The Yacht Club Sports Bar & Grill in Liverpool

A bar in search of an identity I went to a live music event which was delightful

Lovely place. Very friendly and relaxing.

Nice outdoor seating, had a coffee which was nice, staff pleasant. Will be calling in again.

Back to it's best. Love the new look.

Food good value for money, really friendly staff, highly recommend

Good spot for a quick bite. Nice and handy if you are in the Marina area. Menu is basic but covers most of what you would expect from a pub outing and the food was well prepared.

Great little find. Staff were lovely. Breakfasts were fab

Not good to say the least.. how can you serve burnt nachos and dry chicken In a bun?? Is everything fresh or just stuck in a microwave?? Guys you have a great location ???

Good prices on food and drink but sadly no beers from any of the numerous great quality Liverpool breweries. Good breakfasts and a great location for campervans.

Had a lovely breakfast here and was only £8 per breaky, lovely view as well.

I have recently worked here as Hadwin Events with my photobooth The function room is nice and big and light Plenty of space and outdoor seating/views of the water On site parking available, there is also a separate bar/restaurant area which I have visited before

We were on a group trip in Liverpool last week from Jersey staying local to the lovely marina. Our tour guide recommended The Yacht Club for a spot of Sunday lunch so I booked a table for us on the website, only to receive an email saying we can’t eat at 6pm (even though the booking online goes much later than 6pm for that evening) could we please come earlier around 5/5.30pm if possible? so i re-booked our table for 5.30pm as they told us that was a valid time, only to be have it cancelled and told we couldn’t now come for the time they suggested very confusing I must say.

Had a breakfast here this morning absolutely first class would highly recommend this place.

Fabulous little gem of a place! feels like being on holiday when sitting on the terrace on the waterfront. Gorgeous food and great atmosphere! Very affordable too! Will definitely be back xx

Visited the new yacht club may29th 24 for food The staff were very polite and inviting the atmosphere was very relaxed and comforting with the updated decor and soft music in background I ordered the chicken burger and chips and it was spot on Chips were extremely tasty the burger was freshly made and very tasty We will be revisiting

Gorgeous place with lovely views, delicious food with affordable prices. Definitely recommend this place

New bar is open. The staff are lovely. The food is well done for the price point. A welcome return!

Breakfast should have been a treat, but service was dreadful. Over an hour’s wait. Clearly an error has been made & our order has. Even lost. Sadly, none of the staff who drifted around noticed

Good food and wine , friendly service , good views. Would go again

We ate at the now named anchor, newly refurbished and only open 4 days. We had a breakfast and I'll say it was one the best breakfasts we've had. The staff where lovely and polite and price for on the dock where brilliant so will definitely be returning also to try more on the menu. Parking we had to pay for but you took the refund ticket to the bar and they take it off the bill.

Went today first time after refurbishment. Truthfuly could not see much difference. What I will say is the out side tables wernt clean. Servers walked past our table many times without clearing the loads of used glasses left by previos customers. Won't be going again

I visited the Yakhtclub on September 5th, 2023. The venue was very busy, and we had to wait a long time to be served. When I showed the waiter my receipt and car registration number, they told me I could stay longer than the 30-minute parking limit since I was a customer. However, a few months later, I received a £170 fine. By that time, the club had closed down, which caused me a lot of stress and wasted time trying to prove I had consumed there. I have my bank statement showing the payment for my consumption at the club, as well as the subsequent payments to the debt recovery company, but they refused to provide a receipt despite my multiple requests. Under pressure from the debt recovery agency, I ended up paying the unfair fine, but I feel I was scammed in this situation with no recourse. The lack of documentation and the club's closure made it impossible to contest the fine, even with my bank statement proof that I was a paying customer that day. I would like to get my money back, as I believe I was wrongfully penalized."

Went to an event last November. Food was Weatherspoon quality on a bad day. and came out whenever the im assuming he called himself a chef felt like it. Some pople sat there for a while with food on there plates waiting for there partners food. Service at the bar was good. The really bad service was that if you park in the car park outside the club it's Pay and Display. You are ment to give the people at the bar your cars reg. Then they contact the pay and display people and you dont get charged. But even when you follow there rules they don't bother contracting anyone and you get a £170 parking fine from a dept recovery company. Trust me there are much better places to spend your money.

