Welcome New Laguna Beach Businesses: Yard Bar Patio Restaurant Now Open
With help from the Laguna Beach City Council's new Economic Recovery and Business Development plan, making it easier for businesses to open outdoor areas within the City, the Yard Bar Patio Restaurant has opened on Forest Avenue!
The Yard Bar is located in the outdoor courtyard space formerly occupied by The Grove, and offers appetizers, drinks and live music.
The Yard Bar is a little brother to the nearby Lumberyard restaurant, whose owners say City Councilmember Sue Kempf was instrumental in helping them open Yard Bar so quickly.
