This warm weather makes us excited for summer and our deck, and for an end to NY PAUSE. Hang in there friends; we'll get there.
In the meantime, don't forget we have Happy Hour Takeout Wednesday through Sunday. Our menu and hours are on our website.

Thanks @lark_st_poke_bar and @thepaperdragonalbany for fueling us up before we open for Happy Hour Takeout at The Yard.
Remember to support the restaurants and bars in your community by ordering takeout when you can.
We are open today from 3 p.m. until 6. And our takeout menu is on our website.

Did you know The Yard is an "essential service" and that we are able to stay open for takeout service only?? It's true! We have a variety of cans and bottles, and also wine (!) for takeout. And we even offer mix and match packs! Our Takeout Menu is on our website. Order your favorites and get our complimentary homemade Chex mix and $5 off your future axe-throwing trip. (Do not worry. You WILL be throwing axes again, and there's no expiration date to this.) We are open for Happy Hour takeout Wednesday to Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Well this has been a helluva week for everyone.
We want to remind you to take comfort in friendship and family, even if it has to be from a distance. If there's any brightside to this crisis, it's that we have all kinds of technology to stay in touch and be connected.
We also want to remind you how important it is to support eachother and the small businesses in your community. So starting today, we're going to help you identify small businesses that could use your support. And we're giving you some incentive to do it.
First up is @thepaperdragonalbany. Have you met the owner Jeff yet? He's an outstanding guy with an outstanding menu. He's offering some awesome takeout and family meal options. Plus he is rollling out a Saturday breakfast menu beginning tomorrow. Put in an order with Jeff and you won't be disappointed.
After that, order from our Happy Hour takeout menu (available on our website tomorrow) and get $2 off your order with us. All you need to do is take a screenshot of your receipt from the Paper Dragon and send it to us.
Happy Hour takeout is available at The Yard Thursday to Saturday, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
We look forward to the light at the end of this tunnel.

Staying indoors to help stem the spread of the virus? We are too.
Although we had been hoping to start our regular hours of operation this week, we know that the best thing to do for now is to hit the pause button. We are hopeful that this will be a temporary situation for all, especially since long term closures will devastate small businesses and the community economy.
If you have booked a reservation for this week, we will hold your booking and reschedule you to a future date once this situation ends. If you are on one of our leagues, you will still receive the play time that you paid for once we reopen.
If you would like to help support us during this difficult time, we invite you to buy a gift card for future use. Or you can buy one of our latest Yard t-shirts. You will be able to purchase both through our website soon. In the meantime, email us at info@theyardalbany.com to make any purchases.
If you're not able to make any purchases, then you can also help support us by inviting your friends to follow us on social media. Or you can simply tell them about The Yard and invite them to visit when we reopen.
Despite this temporary closing, we'll still be at The Yard periodically taking care of our 120 plants on the wall and around the space. (Yes! They're all real!) If you see us inside while walking by, give us a wave!
We will keep everyone updated on any changes with our hours via our website and social media.
Thanks for supporting The Yard.

Grand opening weekend continues! Everyone who came out last night had fun and greatly appreciated our clean and cozy space. And of course, the free shots of hand sanitizer!
We're open today starting at 3. If you want to come in to play, don't delay! Evening slots for tonight are filling up.
You can book through our online shop, www.theyardalbany.com/shop. Feeling lucky? Then try your luck as a walk-in.
Not in the mood to play? Then pull up a chair at our cool full bar! The seats are so comfy you will not want to get up.
Finally, if you are sick, have the sniffles or are otherwise feeling under the weather, then stay home!

Now serving complimentary shots of "Germ-aXe" hand sanitizer with purchase of axe throwing or lawn games!
We're a little less than 2 hours away from our grand opening! We welcome you to come out and visit us. (But if you don't feel well or don't wash your hands, stay home please!) Our axes and games have been sanitized, and our bar is stocked with new brews! We're especially excited to showcase Double Valkyrie by @chathambrewing.
Reservations today and throughout the weekend can be made through our online shop found here: www.theyardalbany.com/shop
If you're planning to come play, save time on check-in by reviewing and signing our waiver in advance, also found on our website: www.theyardalbany.com/waiver

We've been doing soft openings since January and everyone who has visited in that time have raved about the space and service we provide.
If we had to choose the top two comments that people make when they come in, they would be, 1. This place is so cozy!, and 2. This place is so clean and smells fresh!
We intend to keep it that way.
We take fun and safety seriously at The Yard. So, as we prepare for our grand opening and contend with coronavirus, we are implementing some additonal procedures here to aid the health of our guests and staff.
First and foremost, everyone will be required to use hand sanitizer before handling our axes or lawn games.
Secondly, we will step up our cleaning procedures here so that all hard surfaces are disinfected mutiple times throughout the day by our staff.
And last, but certainly not least, multiple hand sanitizing stations will be installed throughout The Yard early next week, AND we are harnessing the power of nanotechnology by having self-cleaning surfaces installed on the handles of our entrances/exits and doorways.
We appreciate everyone who has come in to visit, and look forward to seeing new faces at our grand opening this weekend!

It's Sunday Funday at The Yard! Axe throwing and 2 lawn games going at once. Men v. Women. Needless to say, there's a lot of trash talk going on in here!

There was some serious strategizing going on here last night with this game of Kubb.
The fun continues tonight at The Yard! We're open, so come on down and visit us!

We're open today at 5 p.m. We've got a summer like atmosphere, axe throwing, lawn games, and a full bar including this kickass cabernet sauvignon by Juggernaut. It is an amazing red from California. One glass and you will be hooked. Come enjoy a glass on our porch swing.
Can't make it tonight? No worries. We're open again this Saturday at 3!