Was passing and thought I would call in to see the facilities. Couldn't of been better welcomed the staff where wonderfully and helpfull. Sadly the bar was closed for renovation but the place was spotless. Can't wait to return when works are complete.

Just called in for a Christmas eve drink after a lovely walk along the river front. G and T for me and coffee for hubby 😁Lovely friendly staff as aways xx

Shocking Service Walked in rhe place and it was semi busy, not packed but a few in. Said hello to a waitress got nothing back, went to sit at a table someone had just left. Waitress starts to clear table doesnt say anything. End up finding another table, sit there table of 4 looking at the menu. Waitress comes to the table next to us 3 times never says anything. Go to the bar were we stand for over 10 mins with menus in hand whilst the women at the bar makes a coffee and a tea. Eventually gets to us and says what can i get you. We start ordering food....oh sorry we are not doing food....when questioned we will do in 15 mins. When asked why apparently it was that busy yet every table wither had food or was finishing. And that was that no offer do you want a drink while you wait, we can take your order now and get it to you when ready......Just a blank stare and Eventually you can have a drink if you want....Really poor, shame as the food looked good.. Just poor lazy service.... Another place relying on location....

The owner Bernie is only a hop, skip and a jump away from flat out robbing people. There’s plenty other nice bars around I recommend literally anywhere else :)

The restaurant is an average place to have a food but the parking is a rip off. If you overstay 1 min , you will get a hefty parking fine and the restaurant is not willing to help to cancel it even though you spend money there.

NEVER STEP FOOT IN THIS RESTAURANT!! I worked in this restaurant for a couple of weeks and seen the standards of the management & kitchen were disgraceful. I would highly advise you not to eat or drink at this place. Most of the staff are untrained and the owner of the place was very unprofessional! I don’t know how this place has ever passed any type of inspection definitely needs looking at again!

I was staying in the car park in my motorhome and just using tha facilitates. We didn't actually use the bar but can recommend it as a place to stay. Great value, close the city centre.

Lovely kind staff. Brilliant location

Great food and drinks good staff aswell

Food was ok, not so different from fish & chips at other places.. food presentation was normal, a very thin slice of lemon that didn’t make a difference in the taste, but there were other sauces, salt and pepper as well as tartar sauce.. chips was great, the thicker part of the fish wasn’t cooked properly .. a little overpriced.. other than that, speedy service , you can use the wifi, toilets have no hooks or space to hang clothes or bag on, dogs are allowed, view is great, alcoholic drinks and beverages available at the bar. You can watch Sports on tv. Many locals use the place as a regular.

Visitato durante la beatleweek. Buona birra e luogo incantevole.

Getting a £100 fine for using car park, after buying a parking ticket, totally ruined my visit. Couldn't pay for food by card either, so a very bad experience overall for a business lunch. Will never go again. Be wary of this parking scam!

Great location within the Yacht club with views of the boats in the dock. Pay parking. Motorhomes £30 24 hrs CDP and water. Reasonably priced Pub food. One Steak was fatty. Not much veg on the plates. Good beer selection but no real ale on. Mix of clientele yachties and locals alike not posh at all very relaxed. Would go again.

Lovely place for a pint and food

Always a great place to walk too and enjoy a pint with a view.

Staff very friendly and helpful

Great spot close to Liverpool centre serving a great selection of food and drinks. We enjoyed a walk from otterspool promenade along the river Mersey and stumbled across the yacht club that is open to the public. Such a lovely place to sit and watch the boats come and go throughout the day. Plus the atmosphere was really welcoming and there were more than enough seats to sit outside on the terrace. Looking forward to returning.

Waited one hour for food with only 12 people in the pub. They’d forgotten/lost our order. They apologised and offered us a free round I went to the bar to get the round and stood there for 5 minutes waiting for a staff member in an empty bar. Paid for our first round and left. Dodge.

Attending a wedding reception, so I did not get to sample the food. The service was on point, the location perfectly suited the occasion and we all had a memorable evening.

What a lovely friendly establishment, friendly, helpful staff. Very clean , definitely go there again ..... 👍

Staff was lovely aswell as the food sitting outside in the sun complement the day.

