Yard House hours

Most Yard House locations are open 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight) Mon-Thu and Sun, and 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM Fri-Sat. The chain is closed Christmas Day and most locations close Thanksgiving Day per Darden corporate policy.

Yard House (founded 1996 in Long Beach, California by Steele Platt as a single beer-and-rock-music gastropub, acquired by Darden Restaurants in 2012 for $585 million) is an American casual-dining gastropub chain (a sibling-segment competitor to BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse) with about 80 US locations and is best known for 100+ rotating taps of draft beer, a long classic-rock soundtrack, and a late-night kitchen.

Common questions are about Sunday hours, what time the kitchen closes on weeknights versus weekends, when the half-price appetizer happy hour runs, and which holidays close every Yard House (Christmas) versus which stay open with regular hours.

One quirk worth knowing: Yard House runs half-priced appetizers daily during a 3-6pm afternoon happy hour and again from 10pm until close (Sun-Wed) at most locations, which is unusual for a Darden-owned brand and pulls a different late-night crowd than a typical sit-down restaurant.

The official store locator below confirms exact hours, address, and phone for the Yard House nearest you, since opening time on weekends and last-call timing on weeknights vary slightly by location and by city alcohol rules.
