Shawmut Design and Construction has completed construction of Yard House Restaurant on Brookline Avenue in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood.
Designed by MBH Architects, Yard House features two large bars: one located in the heart of the restaurant and another on a four-season patio. The main bar features 150 beers on tap, which are each fed through temperature-controlled lines. The keg room and kitchen are open to the dining area to create a sense of transparency throughout the restaurant.
The restaurant features an urban and industrial design which includes stainless steel, concrete and stone finishes. Garage doors surround the four season patio, which also features large stainless steel fans hung from the ceiling. The outdoor space includes two glass fire pits, and affords views of nearby Fenway Park. BD+C
