The Lodge at The Yards socially-distant outdoor dining experience

Following the sold-out success of Glamp Yards in October, The Yards, DC’s most exciting waterfront neighborhood for living, dining, shopping and relaxing, is bringing back the socially-distanced curated dining experience with a new twist. While it may not be cold enough to ski, The Yards will host a socially-distanced après ski-themed area called The Lodge at The Yards, which will accommodate 2-4 guests each. Similar to Glamp Yards, the instagram-worthy individual areas will feature alpine-chic decor and cozy seating in an exclusive section of the Sun Deck. Special snacks and drinks only available for Lodge patrons from several of The Yards’ restaurants will round out the rustic experience – no skis, boots or lift passes required!

Lodge seating is available by reservation only and can be reserved for 90-minute windows for the evening on Friday, November 20th and during the day on Saturday, November 21st and Sunday, November 22nd. 

On Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10:00am-11:30am, Lodge reservations will be kid and parent-friendly with safe, socially-distanced activities for young ones within the Lodge area. Now the whole family can enjoy a cozy outdoor experience with no waiting in line for ski lifts!

Reservations include snack boxes and drinks from a variety of restaurants in three different tiers: 

  • Trail Run (serves 2 guests) – $50 
  • Back Country (serves 4 guests) – $100
  • Double Black Diamond (serves up to 4 guests with additional exclusive treats) – $150

At the time of your reservation, you will pick up drink and snack boxes from your restaurant of choice and head to your Lodge seating area to relax and enjoy. Guests can also purchase items from other participating restaurants from The Yards via QR codes at their lodge site.
