Reservation Questions Answered
While we absolutely allow walk-ins as all non-reserved space is open seating, reserving one of our areas is a great way to guarantee a space to enjoy The Yard for your group.
Reservations at The Yard made for the weekend also allow your approved guest count to avoid the line and not have to pay the $10 entry fee at the door, simply by showing their unique QR Code to the host.
All of our amenities (cornhole sets, giant beer pong, fireplaces, etc.) cannot be reserved and remain first come first and free to enjoy as they become available. Selections from our board game library can be brought outside to your area as well. Axe throwing at Detroit Axe is available both on a walk-in basis, based on availability (first come, first served) for $25/person for one hour, OR you can make a reservation for a guaranteed time slot here: Detroit Axe Corktown
While all individual food orders are placed from the on site food truck, The Corner Grill, your reserved space will be attended to by one of our amazing cocktail servers who can get drinks for your group. If you, as the host, would like to cover all food orders (but still go the Ala Carte route), we can absolutely make that happen for your group.
If you would prefer to have your food provided to your group, family style, at your designated area, you can opt to add a food package to your booking. A food package is a convenient way to avoid the line at the Grill Counter and keep your guests in your area, without them having to leave to pick up their food from the food truck. Food Packages are served at a buffet in your area and can be reviewed here: The Yard Food Packages.
All reservation spaces have included gratuity for food and drink orders, whether the host is covering the tab or everyone is on their own. While we highly prefer not to do individual bills for reservations at The Yard, we will accommodate whatever works best for your group. By tracking the food and drink orders for your party, we will be able to determine if your food and beverage minimum was met, any shortfall on the minimum requirements are the responsibility of the booker.
We offer you the opportunity to cancel your event for a full refund up to 18 hours before your event. However, we CANNOT guarantee an alternative indoor reserved space due to inclement weather. If your event was not cancelled within the refund window, we will work with you to reschedule or do everything we can to accommodate you if possible.