Had a lovely lunch here ( on more than one occasion) its set amongst the moored yachts and boats, a fantastic spot to sit and watch the world go by ,totally recommend a visit it's also dog friendly with very friendly staff,reasonably priced too...give it a 👍👍

Just had a lovely meal here. I went for the soup of the day which turned out to be French onion soup. It was different to usual in that it was full of croutons and was topped with cheese. One of the nicest soups I've ever had. Totally indulgent comfort food at it's naughtiest. Perfect. I also had fish and chips which was as good as it could be with tartare sauce and mushy peas and a great big fish with lovely batter. Would definitely recommend this place. Cozy and welcoming too

Lovely place its a hidden Gem x

Dog friendly. Welcoming staff. Lovely place x

I asked for a medium rare cheese burger and fries after forty minutes I received a burnt on one side burger that was dry and cold and chunky chips, no apology just took the plate away . That was in February. I went there on Thursday twenty seventh of April and asked for the pie of the day and fries this time I had to wait forty five minutes , the pie was very salty almost inedible but I was hungry and once again chunky chips I asked what the problem was and was told they are all just chips , if hats the case why advertise them as fries they reckon they have a new chef I think they are telling porkies

Chilly outside great food relaxation place to chill out

Great pub/ bar. First time visit, was reasonably busy but was still able to get a table without waiting. Drinks were well priced, and food selection was good. Parking might be an issue at times, but it's on the docks so should be expected.

Top quality Guinness. First class service from the staff.

Nice pub, lovely views of the marina, fast friendly service.

Had a fantastic eggs benny from chef wezz absolutely stunning both tast and visual. Be back very soon if not daily thank you yacht club.

Lovely friendly atmosphere ,central to park motorhome ,excellent customer service and food

Didn't realise making chicken and bacon club sandwiches was so hard , complete disaster think I'll stick to a pint only next time

Had a lovely meal and a good time

Went for a Sunday roast today. Everything was cooked perfectly and the staff were really friendly and attentive.

The worst cooked breakfast I've ever had. Couldn't finish it. Absolutely shocking.

We stayed overnight in our camper in their dedicated spaces, Craig me us when we arrived to give us a tour and a pass to access the building. Toilets are lovely and clean, showers were amazing and we made use of the laundry area that is paid via an app. Used the CDP and grey waste drain too

I had wanted to visit this place for a while after seeing it on a number of walks along the prom. It was not worth the wait unfortunately. The staff were friendly and the particular gent who waited on us kept the drinks flowing which was great, no complaints there. However we were warned about a half an hour wait for food due to how busy it was, but it was well over an hour before our food started coming out and sadly the food that came out was not at all the quality I imagined for something called The Yacht Club, maybe its on me, maybe I set my standards too high but the food that we were served was reminiscent of something I would expect from a supermarket cafe at a third of the cost. It is somewhere I may stop for drinks when I am in the area but I would never eat there again.

I do not recommend. Myself my my girlfriend come here earlier for Sunday dinner. We went in and was greeted by booming loud music and chaotic scenes the staff seemed to be doing what they wanted and there seemed to be no organisation (a couple of the members of staff were actually drinking larger) I ordered at the bar, one of the managers said that he would sort us a vegetarian option for my girlfriend to have and a fresh dinner for me to have as apposed to having one from the carvery. We waited for an hour and a half for our food, when I went and asked the manager who took my order he went into the kitchen to check where our food was and the kitchen staff said "that they had done it ages ago and was sent out". The manager then said that our order was probably given to another table by accident. I'm sorry but this isn't a good enough excuse for me. We were offered a couple of free drinks when they made us a couple of more meals but I refused and asked for my money back, which I got and the manager couldn't apologise enough. It's just a shame because it is in a lovely area but this has put us off potentially coming back here again.

Stayed on the Joker Boat at the marina. Ate in the Yacht Club, fabulous food and drink and staff are lovely and friendly. Loved our stay, Joker Boat is fantastic.

Great venue do a good breakfast.

