Even though I don't smoke, my partner enjoys an occasional cigar, and it's always nice that the staff remembers your name and makes you feel welcome. The service is consistently excellent, and they have a great selection of drinks--from premium whiskeys to just about any cocktail you can think of. Whether you're there for a cigar or just to enjoy a drink, it's a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I specifically came looking for Foundation's David, which is something I can't find at my usual lounge. Unfortunately, the box was empty when I arrived, and several other selections appeared to be running low as well. The humidor is smaller and more limited than what I'm accustomed to, though it was clean, well-maintained, and the cigars appeared to be in excellent condition. Prices seemed fair and in line with other local cigar lounges. The atmosphere is very laid back and local. There were only a handful of patrons present, a mix of working professionals and retirees. Seating was comfortable, the lounge was clean, and the bartender stayed on top of housekeeping tasks like emptying ashtrays even while busy. That said, the overall experience felt somewhat unstructured. There were numerous televisions showing different programming simultaneously, no music that I could hear, and no obvious beer or whiskey menu. The beer selection appeared to consist of whatever could be identified from the tap handles and cans in the cooler. As a first-time visitor, I also found myself navigating the humidor alone. The staff were friendly, but a brief introduction or recommendation would have been appreciated. What I did appreciate was that The Yard doesn't seem to be trying to be something it's not. It feels like a relaxed neighborhood cigar lounge where regulars come to unwind rather than a destination built around a curated cigar and spirits experience. Would I come back? Yes. I'd like to see the lounge at a different time of day and with a few friends. My first impression wasn't quite enough to pull me away from my usual spot, but there was enough here to make me interested in giving it another visit.

We had ours hosted by the (co?)founder which was very insightful to their process and included 4 tastings of vodka (nice and clear), gin (very aromatic in a pleasant way), bourbon, and rye whiskey plus a surprise pickle vodka. My go-to are whiskey and bourbon, but all proved to be delicious and any would make for a nice gift. Since we had been drinking previously to our visit, we didn't have room and time to have a drink at the bar, but certainly coming back looking at their cocktail menu online! The main area is a cocktail bar around a horseshoe, an homage to the guiding as it used to be a horse barn if I remember correctly. It gives speakeasy vibes with its dim lights, but certainly up on my list to come back and recommend to others!

The reviews looked good,…read moreand as a lover of spirits and cocktails, I decided to give them a try Through the front doors you take a right and enter a very intimate lounge and bar area. The light is very dim, but you can see the central bar, the almost decorative stills behind glass in the back, and many booths and seating areas You order your drinks at the bar. They have a list of signature and classic options using spirits distilled at the whiskey as well as other spirits. Each cocktail is a work of art. The artisanal elixirs are made to order right in front of you at the bar. This means they are quality drinks, but it also means they take slightly longer because they're made with care... they also might cost you a bit money The staff are friendly. We spoke to a couple about the cocktails, the distillery, eating options in the area, etc The drinks are solid. They aren't the heaviest of pours or too strong. Each cocktail has specific drink rate, garnishes, etc that will accompany it The distillery has a prime location, smack dab in the middle of the downtown Mesa. You can find restaurants, bars, shops, and even a place where you can both play pinball and shop for antiques or a spot where you can eat Cronuts while playing Super Mario Kart (Outcast) Some tips: Tell the bartender what you enjoy drinking and let them guide you towards a selection They offer tours on Saturdays (1hr in length) where you can learn more about the distilling process and try samples They have a couple clarified cocktails that were truly unique and refreshing. If you're into that They are open 7 days a week but their hours vary depending on the day Cheers!!

Food options are all around, while you're able to indulge in some food trucks, bring in your own, or free popcorn in the corner that has so many spices to choose from to top add. My fave is the Ole Bay. Cans to go are available as well. To top off this amazing experience, the service is suuuuper friendly! Always looking to come back even if I live right down the road!!

The L-shaped bar seats 15 people and there are six high tops that seat six people, three picnic tables outside for eight people each, and a long couch inside for four people to chill. My beertender was very friendly and accomodating. He gave my dog Hansel a bowl of water and a biscuit. This is a very dogfriendly taproom. Both beers I had were very tasty. My first pint was a Hefeweizen. It had a slight waxy mouthfeel. My second pint was an oatmeal stout. At 7.3% ABV it was a tad strong, but it went down very smoothly. I snacked on some free popcorn but it was seasoned with a strong spice. Thankfully I could help myself to the water fountain. I enjoyed the ambiance and will be back.
