Harlem's Outdoor Cultural Playground. 43,000 SF at 1361 Amsterdam Ave. Opens July 4, 2026. A We Eat Here production with Janus Property.
Weekly events anchored by the World Cup Final Weekend on July 18–19, Death To Summer on August 29–30, Latin Food Fest on September 12–13, three weekends of Oktoberfest, Halloween Weekend, the WinterShift holiday market, and NYE on Amsterdam Ave.
Underneath every event: a real biergarten, a 24-foot LED screen, a working stage, a VIP lounge, City Winery on the bar, and a rotating food village pulling NYC's best independent operators.
No venue like this exists in NYC. This summer, it does.
Not a tent in a parking lot. A real venue with real infrastructure — built to anchor a permanent biergarten launching April 2027.
At the center of it all is The Golden Tap, an open-air Uptown hangout built with warm wood, black steel, covered shade, and City Winery on the taps. It is part biergarten, part block-party lounge, part "don't text me, I'm here all night" energy. Long tables, cold pours, good music, better people, and the kind of corner that makes staying for one drink a lie.
Transforms the courtyard when the moment calls for it: World Cup Final, US Open, NFL Sundays, fight nights, film nights, game nights, and the kind of big cultural moments people want to watch together. On regular nights, the façade becomes more of a mood than a scoreboard, with projected visuals, animations, digital art, classic clips, games, and Uptown creative energy moving through the space. Not always a sports bar. Not always a cinema. Always a signal.
The courtyard's live wire: a raised performance platform with pro sound, deep bass, and Modus Pro A/V shaping the build. On event weekends, it becomes the room's pulse with DJs, live bands, hosts, cultural moments, sponsor drops, and the kind of Uptown energy you feel before you even see the crowd.
The tucked-away flex: brick walls, soft drapes, lounge seating, bottle service, and direct access to the indoor tasting room. Built for members, private groups, and ticketed buyouts, it gives the venue a more elevated corner without killing the courtyard energy. Less velvet-rope nonsense, more "you know where to be."
1,200 SF of artificial turf. Cornhole, jenga, oversized lawn games. Every event sits on top of this floor.
NYC's best independent operators rotating weekend to weekend.
40-ft linear bar plus VIP service. Full liquor license.
Eclectic merchants rotating every event weekend.
Indoor wine + spirits tastings, all season long.
Weekly events from Independence Day through New Year's Eve. Tickets range $10 – $75 by event. Founding members get first claim and member pricing on every one.
No fixed menu. No locked lineup. Ten eclectic food vendors plus a food truck cycle through the season — curated by event. World Cup days bring global variety. Latin Fest brings the diaspora. Oktoberfest brings German classics. Every operator arrives fully permitted and ready to cook. The food changes by window. The quality stays constant.
City Winery operates the bar — indoors and out — under their full liquor license. Forty feet of linear bar, plus a VIP service station. Throughout the season City Winery brings curated wine tasting events to The Malt Yard, making it an unexpected stop on the NYC wine calendar. Limited-edition beer collabs and tap takeovers run alongside Oktoberfest.
Picnic tables, lawn games, kids zone, and string lights overhead — that's the venue floor. Layered on top: a rotating marketplace with 12–15 eclectic merchants every event, and live music on the 24-foot stage every event weekend. Everything you need to stay all day.
One thousand spots. Sold once. Closes when it's gone.
The MALT YARD is built for activation — from a single weekend product sampling to a season-long title sponsorship to a full-venue corporate buyout. We handle production end-to-end on a venue with full bar, full AV, and a rotating food village already in place.
