Loved this place. Came in to OKC from Cleveland. Such a great vibe, music & drinks on point. Highly recommend!

Nice spot to chill/relax with no drama or expectations. It's outdoors but with covered seating. There are drinks/cocktails and food trucks. My spot to chill whenever I'm in OKC. Photos will be added on my next visit!

We stopped by The Yard on a friends birthday, and while it was cool, it's not a spot I'd frequent or tell anyone they had to go to. Like previously stated - there's only one bar and the drinks are much to expensive for what they are. The latch on the bathroom stall needed to be fixed as well. We had fun, but there's a lot that could be done to make this a more exciting spot.

This place is a great location with so much potential but unfortunately it's owners and management has done a very poor job with it. Bad decisions around every corner. High prices, covers, and bad drinks. Place is pretty trashy most of the time. Not enough staff around to clean or clear tables. Portapottys for bathrooms.

All the reasons you love "the other beer garden" and none of the reasons you don't. I feel this was more of a "family atmosphere" less crowded, oh and cheaper! Much cheaper. I felt I could definitely chill here. They have an upper patio that's closed when they are slower. Lower(main area) houses covered picnic tables with tables. I've seen some pretty cool big events that have been hosted here but have yet to attend- now that I've had my first experience here and enjoyed it I'll definitely be looking to attend their next event.

Been excited to come to this place for some time now. First experience was awful. Bartender was a douche. Don't know his name but he had blonde hair and sunglasses on if that helps. Seemed like he didn't want us there and then turned one of my friends away because he had long hair in his ID and had recently cut it. I'll keep my business at Bleu.

This location isn't closed I was there yesterday for their Cinco on 7th. It is pet friendly beer garden. When I walked in they had a cover of $10 per person which was high considering they had ports potties for the guest restroom. They did have live music and stage and the band was great and had a nice variety of music. The main bar is jam packed so we opted for the other walk up bar. Very reasonable on pricing for beer. Coors light cans were $2 and Modelo cans $3 and margaritas $7. They had two food trucks that smelled really good but I didn't eat here. They have corn hole to play and is great for groups. They have an upstairs seating area so there's room to sit just about anywhere even when the whole bottom half is packed. I like this place but it needs to have actual taken care of bathrooms here for me to come back. Service was great from the walk up bar and they offered me water and a bowl for my pet. At the bottom had seating they have water bowls next to the table and a faucet to refill your water bowl.

Food/Drinks: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 We don't have may beer gardens here in OKC but when we do I really enjoy them. OKC makes use of their space very well and this place really has large square footage. On a Sat. night there was a live concert which was really enjoyable and we played games all night. There is plenty of seating which made this place more relaxing for a large group (hard to find plenty of seating in a big city). Oh during band night there is a cover charge ($5-$10 I think). Food trucks are always a plus!

A better ambiance than Bleu Garten, but less drink options. The live music is awesome, and I love the different levels. The tree wrapped in lights? Girls, do it for the 'gram... Bathrooms were not working and not big enough for the crowd. Plan accordingly ladies, it was port-a-potty only for a few of my visits.

I have been to several events at The Yard, and it is a great space! They have recently expanded which gives more space for activities and live music. They also have games and reasonably priced drinks. When I found out about the $10 beer band though, that was a game changer! You can get 10 Coors Lights for $10 which can even be shared with friends. If that doesn't encourage drinking I don't know what will haha. Even if you don't drink all 10, it's still a steal. I haven't made it to The Yard on a weekend as all the events I've been to there have been on weeknights, but it seems like a great place to start or end your weekend. I wish they had more food options or food trucks on a regular basis, but it's a great spot nonetheless.
I'm gonna be honest, I feel a bit like I'm ditching my staple for a younger cousin. visited on a Friday night, the atmosphere changes as soon as you walk through the gate...mostly because the uneven concrete turns to shifting small gravel screening (which is SUPER HARD on my ankles in heels). A variety of seating is available: high top, corner bench, picnic style, upstairs, etc. One bar open. WARNING: the Long Island IT is a premix, and designed for effect not flavor. I was appreciative for the following mascow mule, though the quality was still a bit low.

Live music for awhile and then DJ. Food trucks... drinks. Nice place to hang out with a group of friends. $5 cover is a bit steep for what it is... outdoor space. 100 degrees outside, but they had fans going. Security on site.

I cannot state enough how thankful I am for a place like The Yard. To be frank, some people (like me) enjoy drinking with friends outside and would prefer not to have kids running amok.... which is essentially what Bleu Garten has devolved into. Sure, there are still some kids around, but The Yard hasn't turned into a Chuckie Cheese...at least not yet. The beer selection is good and the prices are very fair. Also, they offer up some of most underrated background music playlists around town. In my opinion, The Yard is among the best outdoor drinking venues in the city. I'll never pass up a chance to enjoy a few adult beverages with friends at The Yard.

The saying they live by, "Don't be Bleu, go to the Yard!" This place has a relaxed atmosphere that encourages fun and great conversation! Plenty of seating available out by an open area for dancing and live performances. Food trucks rotate to provide a bite to eat for those who get the alcohol munchies. Yard games include corn hole and giant Jenga. Kid and pet friendly, especially for concert events. One room restrooms that sometimes results in a long line. Huge bummer for women, especially when waiting until the last minute to go. That is the one thing I wish they would improve upon. No girl wants to use the porter potties on the side. None. Overall, a great time to spend an evening with friends and family!

We had a great experience eating food trucks with the kids. Live entertainment and the downtown atmosphere was amazing!
