Why people pull up

One courtyard, all day

  • Your desk by day

    Good seats, good light and a craft mocktail while you work.

  • Cocktails by night

    Mixed in house. The full bar when the sun goes down. Happy hour 5pm to 7pm.

  • Events

    Our own nights, and the bar at events hosted at Hackhouse Africa.

  • Food next door

    Food by MLO Café & Kitchen, right beside the courtyard.

Why The Yard

You don't build alone.

You come for the talk, and when it ends everyone scatters. The Yard is the room that keeps your conversation going. Your work in, your ideas out, day into night.

The courtyard where The Yard began, beside Hackhouse

The origin

It started where you gather.

Hackhouse proved you needed a room of your own. The Yard is that room, in the same courtyard where your nights already happen. The first of more to come.

Your talk shouldn't end when the event does.
