"The door of Euclid Avenue Yacht Club says “membership not required,” but if it was, we’d absolutely pay the fee to belong to this neighborhood dive bar staple. The walls are stuffed with nautical-themed knickknacks (a giant shark, a bust of a mermaid) that look like they’ve been on the walls since the bar opened in the ’80s. After a few reliable beers, keep your sea legs with one of their massive and messy burgers. Our favorite is the Backyard Burger with a spicy jalapeño ranch slaw dripping out the sides. Sure, there are plenty of places to get a burger and a brew in L5P, but Yacht Club's small space and nautical theme is our siren song for a wild night." - juli horsford
