Last week Yard House hosted the arrival of 250 kegs and over 4,000 gallons of beer during it’s infamous Keg Day, a company ritual that takes place just days before Yard House opens at the Domain.  Yard House will open its doors on Saturday, May 14 at 11am.

 

 

Yard House, helped to revolutionize the craft beer movement when the restaurant first opened in 1996 along the waterfront in Long Beach, California. The new location will feature 130 tap handles that includes a list of favorite domestic and international beers enhanced with 44 regional craft beer offerings brewed by 29 iconic Texas breweries.

 

In addition, five handles will be reserved for the restaurant’s Chalkboard Series, a selection of small, limited releases from mostly craft brewers that rotate monthly keeping the selection both innovative and fresh.  These featured beers are listed on a digital chalkboard prominently displayed above the island bar.

 

Yard House has also added three new regional spirits from behind the bar, including Balcones Baby Blue, Blue Corn Whiskey; Deep Eddy Ruby Red Vodka; and Rebecca Creek Whiskey.
One of Yard House’s signature architectural features is the glass-enclosed keg room holding over 4,000 gallons of beer kept at a consistent temperature that ranges from 34 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit.  Kegs are tagged, dated, assigned a tap handle, and placed on the beer head awaiting doors to open next Saturday at 11am when five miles of individual beer lines encased in stainless steel will carry the chilled liquid to the signature island bar.

Austin-brewed beers that will be offered at Yard House at the Domain include:

 

  • 4th Tap Co-Op Long Walk Grapefruit
  • (512) Nitro Pecan Porter
  • (512) Wit
  • Adelbert’s Travelin’ Man
  • Austin Beerworks Black Thunder

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
