The Yard: Sports Bar & Hatchet House — Restaurant in City of Albany

I came here as a work event and Chris, the manager working our event knocked it out of the Park helping our group with the food trays we ordered and our individual drink orders. I tried a Berry the Hatchet and Chris was able to sub in Rum for the base drink and it was super tasty. I was then particularly delighted with my Motherpucker drinks made with the hard cider Nine Pin base and sorbet. Corn hole and hatchet throwing (please be advised to sign their waiver upon selecting axe throwing!) and I had such an amazing time with my coworkers and had that much better of a time because Chris took special care to work magic to make our event that much better. Well done! 10/10 would come back if in the area. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely recommend a swing on the swings! Please note. If you have gotten to the Knick apartments, you've walked too far. The Yard is on the corner with the amazing outdoor veranda and axes on the sign....

We hosted an event here this past weekend and we had a great time. Great atmosphere and overall vibe! Our host was amazing (wish I remember his name). Brianna who coordinated was amazing. 2/5 stars for caterer they use.

The yard itself 5/5!! If you host an event here go with The Yards food and not the caterer they recommend called 518 Market. Our group of 30 was dwindled down to 19 due to the storm and food still ran out. Half trays for a party of 30 doesn't work and for $660 we did not even get plates for the food. Had our whole party showed up, we would have had to order pizzas or something. The caterer was punctual and the food was ready (somewhat dry) and certain items were tasty, like the beef.

I would 100% host and event here again.....their food of course! Little hidden...

Chris and the other woman who was working the night of 9/16 (I unfortunately didn't catch her name) were so accommodating when we had to cut the attendance of our event almost half the day before, and also had to start much later than we anticipated. They went above and beyond for us multiple times- at one point our friend had been trying to find parking in Albany for over 30 min, and the woman who had set up our food for us kindly offered to get on the phone with our friend and direct them to potential parking spots, and it worked! The food and drinks were great, the vibe was chill, and the games were super fun :) Will def be going back with a...
