Euclid Avenue Yacht Club Reviews

We stop here every time we're headed to the Variety. It's a dive bar with diverse clientele, a few TVs if you need to catch the score (but they're not the center of the world), an interesting and affordable tap selection and good staff. They get really busy, so as noted elsewhere, it helps to order everything up front, but they are pretty attentive and get the order right. On this visit, they were packed, so the kitchen staff came out and began waiting tables -- they were great too! And they can laugh -- had a pretty fun display of their trailer park gingerbread houses over the holidays.

It has been a while since I’ve been to the Yacht Club and a group of 6 of us went Saturday night after hours of drinking at another bar. This is usually dangerous but the Yacht Club is fine with anyone who staggers through the door and that is part of its charm. People call it a dive bar and it is, but in a good way. I always think it is a good thing to find local people in the bar as that means it has a following. I had a few well-made Moscow Mules (served in a pint glass which was wrong but good) and some seriously strong rum and cokes. We also got some loaded tater tots to share with the table which were great. The drinks are strong and cheap and there is some great people watching there both inside and on the street especially on a late Saturday. The smoke can get a little thick at times as it is allowed inside, but hey it’s Little 5 Points. We’ll be back!

The staff at this bar is top notch A+. From the management to the barback, everyone is so accommodating and friendly. Best bar in L5P by far.

Was getting the Atlanta tour from a local and guided to this place twice in one weekend. I can see why. The funky nautical vibe is not your average bar. It's way more pub than dive but never the less it's a cool scene for drinks and heard the food is on the mark as well. My first hand experience was with a comfortable atmosphere, cold beers and lively conversation. This place rocks. Drinks are fairly priced, too.

Nice beer selection, friendly patrons, and a cool place to beat the Atlanta heat with a cold drink in hand. Half of the place is non-smoking, but no doors to separate the halves. Check it out if you are in the little 5 points area. Note: Since Atlanta is not near any body of water that supports Yachts, it is not really a club per say. Just a funky name.

Maybe we just caught it at a good time but this bar was a nice, quiet escape from the crowded bars nearby between lunch and dinner. After we had been there for an hour, it started to fill up though. The bar staff was friendly and even offered to hold back the last 2 cans of the beer I was drinking since they were about to run out. The patrons in the bar seemed laid back and we enjoyed a few hours here watching Colombia beat Uruguay.

You have to try the BBQ egg rolls, they are awesome. The staff was super friendly and atmosphere is great. It is in an interesting neighborhood. Make sure you pay for your parking at the meter.

I love this place. Service, food, people watching at window seat. Amazing. Thanks again for a great meal and environment. Highly recommend!

Very off-beat, great food. Brunswick stew, where else can you get it homemade? Local hangout with a local atmosphere, been there for years and years.

I was staying one night in the area (Poncey-Highland) and was overwhelmed by the restaurant choices along Ponce De Leon, N. Highland Ave and, of course, throughout LFP. It was a though decision but after some wandering about I decided this was the place for dinner. What a great decision! The ambiance and decor was from another era; staff and regulars were laid back and the place appeared to be frozen in time--maybe the late 1960s or early 1970s. The sidewalk chalk board listing daily specials caught my eye; how could I go wrong with a dish called a Cincinnati Three Way? Best plate of pasta ever--down to the kitchy oyster cracker garnish! Incredibly helpful & chatty waitress recommended a local dark ale which was perfect! Learned a lot about the 'hood and my hotel; also picked up a great lodging tip for my next trip here.

I met up with some Atlanta friends to see Patti Smith at the Variety Theater. Immediately after the show, a ton of people from the theater headed straight to the Yacht Club for late night drinks and food. Most of the people in the place were locals, and it was hipster-funky crowd. The bar is not too big, but its not too small, either. There are large and small tables, a few bar height tables, and a dark, boozy, dive bar feel to it. It was like a college bar from the 1980's, with lots of different beers on tap. I had the veggie quesadilla, which was delicious, One of my friends ordered the sweet potato tater tots, and all she got was a plastic basket of less then 20 tots. Her food cost almost as much as mine, but I received 10x the amount of food, so order carefully.

Very good pub with a good selection of national beer!nice place, nice people and very good food choise!personaly i love the BBQ burrito associate to a iced stagional Pumpinkg beer!for sure i'll cooming back

We had tickets for the "Variety Playhouse" later that evening (pretty much across the street) and thought we were early (5:30pm) when we walked into the Yacht Club for a drink and a bite to eat. We were mistaken. Luckily nobody sat at the reading table upfront, near the window, so we, the 4 of us, took over one end of the table. Soon we were joined by a handful of locals trying to finish the days crossword in the newspaper. Was this ever a funny bunch. In the mean time an endless line of interesting characters past by on the other side of the window. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that this tavern is awfully cozy and right smack in the center of "little five points". It's very cozy, staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful in deterring drink and food. I had the Philly cheese and my wife the brisket. Both were excellent. By the time we left it was standing room only. We love this place!!!!!!!!

Great people watching. Relaxed, friendly environment. Service was great. Had a few beers and some sliders before a show. Food was great and came out quickly. Highly recommend.

Laid back and cozy, this is my favorite bar in Atlanta. Tucked into Little Five Points, this is clearly a locals haunt and hints at the many amazing times it has seen. A place to go grab some drinks and actual good unpretentious food, the staff rocks. We enjoyed the food (quesadillas and Philly), the tots are supreme and the service was outstanding. A must go. If you drink with your pinky hoisted in the air or appreciate sterile spots with no character, steer clear - this is not for you. Otherwise, have a great time.

I've been coming to the EAYC since Don(RIP) & Hippie opened the place over 25 years ago. Even slammed a few nails in the paneling during construction. Or was slam nailed to the floor.. Either way - the locals and the staff make it on big happy family and a great reason to come back again and again and again

I was visiting from out of town so I asked someone where the locals go and they recommended this place. The food was reasonably priced and the drinks were definitely not weak! The canned beer prices were pretty cheap for the tall boys. The atmosphere was great as well.

Great spot in the heart of Little Five Points. Some people bring children in but I would not recommend it. One side can get pretty smoky. Beer prices are very reasonable and the food is actually really good. Get the tater tots! Perfect spot for people watching...there's a large window often open to the street on nice days. And always something to see in L5P. Around the holidays, don't miss the gingerbread house contest - hilarious.

The almost surreal atmosphere is full of neighborhood characters. Drinks, cocktails, and beer are in abundance. In the kitchen, must try the New Brunswick Stew (with tater tots) and the house made Beef Brisket. Hippie and the crew will take care of you. Play some darts with the locals and have fun.

I'd be willing to try it again, but really didn't care for my food.

A great selection of people in a compact and memorabilia filled bar that serves an interesting variety of beers and has a small and specialised selection of freshly made food . Full of eccentricity (in the nicest possible way). It looks very popular with five point locals. Staff are friendly, nothing is too much trouble and you won't go thirsty! Its well worth the visit to five points to enjoy this gem in the evenings...

Surprising find during an impromptu visit to Little Five Points for a late Sunday lunch with our adult son. The brisket was tender and the Mac and cheese thick and creamy. Our son had the Mac Daddy burger, topped with Mac and cheese. Good selection of beers on tap in a funky setting. Very reasonably priced. Recommended!

We went for a quick bite before a show at the Variety Playhouse. Typical bar fare was pretty good. When you get your waitress, make sure your order as you may not see her often. While it did not seem busy the night were there, she seemed to disappear for a while.
