"St. Louis Park is an area with a rich history in beer and has a vibrant culinary scene, which is the perfect combination for our restaurant," spokesman Chris Potter said in a statement quoted by Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal. "The Shops at West End offers us the perfect location to introduce Yard House to Minnesota."

The restaurant will open in the 10,500 square-foot space adjacent to Toby Keith's in early 2014.
