I went to The Yard on two (2) occasions. The first time, shortly after the restaurant opened, was…read moreabsolutely terrible. When I say terrible, I mean it could not have been any worse. My friends and I went during the NCAA Basketball Tournament, hoping to be able to watch all of the games at once. However, rather than having any of the basketball games on, they literally had a replay of an NFL game, a volleyball game, a TV that had timed out, and some kind of documentary on the other TV. When we asked our server if they could put the games on, we were told that they were unable to change the channels on the TV, as it was some kind of streaming service. Furthermore, we placed an order for drinks, and after sitting there for about fifteen minutes (15) minutes, got up and left after not seeing our waitress after that. If I were simply judging by this experience, I would have given The Yard negative stars if possible. However, my friends and I returned to The Yard to watch the NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship, and had a much better experience. It seemed that they were able to get the TV situation worked out, and we were actually able to get drinks this time. I know that this is the bare minimum for a sports bar, but they did show marked improvement from the first time that we went there. Our server, the bartender, and the hostess were all very nice, and I really liked the interesting sports regalia that was hanging on the walls. Overall, I'm going to give The Yard a generous three (3) stars, mainly considering the context in which my experiences took place. I hope that my first visit was simply a matter of needing to work the kinks out, and that future visits will be more in line with how my second visit went. I've yet to try their food, so I'll probably come back at least one more time, which'll serve as the tiebreaker as to whether The Yard is a worthwhile stop or not.

Solid wings. We went to Peebles before a concert to chill, grab a buzz, and try the wings. And…read morewe're so glad we did. Yes, Peebles is loud, has a lot of attitude, and is designed to watch all the games at once. If you're looking to hang and catch up with an old friend, head somewhere else. If you're looking to grab a cold one and some solid wings, Peebles is the spot. Menus are digital, but you still have to order through a server. Our main feedback is to (if we still have to order through a server) design a traditional one page menu, scan the .pdf, then have customers scan the barcode to view the .pdf on their phone. The digital menu (as is) is confusing and too big to use (top) browsing tabs.

We stopped into pebbles sports pub for a quick drink during family weekend. Great location and…read moresetup for a sports dive bar. The place wasn't busy during our stop but I'm sure during the games they are packed. The owners i think are Buffalo Bills fans which I won't hold against them. We ordered vodka on the rocks with a splash of juice and the bartender served it in tiny kid like glasses. It was funny. Overall I'd come back here to play some pool, watch a game and enjoy the people.

It was a super strong vodka-based drink with a splash of seltzer. It was an absolutely perfect low-sugar option for someone. We also got some mozzarella sticks and tots. Both were solid starter options. Since they were on a limited menu due to the festival, that's all we got. They don't have many vegetarian-friendly options anyways, so it was all good by me. They could work on their TV and table placement during sporting events, but we made it work. Overall, this is a good college bar where the vibes are positive!

However, we expected German beer options being that they call themselves a Biergarten. They had none. Absolutely nothing about this place was German. We went on a Sunday late morning and all they had was brunch. That was fine, but the brunch menu was fairly limited. And again, nothing German. While our service was great, it looked like they had two servers for the entire place. We saw two tables of people get up and leave because the weren't being waited on. Again, our experience was good. But maybe consider the negatives before trying.

Service was good and very friendly, portion sizes were extremely generous, and well priced. That said, the food wasn't great. Very greasy all around. I was the only one who didn't thin the sausage was gross. My frittata had a ton of mozzarella cheese which added no flavor but a ton of calories, one bite of the grit cake and it had very little taste but a lot of fat in it. I had brunch here once before a few years ago and I remember there being some healthier options on the menu and I don't remember it being this greasy. J.Ja
