The Yard Brewery and Smokehouse, home to Yard Kings Brewing Co.
Visit our tap house bar in Morisset, serving dangerously drinkable craft beers and low 'n' slow cooked meats from our onsite smokehouse. Meat taster plates, loaded fries, nachos, smoked kransky dog and brisket burgers are just a few highlights from our mouth-watering menu.
Kick-back and enjoy the relaxed vibe with live music every weekend.
Looking for somewhere intimate and cosy to hang out? Venture upstairs to our adults-only area "The Deck", enjoy our range of brews and cocktails in comfy chairs with a view of over the brewery below.
Walk-ins are welcome and encouraged, so if your desired date appears 'booked out'. Don't be discouraged. Only half of tables are available to book in advance.

    The food was nice but drowned in sauce, way too heavy handed on the sauce which spoilt the flavour of the food. I couldn’t even eat my salad as it was too drenched in sauce so that was a waste of $24. The chips were excellent as was the dill sauce which was on the side…thankfully! It’s a really nice venue and great staff but the singer on today sounded bad, the sound was echoing and so much base it was hard to listen to, couldn’t even hear the singers voice over the feedback, ruined the ambience. I’m sure he’s usually a good singer but there was something wrong with the sound or his equipment. Couldn’t wait to get out of there today. I usually love sticking around for a while but not today sadly.

    We visited the Yard Kings Brewery and Smokehouse today. Great atmosphere with live music and a variety of options for seating, inside and out. The food was fresh, great value for $$$ and service was very friendly. We had the Pulled Pork Nacho's, The Pulled Pork Burger, The Southern Fried Chicken Burger and the Special of the day, Pulled Pork Pizza. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and would recommend it to everyone. Check out my post on Ig @ratingtheplates FB ratingtheplates And Tiktok ratingtheplates

    Venue is awesome but the food was below average. We ordered a side of coleslaw which was so dry I asked for extra dressing and the loaded fries were hardly loaded which you were basically paying $22 for chips with a tiny serve of brisket and sauce. Old mate that was playing the guitar was great but it was just a tad to loud so you were unable to hear your conversation. I wouldn't rush back to this venue.

    Pleasant night out. Food was good, atmosphere was really excellent. Overall service was good just small details like delivery cutlery to the top floor would have been appreciated.
