![]() ![]() Grilled Korean Beef Short Rib with spicy green papaya, green onion, sriracha aioli and chili threads – tender, sweetness of the Korean marinade, all married beautifully together. Some of the more popular dishes include a Carnitas Stack with a fried egg over the top and melted cheddar cheese as well as the creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup. Once we cleaned up the mess, we decided it was time to get some food into our stomachs. OOPS!! Poor Art had beer running down his leg, and our camera bag smelled like it was laundered in hops from a brewery. Now they have half-yard sized glasses, which I still managed to clumsily knock over with my menu. Our attentive waitress, Jessica, shared they stopped serving the signature “Yard” glass of beer as it became troublesome when people would topple them over. ![]() We see a lot of business people, families, and friends coming here to try the more than 121 different beers we have on tap,” Drew said. “People come to the Yard House for a great experience. Drew has been with the Pasadena restaurant since it first opened up for business 12 years ago in the outdoor upscale shopping center of Paseo Colorado. ![]() With classic rock and roll playing in the background, we sat down in a roomy booth by a window and had a chance to talk with General Manager Drew Emralino. We enjoyed the selection of dishes from standard bar food of chicken wings and nachos to other interesting choices like Poke stacks and Korean BBQ Short Rib Tacos. Second, the selection of beers (about 120 in total at the Pasadena Yard House) makes it hard to get bored or not find a beer to your liking. First, the vibe is cool, open spaced, and wait staff super friendly. Since Yard House recently invited us to escape the heat and experience the restaurant, I realized I love happy hours for ALL of the reasons mentioned above, and the Yard House delivered on every front. What do you like best about happy hour? Is it the discounted prices on food and drinks? Or, do you feel a little naughty inside because it is almost like day drinking? Or, is it the informal camaraderie with co-workers and friends after a long work week? Whatever the case, the Yard House restaurant features a great selection of appetizers, American and craft beers, wine by the glass, specialty cocktails and more.

I enjoy a good steak, but what if I’m not up for 1-1/4 lbs. For Choice meat, I’ll just shop at Safeway. They only offer two steaks: a 20-oz bone-in rib eye for $36 and an 8-oz filet for $32, and neither one is USDA Prime. but surprisingly, I couldn’t find anything I really wanted. And noisy! Maybe it’s just post-pandemic pricing, but the menu is expensive! And it’s not top quality, either. It’s a place for young adults and drinking. My wife and I have been here before (pre-pandemic) and decided we’d go again.
