The Yard: Hatchet House and Bar: Reviews & Ratings
The Bartender, Chris, is the coolest dude. He saw to it personally that we had an amazing time and made the best drinks. Super fun place to go for dates, to make friends, and to have a fun time!
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. Cheers!!
The Yard is such a fun and inviting atmosphere. It is one of our favorite local finds to frequent. Chris and the rest of the staff are just absolutely wonderful and we cannot recommend this place highly enough to all of our friends
This was the second time I have axed thrown and I enjoyed myself very much. Chris was a great coach and made a hell of a drink (pictured). The summer is a lean time for them so let's show some love by ensuring we go out and support this establishment. Great vibe and I love the interior and exterior of the spot. Brings a new meaning to The Yard!!! Enjoy yourself and invite me. Tell em Vin Vin sent you I'm tryna see something. Deuces, Vin Vin
Chris was working and he took his time showing us how to throw the axes. Plus he made a great lavender cocktail and snacks.I highly recommend you visit The Yard!!
If I lived in Albany you would see me here every weekend I’m sure. Great vibes, great drinks and snacks, great service. I didn’t want to axe throw, but the swings were fun and it was cool to watch the others throw their axe
“The Yard: Hatchet House and Bar” is an incredible spot for a fun night out with friends, offering a lively and welcoming atmosphere. While ax throwing is the main attraction, they also feature a variety of lawn games like cornhole, beer pong, and ladder ball, adding to the entertainment options. The drink menu is impressive, with a solid selection of beer, wine, and cocktails, and there are tasty snack items to keep you fueled. The space is large and well-maintained, with clean facilities and a friendly staff that makes the experience even better. It’s a great place to unwind and try something new!
I went here with some friends, had some drinks and had overall a great time. The staff were friendly and helpful. This was my first experience axe throwing ANYWHERE, and I was terrible at it but still had fun! I also really enjoyed my beer which was an IPA. This feels like a cool space to hangout for Cornhole, axe throwing, or just chilling at the bar too. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and it's not a very big space, so it wasn't too loud or crowded even on a Saturday evening.
