South Yard

Jun 24th, 2023

Suggestion for the food and beverage manager, on weekends when its crazy busy and you dont have enough staff, do a fast casual concept and have people come up to the bar to order their food and drinks. Service was very very slow on Friday night when it was packed. Great space though - live music, games to play, big screen TVs all outdoors.

Great new lounge/sports bar spot in the Marriott!! I was looking for a place with the Sunday ticket and South Yard hit the spot. 1. South Yard has a lot of TVs and is open early so you can watch your east coast games! 2. While the restaurant is outside, they have heaters and fire pits throughout the space for chilly weather or evenings. Dress accordingly! 3. Large game area with cornhole, air hockey, and funky play-centric furniture that makes it friendly for kids and adults alike. 4. You order via the QR code on your table and then the staff deliver your drinks, food, etc. They have a condiment table with tons of sauces and toppings for your food. The ordering process can be a little wonky (slow, and they ended up having a bunch of receipts for my table and I had to do multiple transactions when closing out) so be patient. 5. They have bottomless mimosas and you mix your own - so you can get your preferred proportion of wine and juice. They also have a Bloody Mary bar. 6. I have a guilty pleasure for cheap light beers and they had Coors Light for $2 on Sunday. They also offer craft beer on tap/bottle/can and cocktails. 7. I had a delicious Lola Farms sausage sandwich with housemade chips. Very good. I also had pretzel bites - the pretzels were good, but, the sauce was some type of beer cheese dip. It wasn't that great - too tangy! Next time I'll try a burger or breakfast sandwich. They looked really good. 8. The staff are extremely friendly and gracious. I was checked in on by servers regularly (but not in an annoying way) and they all chatted with me and made me (as a solo diner who loves her football) feel very welcome. Marriott management also checked in, which was nice. Pro-tip: Get there early to get the game of your choice and a good table! I will surely be back!
