On June 24th, we had our soft opening for the newest location of The Yard Milkshake Bar – National Harbor! From the first day of the soft opening to the grand opening June 28th-30th, passerbyers found themselves wandering in to taste our one-of-a-kind milkshakes. Couples, families, and travelers alike filled the lobby and even the streets as our new crew filled everyone’s orders.
Any feelings of crabbiness were pinched away as patrons got to experience the Don’t Be Crabby, National Harbor’s exclusive milkshake! This ode to Maryland milkshake features Sea Salt Caramel ice cream with red & yellow marshmallow drizzle in an Old Bay® infused chocolate iced jar rolled in crushed cone. Expertly topped with a brownie, whipped cream, two white chocolate crab claws, yellow sprinkles, crushed OREO® cookies, red marshmallow drizzle, and two candy eyes.
With such an eclectic mix of flavors, just reading about this shake simply isn’t enough! The savory and sweet elements pair in a harmonious relationship, much like this location’s effect on the area. Only a unique development like National Harbor can harvest such unforgettable experiences and joy! As every day of the opening went on, it was clear they have begun to make their mark on the community.
