We may have outgrown the jungle gyms at fast food joints years ago, but we can still have fun with our food at these Phoenix bars and restaurants with games.
The Yard
Take a backyard BBQ and plop it next to a gastropub and you’ve got yourself The Yard. Both Yard locations are anchored by Culinary Dropout, known for creative cocktails and high-quality bar grub. After digging into their signature pretzels and provolone fondue (Fair warning: They’re addictive), grab a cocktail and your pals for a few rounds of bag toss, shuffleboard, ping pong, or foosball.
