The Yacht Club is the Bama’s other location, on the bay side of Perdido Key Drive across from the main Bama complex. Same ownership, same general vibe, completely different rhythm — this is the sit-down dinner version. Restaurant menu (more involved than the main Bama’s), a real bar, and a bay-facing deck that’s the move for sunset in the warm months.
If you’ve done the Bama proper and want the same family of place at a third the chaos, walk across the highway. It’s the better dinner option, and you’ll still hear live music most evenings without having to find a stage three rooms in.
Don’t confuse “Yacht Club” with anything fancier than it is. It’s still beach casual. There just happens to be silverware.
