Sip Yard Port Aransas is more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s an experience that embodies Port Aransas’ laid-back, coastal charm. The outdoor venue was conceived three years ago by a group of five ambitious guys ready to change Port A’s dining and bar landscape and add something new to the area for locals and tourists.
“Condos are popping up everywhere, and the wait time for food runs about 2-3 hours,” said co-owner Daniel Johnson. “We wanted to provide an option where you can eat, drink and relax without the wait.”
In June, Johnson, Kelby McCan, Jason Wood, David Glover and Bron Doyle proudly opened the doors to the newest must-visit, family-friendly venue in Port Aransas.
The three-story venue features six restaurants—all on the base floor—with a bar, plenty of seating, weekly live music lineups and stunning views. The second story serves as a space for adults aged 21 and over, with a bar for them to hang out; and the third story is an observation deck, which is available for event rental, with a perfect view of the bay.
Thirsty? You’re in luck. At Sip Yard, the beer is always ice-cold and the frozen margaritas are bursting with flavor. Sip Yard offers a variety of beer options, including draft brews from Nueces Brewing, wine, liquor-based drinks, piňa coladas and frozen margaritas.
The Dark and Stormy—crafted with Kraken rum, fresh lime juice and a zesty ginger beer—offers a bold and refreshing twist on the classic Moscow Mule, while the Sip Yard Rita combines frozen Jose Cuervo 100% agave tequila with your choice of fruit flavor and a Paula’s Orange floater for a burst of Texas flavor. Maybe let the coastal vibes engulf you by sipping on a Deep Blue, which combines Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka, blue curaçao, sweet and sour and a splash of Sprite for a vibrant and tangy treat that’s as refreshing as it is colorful, or choose the Port A Punch, a sweet and potent cocktail made with Flor de Caña rum, fruit juices and topped with Kraken rum.
With its array of dining and drink choices, comfortable seating and relaxed ambiance, Sip Yard is the ideal place for a refreshing drink while enjoying the scenic views and embracing the spirit of Port Aransas.
