Pittsburgh – December 8, 2016 – American comfort food with a twist will soon be on the menu at the Galleria of Mt. Lebanon. The Yard – An American Gastropub plans to open its fourth and largest location in March 2017 on the top floor of one of Pittsburgh’s most popular shopping malls.
The Yard at the Galleria will have a similar industrial look as the other three locations in Shadyside, Market Square and PPG Paints Arena, with refurbished wood and exposed brick and stone. The restaurant will hold 160 seats inside and roughly 100 outside on the patio.
The Yard is known for its comfort food concept, highlighted by crowd pleasers like the Gourmet Grilled Cheese. In addition, they have an extensive draft and bottle selection with over 50 beers on tap, as well as a wide-ranging wine and spirit list. Focusing on sourcing local is important to owners David Ondik, Mike Allen and Nirav Patel, and they continue to purchase a good majority of their foods from local vendors.
“The expressions on our guests’ faces when they see the grilled cheese, soup and chips come out to their tables is why we do this. Nothing makes us happier,” said David Ondik. “Our portions are huge, and everyone loves the large variety of 28 different gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. Watching people say the names of the sandwiches is also a real treat. I mean, who doesn’t love saying Smack Yo Mama, Mac Attack, or the Big Chewbowski?”
“The Yard fits perfectly with the Galleria’s vision as one of the region’s premiere shopping, dining and entertainment venues,” said Jason Cannon, Vice President with CBRE Retail Brokerage Services, who handles the leasing of the property.
“The owners are always looking for opportunities to grow The Yard brand, both locally and in other cities,” said associate Carey Miklos of CBRE, who is representing The Yard in their search for new locations.
