Zack Medford has been in the Raleigh nightlife scene for more than a decade, opening bars like Isaac Hunter's Tavern in his 20s, as well as Coglin's, Parliamentand Paddy O'Beers. Within the first year of the pandemic he had closed or sold them all. '2020 hit us really hard,' Medford said. 'When you don't have any income for an entire year straight it's impossible to stay in business.' Now Medford is back with his first new bar in years, opening Tap Yard Raleigh, a massive beer garden near downtown, off Capital Boulevard.
