Alameda, California-based firm MBH Architects has completed Yard House Cincinnati. Housed in a 14,000-square-foot freestanding property, the restaurant boasts an industrial-chic design.


To maximize views, the restaurant offers 514 indoor and 199 outside seats overlooking Bengals’ Paul Brown Stadium and the Ohio River. The team drew inspiration from the locale by crafting a dark space with rusted and hammered metal, wood, and concrete⎯⎯all balanced with refined millwork and stainless steel. 


The palette of darker, cooler tones is complemented by vibrant original artwork, including pieces by contemporary artist Jerome Gastaldi which reference the Bengals and other local sports teams.
In keeping with Yard House’s brand, the restaurant also has a central bar with perimeter booth seating, and a visible keg room with beer conduits running back towards the bar.
