Camelot Yacht Club

DJ starts spinning techo @ around 11. The men are dressed in the typical palm beach uniform… blazer, white, button down shirt, pastel– colored sweater draped over the shoulders & khakis.
Fun place to just people watch…

Great Music, Atmospher and amazing Happy Hour pricing.

As we were passing by, one of the hostesses signaled the bouncer that we were not ok to go in, yet the other serves told us it was members only but he’d make an exemption for us. I found the atmosphere to be very pretentious, the service was definitely poor and the drinks were not just overpriced, but flavorless.

What a beautiful location. From the hand made wood bars to the beautiful fish tank. A must see location if you are in the WPB area! The about of time that must have gone into the build out is beyond me! JFK would be proud! I would recommend giving the food a try as well as the craft cocktails. Always a very clean crowd never any riff raff…(as is the problem with most clubs)

Love this place! The food is amazing. Craft cocktail and seafood by evenings… best club in town at night!

Pop music, pretentious clientele, overpriced drinks considering this is a bar which wants to be a club. Tack on some horrible music and stand offish staff and that about sums this place up. I live in Miami and have been to many clubs, but I’m not well versed in West Palm clubs. This place is «members only» but I don’t really get it… We had two tables with a decent sized party, and they charge the same as a Miami club for bottles, meanwhile the place is not a real club at all.

The Kennedy Camelot story that shaped the legacy of JFK was artfully woven by his wife Jacqueline Kennedy just days after his assassination. So too, the story of this Camelot club is being woven by the owners and managers that have artfully tried to create a space reminiscent of a bygone era.
The Camelot Yacht Club is beautifully decorated with traditional nautical colors, plenty of Wainscoting, and large reprints of famous Kennedy photographs and a Crew boat attached to the wall. The two-​bar club had ample friendly and fast bartenders on hand on a Saturday night and drink lines were quick and efficient.
And that is where the story of Camelot ends. You see, the feel upon entering is one of sentimental wistfulness in which a person wants to go back to a time when class was clearly defined but then… one remembers what that meant for women and black Americans and one shudders to think of what life would be like if Camelot rose once again.
But never fear, the Camelot Yacht club is simply another bar/​lounge in the downtown corridor that plays the same music, offers the same drinks, has the same entertainment, and is effectively, «just another bar». Nothing I saw last night, other than the speed of the bar promises to keep this place open any longer than any other downtown venture. Camelot would do better to connect to the Kennedy history of Palm Beach, Peanut Island, etc. If the «yacht club» wants to succeed in the long run.
In the concluding couplet of «Camelot», the musical written by Alan Jay Lerner, King Arthur says, «Don’t ever let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was Camelot.» I have a sinking suspicion that King Arthur’s quote is more timeless than Lerner would have imagined.
I would be happy to be proved wrong.
