The Mid City Yacht Club is a neighborhood bar built in a building that was established as Savaggio's Grocery store in the mid-1930's. Savaggio's Grocery had a bar built in the back of the grocery store from the day it was opened. The grocery store was converted to only a bar in the late 1950's or early 1960's.
It has been a number of differently named drinking establishments, catering to the softball park across the street, St. Patrick Park. It just so happened that a friend of the bar owners, Mark Melan, was cruising the neighborhood in a pirogue picking up people from their houses in the days following the storm.

Ambiance: 3 stars
Service: 0 stars
Food: 1 star
Cost: Too damned high
Ambiance: The inside is just a bar, but the back patio is pretty cool with a fountain, plenty of seating, etc.
Service: It took over 30 minutes to get our food after placing our order. When the food came, it wasn't hot. It was challenging to get the staff's attention to ask a quick question, even though the place wasn't exactly packed (we went around noon on New Year's Day). There are NO pandemic protocols in place, despite the dramatic uptick of the new variant. The bartender smirked at us when we asked

I always enjoy the Yacht Club, but go there less often since moving to Slidell.
Ashley is a great bartender, professional and on top of things. I don't know if Beth is still there, but another top notch bartender. No offense to anyone not mentioned, but I no longer go enough to know the bartenders like I used to.
Great neighborhood bar, friendly people on both sides of the bar, definitely recommend.

Cute spot with a really wonderful patio (with lots of cover to protect you from sun or from a light drizzle).
Major things to note: solid beer selection, both on tap and canned. Cheap domestic beer (by the bucket if you want!). Also, good bar food. The mozzarella logs live up to their name - they're massive, and come 3 to an order. My table also ordered the Nachos which are HUGE. You could easily share the large order for 4 people.

First timer. My son and friends are regulars here. It's a nice place to sit in the backyard and have appetizers and drinks. Bar foods like hamburgers and chicken wings. Ilove places thAt have the old New Orleans backyard style. Brick sidewalks with pathways Nd lighted trees.
The drinks are reasonable too. I am here for the good happy hour

I was here a few months ago, so this is a retrospective review. The crawfish was fine - I would've liked it better if it had been spicier and warmer, but it was fine, and I love crawfish so I'll eat whatever. The corn was good, but the sausage was meh. But the main issue is that they were not enforcing social distancing guidelines AT ALL. I had already been vaccinated so it was fine I guess, but I still felt uncomfortable given that the majority of the city probably weren't, at the time. Yikes.

My husband and I just hosted a private party for 40 at the Yacht Club. We rented the boat house and our guests were able to enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio. Everyone raved about how good the food was and what a great time they had. Ben the Manager was easy to work with and provided excellent service. I highly recommend the mid City Yacht Club for your next casual event.

Mid-City Yacht Club is not only a great bar, but it also offers so outstanding food choices as well!
Tip: My go-to favorite eats here is their Shrimp taco; they add pulled pork BBQ on top, which makes for an amazing flavor profile :-)
While the food here is good, the drinks are what they do best. To elevate the quality level, the bartenders here actually make many of the liqueurs they serve here - highly recommended!

My family and I were looking for a nice outdoor dining experience. Using yelp filter for outdoor seating, we discovered Mid-City Yacht Club. We were not disappointed, great seating area, the tables were safely apart. This is great place to enjoy the game away from home while practicing social distance

Support local business during covid.
this place has stellar food, and Kelly is a great hostess. We had a burger with bacon and bleu cheese. OMGoddess, and Meatloaf special. That came with killer green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. Huge portion! The garlic and parm french fries were lovely and I got a beer while we waited for the food.
outdoor seating in the back, and out front. Hand sanitizer on the counter, plenty of signage and great service. Thank you for becoming a new hot spot for me.

Great Covid setup for Saints games in spite of limited seating. The food menu is short for there are some good things on the menu. Stick with the wings, which are huge, the garlic parm fries are the best thing on the menu and the crab balls are pretty good as well. The burger is not great and you would be better off with the tacos or even the roast beef sliders which I wish they made a poboy with because the meat is delicious.

This was a brief stop for a potty and bar break along our ghost tour route. This is a nice size bar located in a residential area where the locals hang out. Had a good vibe about it and everyone was really friendly (including the patrons). Would definitely be a great place to hang out for some food and drinks off the beaten path.

I may be a little biased but I loved this place! I stopped in because i was in New Orleans for Southern Decadence and I needed to see my Ohio State Buckeyes play. I heard this was an Ohio State bar so I stopped in and ended up staying for the whole game! Met some wonderful Cajun Buckeyes and enjoyed rounds of shots and ice cold beers with my new friends. Everyone was pleasant and attentive seeing as the bar was to capacity. I don't know what it's like when it's not a gameday but it's a whole lot of fun on gameday. Go Bucks!

Came here as part of a bus tour. The bartender seemed annoyed and was in no rush to help us out. Definitely. Spot for regulars it seems, all I wanted was a Red Bull - but they don’t take credit cards for charges under ten bucks. Ok fine, they had a nice big water jug so I could at least quench my thirst - that was empty. Kinda lame y’all. The bar itself is nice and looked like a big selection or beers
Edit: Revised rating based on classy response from owner. The bus tour was blast! Thank you.

My favorite place for a crawfish boil, although a little pricy compared to other places or just buying crawfish at a supermarket. The boils come with all the fix-ins and has awesome flavors. I've also ordered the boiled shrimp which was delicious.
The reasons I love this place include the outdoor patio seating with warmers, sports TV's all over, and a great selection of draft beers. They make seasonal drinks like putting green food color in beers on St. Patrick's Day.
A word of warning about the parking...beware parking next to the baseball field (self-explanatory). This is a