**DISABLED PARKING WARNING = £100 per Hour!!** ('SMART PARKING' - Feel free to google this company's reputation on TrustPilot or elsewhere) Our 91 year old uncle (Disabled BUT still fit enough to drive at 91!) went for a quiet afternoon drink at the YACHT CLUB with a friend & stayed for just one hour. He understandably thought that by correctly displaying his Blue Badge, he could park without charge. WRONG!! The 'delightful' company (SMART PARKING) that have been employed to 'manage' the YACHT CLUB'S parking, slapped him with a £60 'fine'!! Which they have now increased to £100!!!! (Yes, ONE HUNDRED Pounds per hour!!) because we tried to appeal on his behalf, explaining re the Blue Badge, his age, etc. The appeal was very, very bluntly fobbed off, with no explanation or niceties, other than 'Pay up or else' & we will refer you to Debt Collection / Bailiffs, etc. We genuinely appreciate parking needs to be managed BUT there is ZERO common sense or willingness to use any discretion, whatsoever. A direct question to the management of the YACHT CLUB; Do you really want to be associated with a company like 'Smart Parking' with their reputation? Are you willing to discuss (privately of course) any form of discretion / compromise for a disabled 91 year old gent? Please reply?

Good site for motorhomes. Nice yacht club to enjoy drinks and food. Pay a nightly fee and get a voucher for use in the club . Great base to explore Liverpool.

Liverpool - “The Yacht Club” was out of order. When myself and 2 other deaf friends went there today. We were about to order the breakfast then the staff told us that breakfast had finished at 12, which I totally understand because it was 12:10pm. The staff told us that the lunch menu was starting. We were looking at the menu when the boss came and told her that no food for 15 minutes. We then saw the boss carrying breakfasts to other customers after 12:15. I double checked again with different staff at the bar about what had happened with the food. She told me the same thing about waiting ‘15 minutes’, so I sat down again. 35 minutes later still no-one came back to see if we were ready to order. I checked again and the staff told me food was not available plus no drinks either, (effectively refusing to serve us), but told to use the next room, where a wedding party was in progress (wedding party room), to order drinks. Telling me to effectively gatecrash a wedding party. I just went back to my friends and explained what happened. I saw other people at the same bar I just used ordering drinks at this bar. The bar I was just told I could not be served at. Also, just five minutes later that we saw staff carrying food to customers. And other staff carrying sandwiches & chips from the lunchtime menu to the customers. We only ordered ONE drink. We wanted to order food but was not allowed and also not allowed to order more drinks. We had been in there for 1 hour and treated very very badly. We decided leave and went to a different location where I can say we were treated with respect in a friendly environment. I can inform the readers of this review that we were polite and courteous and did not warrant the way we were treated. We did not create any fuss as we just wanted to have a nice meal in a nice environment. We did have a nice meal with drinks in a friendly environment but this was NOT in the Yacht Club There was no respect given to us and no-one had any deaf awareness. We will never go there again ever. We were treated very badly by all staff we approached for assistance.

Friendly enough place for a drink but eaten there twice now and on both occasions hit problems. Steak pie you couldn't actually chew and lasagna cold in the middle. wouldn't eat there again.

Oh wow the absolute WORST experience of my life. Visited on a Sunday there was hardly no one in there and we was sat for 30 minutes waiting for a menu and how to order food. Staff in there are absolutely appalling so rude and aggressive didn’t have a clue how to answer questions had different answers each time. The only advice I can give is to AVOID!!! First and last time I’m glad I’ve experienced now as if I would of booked this for some sort of event I would’ve been devastated. Really need to learn your staff customer service and also they need to understand the restaurant policies. Vile place.

Todo buenísimo y una presentación inigualable. Venía con antojo de costilla y he dado con el mejor sitio.

Nice place to go for a drink. Outdoor area with views over the dock will be good in the summer. The bar is a little bit out of the city centre so tends to attract a quieter crowd.

Klasse Restaurant! Preise gehen echt in Ordnung (£7 für ein "kleines" englisches Frühstück). Sehr bequeme Sitzplätze und ein super Ambiente am Yachthafen. Im Sommer gibt's dort auch so etwas wie einen "Beach Club". Dort wird live Fußball oder ähnliches übertragen. Grüße an den Manager, Tony! Bis zum nächsten Mal 😎

We always stay at The Yacht Club in our camper. Fantastic value for money. Staff are brilliant, food is lovely too. Couldn't find a better location in Liverpool. Really good for visiting the Albert Dock and Liverpool One. Great City 👍

Absolutely loved it. First class staff and service. Went above and beyond to help us enjoy our experience. The best fish and chips I had. Superb portions. Will definitely be back

lovely place and friendly staff.Nice place to eat too.

