As the wait time to get in this pub will try even the most seasoned of footsies.\r

The food is exceedingly pedestrian, but there are two amazing reasons to come back to Yard House in toney Merrick Park: first, the selection of speciality draught beers is staggering, simply staggering. At over 100, they bowl all their competitors away. And then there's David, the best waiter I've had in Miami in years. His knowledge of the beers on tap is phenomenal, being a self-described beer snob, as is his solicitude as a server.\r
\r
The names of the beers are a hoot. They sound as if a disgruntled co-worker or an ex named them in a fit of pique: Stone Arrogant Bastard ale, Grand Teton Bitch Creek, Hollywood Blonde, Old Speckled Hen.\r

There is no one on God's green earth that will pass up having a sip of a Stone Arrogant Bastard. Highly recommended.
