If you know someone that works there, or take their tour, they've got an interesting rec-room on the second floor, with a bar, billiards table, juke box, and really sticky floors from all of the brewing-related love-juice.

Funny anecdote: I was once talking to Sam Calagione, the owner and founder of Dogfish Head, and he mentioned that he was once in a rap group. While chilling at the Yards rec-room, I was flipping through their juke box, and THEY HAD SAM CALAGIONE'S RAP ALBUM! Hillarious. All of his raps/songs are about brewing beer, and, no offense to him, he should probably stick to what he's good at: brewing beer.