Great location & friendly atmosphere. Perfect spot to stop after a walk along the marina 😁😁

Before reviewing I had tried to send the below email to numerous email address and message on social media with no replies. Hi, I am writing regards to our Christmas Dinner that ended up ruining this year's Xmas. When initially booked, I asked the lady what is the earliest time slot, she said it is 2pm and I told her as my daughters go home to their mums at 3pm Xmas, she informed me it is set up like a carvery that opens at 2pm we will be done. When we arrive, I asked the barman is this still the case, he said yes and they will actually be calling us in at 1:30pm. He tells me how bad last year was managed and that it won't be the same this year as they are more organised. It wasn't promising to hear when I arrived that the last Xmas Dinner wasn't well organised. When we go in, the place looks completely unorganised so we ask a lady working what time and she tells us food will be starting 2:15pm. 2:15pm comes and nothing seems to be happening so we ask a different lady who tells us 2:30pm. 3pm comes and no food has come, meaning one of my children had to go home with getting no food that we had paid for. My second daughter has been told I can have her til 4pm. I only get to eat once every 2 years with my daughter, meaning I will have a 4 year wait between eating Xmas Dinner with my eldest. It's now getting close to 4pm and nothing seems to be happening on our table, all this while staff behind the food are drinking pints of lager with not much care about the massive delay. After we complain, a man comes over and tells us he will send us free drinks over, he also promises my niece a massive present when she leaves, no drinks came and no present for a child who was asking where it was. When food finally did come, the portion sizes where strange to say the least, my 3 year old had double the food I had, and the food was very cold by then. 3 plates came over meaning we all ate at separate times. Same with desert, anyone who ordered cheesecake got that at separate times too as we was told the cheesecake hadn't been cut. While this was happening we heard that the chef was off due to covid but other staff who had seen him where working and that's why the food was poor and behind, which also wasn't reassuring.

Great place and fantastic value for money. Stop for 2 night in Motorhome food was fantastic and in a great location. toni gave us great service. Highly recommended

Have a couple of beers, there, last night with my mate ste Talbot who runs the Web site Xplore liverpool. And scouce scene, they do a cracking Sunday carvery too I'm told, will pay a visit, I'm currently on film sets, FUNNY GIRL and Midas Man

Very unpleasant breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs - would not recommend.

Food was really nice and not tiny portions, staff good and helpful

Beautiful food 😋 Staff were very helpful and friendly 🙂

Really nice place an beers cheap

Really nice and quiet place to relax 😌 highly recommended

Great space. Outdoor area especially. Good friendly service. Don't need to be a yacht person either. All welcome.

Nice bar nice food obliging staff lovely place.

I have not had fish and chips like that in a long time, lovely meal and lovely staff will go there again, soon.

The Web page needs updating as information is out of date. Parking is no longer free when you arrive, you have to present your ticket when you pay your bill and they take amount off. There was a mix up with order and when the food eventually arrived it was cold and had to be returned, very disappointing, just unlucky I guess.

The service was dreadful. I was ignored for 30 minutes then got my sandwich after 45 minutes.

Excellent service, staff lovely

beauitful place amazing food and staff get yeself down here guys

Slow service, no vegan choices and little veggie choice that I could see. Forgot cutlery and serviettes, had to ask three times gave up in the end and ate it with spoon from the coffee. Food was nice but service was a let down

Great location and venue. Nice food and friendly staff

Very nice location, clean and well appointed. Only had a peppermint tea but it was well priced and in a generous sized pot. Wanted decaf tea but they don't have it. Will be back with five stars when they do.

Awfyl food & service . Never again

We had our wedding there yesterday. The friendly staff excelled themselves to make our day very special. The food and service was 1st class. Thank you.

Nice place for a summer evening drink!

Front of house guy was lovely. Sat at the lower bar area and the table service was shocking. Glass collector was amazing. But please supply him with a staff jumper

Nice food great location but terrible service,waited ages to get a drink

Fantastic food great service excellent new management
