Yard Bar & Grill

Great quality food, attentive service and excellent outdoor space in the back. Live music played while we ate and the band was great. Our large group of 8 was accommodated immediately and there were no issues with individual tabs. They certainly earned every bit of the autogratuity and more!

If you love great beer and even better burgers, this place is a must-visit! With an impressive selection of 30 beers on tap, there’s something for every brew lover. And let’s talk about the fresh ground burgers—absolutely fantastic! I don’t usually go for burgers, but I’d gladly make an exception here (and probably again… and again). Shoutout to our server Justin, who was an absolute rockstar—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Plus, the service was lightning-fast! Can’t wait to come back for another round!

Love! Amazing sweet and savory caption crunch tenders! Honey mustard sauce was a tiny bit too sweet for my liking but I enjoyed it all the same! We had a few cool cocktails and my fiance enjoyed the guacho burger and fries! We also had a really hot pub pretzel with 3 different sauces! 🤤 Our server was very attentative and helpful!

I had the pleasure of visiting Yard Bar & Grill before their grand opening, and everything was fantastic! The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all top-notch. I ordered a Mezcal cocktail, and it was absolutely perfect—smooth, refreshing, and full of flavor. This place is definitely going on my list of favorites. I can’t wait to come back!

The initial impression is very welcoming Morgan was a wonderful waitress she explained the menu well. Every employee makes you feel at home.

I can’t wait to come back here and try more of their amazing appetizers. Everything we had was 10/10. And we sat on the patio which is soo cute.

Stopped in to check out the speak easy and watch the prelims. Had a few drinks. Extremely super friendly staff. I’ll be back just because how kind the staff was. Check them out!

The Yard is a great place for Sunday football. Every major game was playing simultaneously and their brunch menu is served alongside their full menu (until 2pm). Plenty of options for everyone! They make a lot of their syrups in-house, which is a testament to their dedication to quality as well. Customer experience was as good as you can get. Although they were busy, the staff took time to engage in conversation and were very friendly while multitasking. Overall great experience and I can't wait to come back!

Such a cute and cozy place to grab a bite. The burger was delicious and the portion was great. It was a great place to have a nice and relaxing dinner.

Two friends and I watched the Dodger game on Monday at the Yard and enjoyed happy hour drinks, a few appetizers, and dinner. Good food, great service, and fun atmosphere! Will definitely return. Update a month later: still a fun time and great cocktails but today the appetizers were not as good, Nachos with carnitas were cold, and the onion petals were undercooked. Will try again soon.

Ventura’s best burgers on Main Street and beyond! I make it a point to eat here and hang every time I’m in Ventura. The Captain Crunch Chicken strips are amazing and can be enjoyed with or without sauce. But it’s the Brisket/Ground Beef burgers that keep me coming back. The atmosphere is always chill and the beer is always ice cold.

The Yard Bar & Grill is a great place to enjoy tasty food in a fun and relaxed setting. The menu has a wide variety of options, from hearty meals to lighter bites, and everything is served hot, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of spot where you always leave full and satisfied. The service is excellent—staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or quick refills. Food comes out in good time, and the team works hard to make sure customers are happy. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a mix of casual comfort and good vibes. It’s perfect for hanging out with friends, watching a game, or enjoying a night out. With delicious food, great service, and a fun environment, The Yard Bar & Grill is definitely worth coming back to.

Our first time trying this place today and we were very happy with our first impression! I got the fried chicken sandwich and my husband got the morning burger! Both were very delicious! I love their pub fries! They’re unique and very tasty! I also ordered their lemonade lavender drink and it did not disappoint! We will be back to try some other menu items! But for now I definitely recommend this place if you want yummy burgers and you want plenty of tv’s for sports ! I think they even had Sunday ticket for those football fans out there!

The main area is lively and can be loud, but don’t miss a great atmosphere out in the back garden or smaller bar in the rear. Food was exceptional. Those in our group who drink were happy with the choices.

This place is fantastic. The food and drinks are great but the service is phenomenal. We had a large party, lots of little kids, people coming and going, separate checks - probably very annoying like a servers worst nightmare. They were so accommodating and offered fantastic service. Atmosphere is also great, quiet, comfortable and inviting. Our server Morgan was so sweet and made sure everyone was always taken care of. She got every order correct, it was out super fast and she managed to not trip over any toddlers. Honestly haven’t had service that good in years.

This place is a must! The appetizers are 10/10 and they have a variety of beers on tap! Sofia was amazing and gave the best service! Between her and the beer we will be back again! A MUST try for everyone!

Food was great and what makes it even better is that are waiter was on top of it. He was cool and very nice dude. Definitely will be going back again. My wife loved her Old Fashion 👍🏽👍🏽

The good news.This is a nice place. A nice little bar inside. Plenty of seating outside and firepit. The bad news. I just want to post a heads up. If you like Haku gluten free vodka, it is $30 per drink as opposed to $16 average for most other drinks. Would have been courteous to inform us that drink is a premium.

I tried the Gaucho Burger, and while it looked promising, it lacked flavor—though the jalapeño did help a bit. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t order it again. On the other hand, my partner had the Goomar and it was absolutely delicious. The drinks were solid—I had the strawberry margarita and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. Our server rarely checked in, and we didn’t receive silverware until we asked—by then we had already started eating our burgers. Overall, a mix of hits and misses.

I went here yesterday for lunch and it was an interesting experience. The food was great I had the giant pretzel and the short rib nachos which were both really good. The waitress though needs to improve. She seemed new so I was patient with her, but she forgot parts of the order. She was constantly standing around on her phone and the other waiter who wasn't even serving us had to come check on us multiple times. While waiting for the check I sat around for 20 minutes and eventually had to go get it myself and return it myself. With better service I'm sure it would have been a very different experience though and worth a try if you don't get our waitress
