Pittsburgh’s Yard Gastropub is back in good standing with health officials after resolving violations that prompted a consumer alert earlier this month.
The Allegheny County Health Departmentfirst cited the downtown Fifth Avenue restaurant on July 16, following a complaint investigation that revealed problems with food temperatures and the ambient air temperature in a walk-in cooler.
At that time, inspectors documented several temperature-controlled foods stored above the required 41 degrees and a cooler measuring 51 degrees, triggering the alert and putting the business at risk of closure if the issues weren’t fixed.

The restaurant was given a deadline to correct the violations and underwent a follow-up inspection on July 27. During that reinspection, officials confirmed that the Yard had addressed the temperature and refrigeration problems to the department’s satisfaction. With the violations resolved, the consumer alert was lifted and the gastropub was allowed to continue operating.
