty of room to relax and enjoy the night. We had a blast throwing axes and playing cornhole . The service at the bar was very good throughout the evening. An absolute fun time for all of us, and we would definitely go back again.

Really thrilled with this place!!! My friend and I booked a throwing session tonight and we ended up staying to eat and chat for several hours after because the vibe was SO amazing! Big shout out to Christopher who hosted us and had the most inviting energy, he really made our experience memorable! The bartender was a total sweetheart too! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back! 🩵🪓🩵

Really cozy and amazing place. Don't let the size of the space intimidate you. There's a lot of activities to do whether in small or large groups. There's also an outdoor area that still private from the public for small group gathering and chill 😎 Overall I highly recommend this place

Chris and the other woman who was working the night of 9/16 (I unfortunately didn't catch her name) were so accommodating when we had to cut the attendance of our event almost half the day before, and also had to start much later than we anticipated. They went above and beyond for us multiple times- at one point our friend had been trying to find parking in Albany for over 30 min, and the woman who had set up our food for us kindly offered to get on the phone with our friend and direct them to potential parking spots, and it worked! The food and drinks were great, the vibe was chill, and the games were super fun :) Will def be going back with a larger group.

Come to the Yard! Went here for a date night to throw axes and enjoy some boozy ice cream. Really laid back vibe when we came, the coach was so chill but also so helpful with pointers. We had a boozy moo flight and all the flavors were great, I especially liked the boozy buns flavor. Come and kick back, enjoy the vibes and have some out of the box fun. Although we didn’t do the yard games, the selection looked wild and I do intend on returning for some twister.

This was my first time throwing an axe. It was great fun! I came across this place with my family while traveling, and I'm glad I got to meet the lovely gentleman who worked there. He gave us training, made us some great drinks, and treated us to homemade ice cream. It was a great time.

This was the second time I have axed thrown and I enjoyed myself very much. Chris was a great coach and made a hell of a drink (pictured). The summer is a lean time for them so let's show some love by ensuring we go out and support this establishment. Great vibe and I love the interior and exterior of the spot. Brings a new meaning to The Yard!!! Enjoy yourself and invite me. Tell em Vin Vin sent you I'm tryna see something. Deuces, Vin Vin

If I lived in Albany you would see me here every weekend I’m sure. Great vibes, great drinks and snacks, great service. I didn’t want to axe throw, but the swings were fun and it was cool to watch the others throw their axe 🪓

The Bartender, Chris, is the coolest dude. He saw to it personally that we had an amazing time and made the best drinks. Super fun place to go for dates, to make friends, and to have a fun time!

“The Yard: Hatchet House and Bar” is an incredible spot for a fun night out with friends, offering a lively and welcoming atmosphere. While ax throwing is the main attraction, they also feature a variety of lawn games like cornhole, beer pong, and ladder ball, adding to the entertainment options. The drink menu is impressive, with a solid selection of beer, wine, and cocktails, and there are tasty snack items to keep you fueled. The space is large and well-maintained, with clean facilities and a friendly staff that makes the experience even better. It’s a great place to unwind and try something new!

I came here as a work event and Chris, the manager working our event knocked it out of the Park helping our group with the food trays we ordered and our individual drink orders. I tried a Berry the Hatchet and Chris was able to sub in Rum for the base drink and it was super tasty. I was then particularly delighted with my Motherpucker drinks made with the hard cider Nine Pin base and sorbet. Corn hole and hatchet throwing (please be advised to sign their waiver upon selecting axe throwing!) and I had such an amazing time with my coworkers and had that much better of a time because Chris took special care to work magic to make our event that much better. Well done! 10/10 would come back if in the area. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely recommend a swing on the swings! Please note. If you have gotten to the Knick apartments, you've walked too far. The Yard is on the corner with the amazing outdoor veranda and axes on the sign. Cheers!! 🪓🪓

The atmosphere in the place was amazing. The ax throwing was a great date night activity. The appetizers were great and the prices were perfect.

A ton of fun. They were able to have a group of 5 of us drop in for about an hour. We got a quick tutorial on axe throwing with the various tools and then we were left to do it ourselves with periodic checkins make sure it was going good. The boozy moos served there was also fun. I was able to get a flight of the ice creams and try a couple of different flavors. Would totally go again.

The Yard was the perfect choice for our company outing! Our entire team (48 people!) loved the games, atmosphere and staff. Our hosts Leyla and Brianna were gracious from planning our event, to the day of execution. It was wonderful to have The Yard all to ourselves, I highly recommend renting the entire space! Our team absolutely loved the axe throwing and yard games. We ordered a delicious charcuterie and veggie board, and enjoyed cocktails from the bar. Even the music was fabulous. Thank you all, for an amazing time. We will certainly be back for more fun!

I only had the ice cream, but I absolutely loved it. The woman working behind the bar was very kind, patient, and helpful. The options were extensive so I ended up with 2 different flavors one of which was dark chocolate and it was delightful! A little pricey for the size but where else can you get boozy ice cream? Also loved the swings!

The place is nice, good atmosphere, we only ordered draft beers because the others are in cans, we wanted to play with the axes but it really seemed a bit expensive for the family group.

It was ok, our instructor wasn't that great but another instructor with another group was. Food and drink options are good and yummy, ice cream was SO DELICIOUS. The wood they used is a lot harder than other axe throwing spots so it was super hard to get the axe to stick so that's really why it's 5 stars. Everything else is awesome and they also have lawn games and outside patio area!
