Yard House opens at HOU as concessions overhaul continues

National brand brings ‘world’s largest selection of draft beer’ and full-service dining to the Central Concourse.

Dec 22, 2025

Travelers moving through the Central Concourse at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) now have a new sit-down dining option as Yard House officially opens its doors between Gates 25 and 26. The restaurant is part of the Houston Airports multi-phase concessions transformation at Hobby, which is reshaping the airport’s food and beverage mix with a focus on recognizable brands, expanded seating and full-service concepts designed to serve passengers throughout the day.

Yard House is known nationally for its large draft beer program and a broad, contemporary American menu. At HOU, the restaurant features a full bar lined with dozens of rotating taps, alongside indoor seating and bar seating positioned directly along the concourse, allowing passengers to dine without having to stray far from their gate.

The menu includes burgers, sandwiches, salads and shareable plates, with options available from late morning through the evening. Televisions mounted throughout the space give it the feel of a neighborhood sports bar, while the open layout keeps sightlines clear for boarding announcements and foot traffic. The opening marks another milestone in Hobby’s broader concessions refresh, which has rolled out in phases to minimize disruption while expanding choices for passengers. Houston Airports has emphasized full-service dining, improved seating capacity and a balance of national brands and local concepts as core goals of the program. Additional concessions are expected to open in 2026 as the transformation continues across Hobby Airport.
