Inside the Yard at Mission Rock

On the front page of the newspaper this morning, the Chronicle’s great urban design writer John King profiled the Yard at Mission Rock, the new pop-up village development next to AT&T Park — and the latest and most corporate example of using shipping containers to create bustling public spaces.

At the core of the Yard’s offerings are its food and drink options.

Perhaps fittingly, the food and drink are an accurate representation of the San Francisco food scene in 2015: craft beer, food trucks, and indie vendors reaching new prominence. There are no bone broth cups or acai bowls (…yet; fingers crossed), but there is a kale salad.

And so: Here is the culinary rundown of the Yard, which opens Friday, March 20 at 12 p.m. and going forward, will be open daily:

On one end of the Yard is Off the Grid‘s “Courtyard.” It will the food truck gathering’s first permanent/daily location, and includes two food trucks (Senor Sisig and Proposition Chicken are there currently), a Humphry Slocombe ice cream cart, and a wine bus (yes, a wine bus). There is also a Peet’s Coffee kiosk that will open at 7 a.m. every day.

Moving east through the 13 old shipping containers, a public open space of bleachers and retail apparel store are nestled directly alongside the Courtyard.

Then comes the main attraction:

The Anchor Brewing beer garden, which is flanked by Whole Beast and John Fink’s burgers, poutine and barbecue.

The set-up of the beer garden is similar to that of Biergarten in Hayes Valley (NB: John King points out more parallels with Proxy in his article), wherein beer-seeking individuals order at the bar/counter. Anchor will start with 16 handles featuring its various beers. It’s basically an extension of the brewery tap room, pouring both its greatest hits (Steam, Liberty et al.) and some of its rarer beers, like the new Flying Cloud, the Old Foghorn and the OBA.

To soak up the beer, there will be a full menu from Whole Beast, led by two burger options: A Wagyu beef quarter-pounder ($11) and a lamb burger ($12). For those chillier nights, there will be two kinds of poutine — lamb and mushroom — and from the smoker, there will be St. Louis ribs (four for $12), brisket sandwiches ($14), that ridiculously good lamb gyro ($10) and a pulled pork sandwich ($11). Vegetarians shouldn’t feel left out, because despite the name, Whole Beast has a few salad options, too.

Starting Friday, the Yard is open daily, though individual vendors’ hours vary — and hours will be likely tweaked on game days. For now, the Anchor Brewing beer garden is open from 11am to 9pm, daily. Off the Grid is currently scheduled to be open 11am to 8pm. In the future, there is also talk about a weekly farmers’ market at the Yard.
