The Yard Just Launched a New Menu — And It’s Built to Fuel Your Night

If you haven’t been to The Yard Sports Bar & Hatchet House in Albany, now is the time.

We’ve officially launched our new menu — and it’s bigger, bolder, and built for how people actually go out.

Whether you're coming in for axe throwing, league night, a birthday party, or just drinks with friends, we redesigned our food lineup to hit three goals:

  1. Shareable

  2. Craveable

  3. Perfect with a cold beer or cocktail

🍔 What’s New on the Menu?

We leaned into elevated bar food — done right.

Think:

  • Loaded shareable appetizers for the table

  • Slider-style burgers with real flavor

  • Crispy wings tossed in bold sauces

  • Handhelds that actually fill you up

  • Late-night bites that pair perfectly with whiskey or craft beer

This isn’t microwaved bar food. It’s built for flavor, speed, and fun.

If you’re coming in for axe throwing, you can now actually make it dinner — not just drinks.

🎯 Designed for Groups, Leagues & Events

One thing we’ve learned running leagues and private events at The Yard:
People want food they can eat between throws.

So we engineered the menu around:

✔ Easy-to-share plates
✔ Food that doesn’t slow the game down
✔ Items that hit your minimum spend faster (for private events 😉)
✔ High-quality ingredients without overcomplicating the experience

If you’re booking an event in Albany, this menu makes planning easier.

🍻 Perfect Pairings: Beer, Bourbon & Game Night

The Yard isn’t just about throwing axes.

It’s about:

• Craft beer
• Signature cocktails
• Bourbon pours
• Game nights
• College nights
• League competition
• Downtown Albany energy

The new menu was built to complement our bar program — whether you're ordering a Hendrick’s cocktail, local draft, or something from our growing whiskey lineup.

📍 Why It Matters for Downtown Albany

We’re proud to be part of the Palace District.

Our goal has always been simple:

Bring people together.
Create energy.
Keep people downtown longer.

A stronger menu means:

• More reason to start your night here
• More reason to stay
• More reason to come back

And if you're near UAlbany, Siena, or just looking for something different than the standard tavern experience — this is it.

🎉 Come Try It This Week

We’re especially excited about:

  • League nights

  • College nights

  • Weekend group reservations

  • Private events and birthday bookings
