Weekends were made for burgers and drinks with friends! If we’re being honest, any night is perfect for a juicy burger. The only thing to make a huge burger with all the fixings even better is knowing you’ve got dessert coming next. And the only thing better than that is if you can combine the two! This spot in Portland offers milkshakes that are good enough to be dessert, but with the added twist of alcohol, they’re made for any time.
The Yard in Portland is one of our favorite places for burgers, drinks and fun.

They’re best known for their live music, rocking bar scene and great unexpected burger combinations. The rueben smash is a great example. This burger comes with grilled corned beef and sauerkraut on a grilled bun with thousand island dressing. It’s the perfect, messy combo.

We also love their BBQ smashed burger topped with pickles and smoked brisket. As you can imagine, these meals are huge.

They also offer plenty of sides, appetizers and bar food. And the best way to enjoy it all? With a boozy milkshake on the side, of course!

They’re all prepared with Tipsy Scoop™ ice cream. Infused with alcohol, this ice cream allows The Yard to create a thick, creamy milkshake that doesn’t get watered down by adding alcohol into the glass. Pictured here is a boozy espresso and caramel espresso frozen frappucinno.
