Yard & Lake — Restaurant in Leelanau Township

New and cool bar and shop in Northport! Bartenders shaking up legit cocktails. My Blueberry Lavender Mojito was lovely, fresh, refreshing, and perfect. Lots to choose from, beer, cider, cocktails, mocktails and more. Light and airy with a couple garage window doors, opened up for beautiful weather days (like today), think California mid century modern meets beach lite. Breezy. The bar staff was wonderful. Helpful, attentive without hovering. Fun watching the main bartender shaking two cocktails at a time. Big spiggoted jar of cool water with slices of cucumbers and limes provided gratis, a very nice and thoughtful touch.

The connected gift shop has some cool merch, t-shirts, swim shorts and jewelry, plus more. This place is going to be the hit of the summer! Can't wait to come back...

It doesn’t look like this place will last with variable hours and poor customer service. Consistent hours are key to making a restaurant successful. It’s unfortunate because the venue has potential to be great. I would consider a more reliable bartender not one that gets to close when he...

Love this little spot. It’s got a great atmosphere and the owner is so nice! Only issue we had was with the prices for the taco truck. We spent $40 on what we thought was going to be dinner, but had to go get more food from the market after because the value for what you get is not there. The tacos were good, but teeny tiny & not well filled. Will not be going back to...
