Orient Heights Yacht Club

Orient Heights Yacht Club is a working waterfront club in East Boston, set along Bayswater Street with boats, docks and the harbor surrounding the clubhouse. The club’s bar and restaurant sit over the water, creating a relaxed setting for members who want a meal or drink alongside views across the harbor toward the Boston skyline.

The food is seafood-focused, with a full menu served from the club’s kitchen. Fried seafood and other casual coastal fare suit the setting, whether a meal follows time on the water or the restaurant is the destination itself. The atmosphere is informal and neighborly, shaped by the club’s boating community, fishermen and local members rather than a formal dining-room style.

Outdoor space is part of the experience. The members’ deck looks across the harbor, with the city visible beyond the water and boats below the rail. The deck provides a place for conversation, food and drinks in a setting connected closely to the docks. The clubhouse also offers access to a bar and restaurant for social members, while full membership includes additional boating and club facilities.

For private gatherings, the function hall provides an event setting above the water with large windows facing the harbor and skyline. The space suits showers, birthdays and other celebrations, with tables and chairs provided, a bartender available for a cash bar, and kitchen access for event catering. The hall’s waterfront position gives group occasions a distinctly maritime backdrop without separating the event from the working club and its docks.

Orient Heights Yacht Club suits boaters, harbor-focused diners with membership access, and groups looking for an informal waterfront venue. It combines a neighborhood yacht-club atmosphere with seafood dining, outdoor deck space and a function hall designed around views of the water.
