    Patio dining was partially full. Perhaps they were understaffed, but the server was clearly flustered and unfamiliar with the current menu and what the kitchen had to offer. Salads were fine. Patio was large and clean.

    Had the tacos on their Patio Party, they were soooo delicious, very close to the real thing (and Im Mexican), even the salsas. Worth it!!!! Ambiance: very nice inside, comfortable to have a group gathering since they have lots of games to entertain, and nice music. Price: Fair Give it a try if you are in the area :)

    The French dip was the best I've ever had anywhere. Half priced bottles of wine on Sunday was a good price for a premium wine. So many games. Right now it's not well known so it is great to be able to hear people at your table. No yelling required.

FAQs

Yes, Southland Yard can be a fun, casual choice for a date night, especially if you like lively atmosphere and activities. Guests praise attentive servers, tasty cocktails and the option to grab a quiet booth for a more intimate experience. Expect an energetic, sometimes noisy vibe (great for a playful evening) and lots of games and music. For a quieter date, aim for an early seating or request a booth when you book.

Portions at Southland Yard are generous, guests frequently call the servings large and good value. Several guests specifically praised the huge portions on the Sunday roast and the plentiful burgers and bar snacks. If you like hearty comfort-food plates or want to share dishes while you play games, you’ll likely leave satisfied.

Southland Yard’s hours are: Mon–Wed and Sun 10:00 am–11:00 pm; Thu–Sat 10:00 am–1:00 am. If you’re planning late-night games or cocktails, weekends stay open later. It’s a good idea to check ahead for special events or holiday hours.

It depends on what you want: go on Sunday for the popular Sunday roast and half-priced bottles of wine, guests rave about value and food. Happy hour and trivia nights draw crowds and lively energy, while early evenings or weekday visits are likely quieter. If you prefer a more relaxed visit, aim for an early seating or a weekday afternoon.

Southland Yard offers a mix of seating and activity spaces: a large patio, game areas (bocce court, pool table, board games), booths and typical bar/table seating. The venue also accepts private parties, so party or group layouts are available by request. If you need a specific setup, call ahead to reserve the best spot.

The atmosphere is lively, fun and social, think upbeat music, lots of games and an energetic bar scene. Guests frequently describe it as a great spot for groups, birthdays and trivia nights, though it can get very noisy.

There’s no explicit public waiting-list policy available, but guests report busy nights and occasional short delays even with reservations. The restaurant accepts reservations and private-party bookings, so for busy evenings (trivia, happy hour, Sunday roast) it’s wise to reserve ahead or call the host to confirm to avoid waits.

Busiest: trivia nights, weekend evenings, happy hour and the popular Sunday roast, guests note lively crowds and high noise levels. Quietest: weekday daytime or early evening slots, or less-promoted times when the venue is easier to hear at your table. If you prefer lower noise, aim for earlier reservations on weekdays.

Sunday is a standout, guests rave about the Sunday roast and half-priced bottles of wine. If you want trivia or a lively crowd, go during trivia nights or weekend evenings. For a quieter experience, choose a weekday early evening. Pick the day that matches your mood: Sundays for roast, weekends for late-night fun, weekdays for calmer visits.
