Millbury is about to get a whole lot hoppier. Yard House opens a new restaurant next Monday at The Shops at Blackstone Valley, bringing its supersized draft list and globe-trotting menu to the Worcester-Providence Turnpike. The 7,500-square-foot space comes with a 1,500-square-foot outdoor patio and a glass-enclosed keg room built to hold thousands of gallons of beer. Inside, more than 90 beers will be on tap, backing a menu of roughly 80 dishes that runs from poke nachos to USDA prime burgers.
Where and when to go
According to Yard House, the Millbury location will open Monday, June 15 at 70 Worcester-Providence Turnpike in The Shops at Blackstone Valley. The company lists a local phone number and notes that curbside pickup will be available for takeout orders. Hiring listings connected to the chain show multiple open positions at the address, a clear sign the restaurant is staffing up for opening day.
What you'll find inside
As reported by Boston 25 News, the Millbury Yard House will pour more than 90 beers from a glass-enclosed keg room that holds hundreds of steel barrels, with capacity up to roughly 4,000 gallons. Beer will travel to the taps through an overhead tubing system and be served at about 36°F. The outlet also notes that the restaurant’s footprint is roughly 7,500 square feet with a 1,500-square-foot patio, and that the menu spans more than 80 dishes, including gluten-sensitive, vegan, and vegetarian options. Dinner staples and bar favorites mentioned by the outlet include poke nachos, spicy beef garlic noodles, street tacos, and USDA prime burgers, positioning the spot as a summer draw for Central Massachusetts drinkers and diners alike.
Local development and the area
WS Development has been marketing roughly 35,000 square feet of new retail space at The Shops at Blackstone Valley and lists Yard House as the anchor tenant for the expansion. Local coverage notes that the center has been adding national brands, including an Apple store and Coach, as it retools into a larger regional destination. That broader shift is outlined by Patch.
