CROWD: Mon-Thurs The Yard welcomes an intelligent and attractive afterwork and evening drinks crowd, often a venue of choice for gay networking events and social gatherings. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and intimate with background rather than over whelming pumping house and lounge music. Come the weekend the ties come off and the pecs come out as the Yard revs up the gears and becomes Soho venue of choice for the smart, toned and sexy! Regular guest DJs play the freshest vocal house and the air is alive with excitement, laughter and testosterone!
Finally the mercury is rising, the sun is emerging and the coats are scarfs are coming off.
The start of summer is officially here and where better to begin a long leisurely summer than with a cold pint, good friends, beautiful surroundings and plenty of eye candy – The Yard!
The Yard is the only alfresco venue in Soho allowing the customers the comfort of a large open air courtyard space within which they can while away the hours, soaking up the sun, taking in the ambience not be jostled about in a cramped and crowded airless bar. Customer can choose between 3 distinct spaces each with its own individuality as well as 2 specially crafted outside areas to enjoy.
The Yard has recently undergone a major transformation adding a bespoke decking area within the central courtyard to allow for more comfortable tabled seating as well as new trees and plantlife. The adjoining alfresco bar, which can open fully to allow freedom and easy transition between the two ensuring that this busy and vibrant space never gets uncomfortably crowded, has benefitted from the inclusion of new improved seating and a refresh of the toilets.
Upstairs in the loft bar, a popular space for party bookings with its own outside smoking balcony, looking down over the courtyard, the bar has been completely transformed to include new boothed seating, increased floor space, intimate knooks and crannys perfect for escaping into with someone special, improved lighting and toilets.
The Yard offers a full and varied drinks menu so whether you tipple is wine, beer or something stronger we have something to suit every palate, and at some of the most competitive prices in town.
As sister venue to the Edge on Soho Square, open til 3am, we are a great starting off point offering free entry and 2-4-1 wristbands allowing you to complete your night out in style dancing away at The Edge.
This (and next) Bank Holiday come and see what everyone is talking about and join us in the sunshine!
Tables and booths can be reserved, free, for your party, comfort or convenience. Simply drop us a line or an email, our contact details are below!
Cheers!
