I visited the yard for a birthday drop in party. We had a great time. Even is non drinkers has plenty to do. There are outdoor games, Mega pong pictures and corn hole. Indoors there is a huge selection of board games, table shuffle board, and darts. For an addition fee, there is Detroit Axe axe throwing. The good is good with a selection of pub food and a delish asian chicken salad. They do serve mocktails for the non-drinkers. Overall, fun several hours on a weekend. Looking forward to the summer when all of the extensive outdoor seating is open. read more

Awesome outdoor bar! They have tons of games to play, but the outdoor bar area is the coolest. They have a huge screen outside to watch the local game going on and a great spot to sit puisse and enjoy a cocktail read more

We returned for a date night Saturday night, and we had a great time. Everyone was playing games, they had chill R&B music playing, and the food and drinks were good. The pizza is Detroit style and maybe could have used a few more minutes to get a little crispier, but it was super cheesy and melty and reminded me of when I was a kid. Their fries are the super crispy kind, and the burger and chicken sandwich was decent. Their system of ordering food was also really efficient - they were packed and I got my order within 25 minutes. They also make nice strong drinks, and the bartenders were nice. Be aware, you must pay a $10 entry fee on Saturday nights, but I think it's well worth it. For that price, you have access to all the outside and board games, so you could have a cheap, fun night out. Even with food and drinks, we spent about $100 which is a pretty good price for downtown. read more

The security guard, is a fat, old, arrogant, asshole, and the WORST part of the experience. He holds up the line purposely, he's incredibly inefficient, and the poster child for age not equating to experience. He's a disrespectful, instigating, unprofessional dude who shouldn't be in this position, and I've had the displeasure of dealing with him a few times now. At this point, they deserve the review they earned. There's a cover charge for this place, which is already insane, but it's even if you're just sitting at the bar, and that takes it over the top. They say there are no reservations, but block off EVERY table for RESERVATIONS, so everyone is basically standing or just taking a table whose reservation hasn't started yet. The place is a joke. read more

This place is such a fun time! They have a large variety of board games and card games that you can play for free. They play fun music as well. The drinks here are amazing! The only downside is that there is a $10 cover on Fridays and Saturdays which I think is silly. I also wish that there was more seating available near the games. Overall a fun spot for date night or with friends. read more

This place is interesting they let you rent out Cabana's so that's what the family did for a birthday. It's a fun adult place. Ace throwing full bar. Beer pong and corn hole. Just some games to name can get really packed on the weekends. Your waitress will disappear on you. But if that's your kind of vibe you will love this place games crowd , music, food. Just walk up to bar if you want a drink and the bartenders can be a little rude . But the games are fun. Staff not so great. read more

Highly recommend giving this place a try. It was a $10 charge to get in on a Saturday night. Not sure if that's the norm. Music was a vibe. There is a food truck inside. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The game options are endless! I love the concept. Good for anyone who enjoys a good game. Great for groups, dates, or just a fun night out. The staff are constantly coming around and cleaning tables or seeing if you need anything. I will definitely come back. read more

Then we added regular fries and Spicy Fries (beyond good)!! We will definitely b back! The only thing I would change is add more BEER PONG AREAS WITH NETS!!! read more

This is the perfect place to get shot and killed on a Friday or Saturday night. There are always fights and people sneak guns in behind the fence. If you value your life, pick another spot that is safer. Apparently, ownership only cares about money and not safety. You were warned. read more

Excellent concept and space. This place is full of free games and activities for adults. It has 3 bars in food trucks inside. It's super spacious and has both indoor and outdoor seating. This place is excellent for date night, as it was a lot of love bugs there :). Great mixture of young and old, black and white. Chill and cool vibes. read more

This is an awesome place for adults who want to get a drink and hang out with their friends and have some fun. They have every board game you can think of available to play an amazing drink menu, pretty solid food and beautiful outdoor seating and outdoor games to play read more

This in the heart of Corktown is a place of fun in multiple ways: the bartenders can make a great gin cocktail, there is a great outdoor patio, and there is also a wall of board games. Just a drink today, no games. read more

The Yard - Gin, Lavender, Sparkling Wine. - Arcades Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Pretty fun night out! There are so many games and places to sit. They really planned out the space well to get the most of it. The food and drinks were okay, but expensive. Although, you're also getting a lot of free entertainment so I'm fine with that. The only thing I don't like is if you can't park on that side of the street, Michigan Ave is VERY dangerous to cross. Especially if you've had a few drinks or it's dark outside. They really need a road diet and a crosswalk closer. read more

