Truck Yard, the dog- and kid-friendly beer garden featuring free live music, opened Monday in Alliance Town Center, three years after it announced plans for Fort Worth.

The two-acre site at 3101 Prairie Vista Drive has yard games, lawn chairs, fire pits, vintage RVs, a Ferris wheel, and, of course, a rotation of food trucks. The outdoor space surrounds a 7,500-square-foot “West Texas pole barn” featuring a long bar serving craft cocktails and local beer, including from Second Rodeo Brewing, the company’s brewery. A menu is coming soon, but the Truck Yard will feature its own cheesteak and nacho truck, according to a release.

But don’t expect to catch the Cowboys at the bar. There are no TVs.

Truck Yard is for disconnecting from technology and reconnecting with your friends, family or that first date,” a post on its website reads. “We have purposefully taken away TV distraction to facilitate the telling of that old story or creating a new one.”

Hours are 11 a.m. to 12 am. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Other Truck Yard locations are in Dallas, The Colony and Houston.
