Gather with friends after a day on the water and enjoy the panoramic view of the Ross Barnett Reservoir, and our harbor, from our large, covered patio. You’ll see why this spot has earned the reputation as the best view in the area. A stunning sunset sky palette, comfortable seating, the warm breeze, laughter of friends and your favorite beverage – won’t you join us? It’s a fantastic spot for alfresco dining at its finest.

Bar

Situated at the water's edge, JYC's nautical-themed Club Bar boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, framing spectacular water views. Here you can visit with your boating pals or watch the game of the day on one of our flat screen TVs. Request a specialty cocktail from one of our professional bartenders - you won't be disappointed. Our fully stocked bar offers a fun collection of craft beer, a full set of spirits, and of course an extensive wine list. Grab a small bite or enjoy a delicious entree from our full menu - we're here to serve you Tuesday thru Sunday. Cheers! *Must be over 21

Open Air Spaces

Set the stage for your special gathering at our premier event space, which is adjacent to the water and to our marina. Ideal for your next cocktail party, birthday party, rehearsal dinner or wedding ceremony – this spot is made for that perfect party pic. The Lower Veranda offers a spacious, open atmosphere for your next event.

Pool

Enjoy a picturesque view over the reservoir while you cool off in JYC's pool. Relax on the pool deck year round with service from the Tiki Hut during the summer. Members are welcome 24/7/365. The pool also serves as the home of the champion JYC Sunfish swim team, a fleet of our youth who compete in the Jackson Swim Association (JSA) summer league. The Sunfish practice after school in late spring and begin competing on Mondays in June; make sure to come by to watch them. The atmosphere around JYC's pool, including the music and our famous Bushwhackers, has made JYC the premier venue for swim competitions. Join us and take a dip!

Tiki Hut

Take advantage of our Tiki Hut’s summer lunch menu which offers an array of delicious menu options to enjoy poolside. Or you can tuck under our covered pavilion at the Tiki Hut to enjoy your snack in the shade.