Now the yard was dope! There's a lot in one small space when it comes to this establishment period You come in, and you will see 29 different things lol. Well not 29 but a lot. You come in and come up the wrap into the left you have a full bar. The boxing us gave us some really good conversation And I really enjoyed the vibe at the bar. But if you come in and go to the right, you'll see a wall of games. Not like a few shelves, the entire wall. So you will definitely have no problem finding some games to play for you and your party. You go a little deeper inside and now there's ax throwing. They have maybe about 6 to 10 lanes for acts throwing, and it actually stayed pretty active. Honestly I didn't go actuary when I went so I don't know what the prices are. But if you go opposite toward outside of the ax throwing, you see a big shiny Twinkie that's serving tacos and nachos and finger food and stuff like that. Everybody says that the tacos are good so just give them a try! Outside there's a huge yard, I guess that's why the name means something lol. But they have beer pong with the cups the size of garbage cans. And we did play that for quite a while, it was fun, a lot of fun. Also outside there's cornhole, which is a game staple, and behind there they're like cabanas to hang out in. The kind that you find at a beach party but clearly Detroit's not that but it was actually pretty cool to have a place to chill as well. All the way around, I would definitely recommend try and get out. If you have friends who like games, this is a spot for you! read more

There's lots to do here, from 2 walls of boardgames to choose from, to sand shuffleboard, to axe throwing and video games. The bar and wait staff was friendly and you can tell this is a pretty happening place when you walk in. If you're in the area and looking for a date spot with plenty of activities offering opportunity to show your competitive side, this is the place to be. read more

What a fun place!!! This was the absolute perfect end to a perfect day! Located in corktown, this place has all you need for a date night! They had board games stacked to the ceiling! There is an outdoor area for Cornhole. They had axe throwing too! I mean it was the complete package! Perfect for a summer night in the D! And a food truck located INSIDE the bar!! What??? Omg. They had the most AMAZING food!! I am one of those people that takes a few bites and then I'm full. But their burrito bowls were the Bomb! I ate the entire thing!! And these aren't dainty servings. Haha. I didn't even get a picture of the food before I scarfed it down! We ended up playing Battleship, which I won for a change lol. Then it was time to end the day. I would most definitely recommend this spot. Especially if you're looking to have an experience! read more

The Yard - Outside - Arcades Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

No Tacos even though it says on the sign. Food truck recently left. New menu items. Pretzel and burger fries and pizzas were good. Atmosphere was great. Fun to go with a group hang out and play board games. We rocked uno and Taboo for hours. They have plenty of games to play and vintage ones to buy. I feel that they are understaffed, not enough table service. Large beer and wine list yet most was unavailable. I read more

Cool chill place to hang out. But left irritated because every time my girl and I went to play on the shuffleboard game other people would walk up and cut us out. I recommend getting a chalk board and writing a name on it so everyone gets a fair turn. read more

Amazing place - best atmosphere. I haven't been to a place that felt like this in a while. It's everything you want for a summer night or even a fall night. Great place to bring a big group or even just a date. Definitely will come again. Board games variety is incredible! Yard games is a huge win! Drinks and food are good! read more

Had a great time at trivia first time here and I will be back your waitstaff is phenomenal happy holidays thanks for a great night

This place was so cool! It's located in corktown and has Detroit Axe, a bar, and Ruckus Taco truck inside of it. On top of that it has sooo many board games available to play. I came in with my bf for tacos and stayed for drinks and games. The food was delicious. Drinks were great. Games were awesome! They probably have every board game you can think of. We only played incohearant because it was late and they were closing soon. We also decided to purchase the Dune board game. The workers were sooo friendly and don't get annoyed if there are people still there after 12am which is so cool of them. I hope they eventually stay open longer because it's such a cool place. Such a fun place to go! We'll definitely be back and I can't wait to be back! Awesome vibes from everyone, including the other customers! read more

Find it funny they ask for a 10 dollar cover charge, even just to sit at the bar, yeah........ you're a joke

Great vibes and atmosphere. Our axe instructor was amazing! I believe his name was Brian. The taco truck has some great loaded fries. The drinks were also good from the bar. Would definitely return and highly recommend. read more

The taco truck was very good. We had a great time playing the board games, having some beers and food. Great place to go before or after a game. Also enjoyed the out door area with corn hole. Would be nice if they upgraded outdoor picnic tables and made them a bit bigger. read more

Cool place, good idea and a great staff but the food was absolutely awful and the axe throwing is way overpriced.

Super great food. Lots of fun games and activities. Love the way it's set up because you can really cater your own experience.

Such a great spot in Corktown to bring friends or a fun date night! They had an extensive menu & a large selection of tequilas to choose from. The inside is really cool with different areas to hang out and play games. Their patio is huge with several corn hole stations and plenty of seating areas! Have yet to try their food but can't wait to go back! If you do have a large group, highly recommend booking a reservation in advance for ax throwing or a table for board games! read more
