Great time here at Yards Brewing Company.
Stopped by on a Wednesday night while in the downtown area. Was able to find parking nearby on the street, after 6pm is free.
Great vibes and environment throughout the brewery. Large area with lots of tables and bar area to sit. Picnic-style benches throughout most of the main area in the brewery. Large TV screens throughout.
Service was excellent! The server was friendly and efficient. I also loved seeing a constant rotation of staff serving and tending to multiple tables. The "team effort" way of service seemed much more efficient that having a single dedicated server.
I ended up having some wings, (10 for $14) which were great, and a flight of beer ($12). All of the beer samples were very good. There is a wide variety of beer so there is something for everyone.
Great environment there...range of individuals, couples, groups...talking, watching the TVs and lots of chess-players, which was cool.
The space was very clean throughout. Clean bathrooms.
Upstairs sometimes used for private events. There is some outdoor seating as well.
Toward the front, there is a store which sells apparel, mugs, and ofcourse take-home beer. All reasonably priced for a place like this.
Would love to return to try out some more flights and food options...some options sounded delicious but I wasn't in the mood to eat heavy.

Great, great brewery tour. Our guide was informative and funny. Tons of information if you love learning about the brewing process. Highly recommend a 1:30 tour as tou will end around the time happy hour begins. Great apps and beer specials. I would highly recommend a visit.
Parking is available for free by Target that is adjacent to the building. Interesting fact, the share solar panels to make production more sustainable.
Street parking only. Huge indoor seating with lots of patio seating. Numerous beers are on tap. Servers were all friendly and helpful
I came here when the last call was called out. I had a flight of their beers and loved their porter the most. I'll be back soon to try some more.
GO BIRDS!
Decided to join the public tour at the last minute, and glad we did! It felt like a private tour for just 3 of us on a weekday. The tour started off with a can of beer (do try Level Up!) and ended with a souvenir - a beer glass! Our guide, Mike, was really humorous and patient with our questions! Thank you Hans!😁
Tour is well timed to end by 3pm, the start of their happy hour! Good opportunity to try more beers and/or cocktails. Didn’t like the wings though.
I've been wanting to visit Yards for years, and I finally did and it did not disappoint. The space was enormous and the service was outstanding. The beer selection was vast, there was something for everyone. The best part is their "pints" are 20 oz instead of 16. What's not to love about that? The food was ok, but it's a brewery, who's really coming for the food? All in all, Yards is an awesome brewery and I will definitely return when I'm back in the area.
Great place for a beer (or a few) and something to eat. Nice atmosphere, great selection of beer and very tasty food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They had great recommendations on what beer to order.
If you are in the neighborhood it's totally worth a visit.
Nice to spend an afternoon here to try there beers
Great brewery place near Philadelphia center, walkable distance from historical site. Great Phili cheesesteaks. They offer flights for beer tasting. Very unique brewing.
We remember going to the previous location that was in an industrial zone. This new location is huge. Beer is still amazing as is the food. Had the pretzel, pork belly bao, fried cheese and wings for apps. Had burgers for mains. Sooo good.
Been going to Yards for years, can't believe I haven't left a review. Overall, Yards is an important institution for the area and a solid visit every time. With that said, the food could be a bit more consistent and less fried, and beers could be a bit more inventive. They don't produce my favorite beers, but there's always a pour I can enjoy at Yards. Solid spot.
Nice space, would be pretty epic when it’s filled. Visited during a happy hour on a quiet Tuesday.
Very well priced and some decent pints on offer!
