Good music. Good food. All welcome.
The Yard is where Raglan’s food, music and community scenes collide — a coastal music cafe and bar tucked down Volcom Lane just off Bow Street, open from morning coffee through to late-night DJ sets. By day it’s a relaxed spot for Raglan Roast espresso, big breakfasts and street-style plates on the leafy outdoor deck. By night the lights drop, the bar opens, and the venue comes alive with live bands, local musicians and visiting international acts. The vibe is unhurried, the food is genuinely good — the smash burgers and beef rendang have earned a serious local following — and the welcome is the kind that turns a quick lunch into an afternoon. It’s the spot in Raglan where you can recharge, reconnect, or stay for the whole show.
