Open 6pm to 2am Monday to Saturday
We have had the most amazing seven year run that have exceeded our wildest expectations. The crowds down here have been great and we would like to thank you for that. We feel like we have been the hosts to one giant party and are truly blessed. How about seven more?!
The Yacht Club is Iowa City's main source for live music set in an environment where you truly are part of the music. We have entertainment 6 nights a week with friendly servers, a coat check, and serve tater tots! Trust us when we say this is not a financial endeavor - it really is about having a great time.
The Yacht Club is located in the basement of 13 S Linn St in a building built in 1918 in downtown Iowa City. The exterior of the building has remained basically unchanged since it was built and was restored in 2000. Our entryway has recently been remodeled in the hopes to improve upon your Yacht Club experience. Another great thing about our location is that there is free parking right across the street if you leave after midnight on weekdays and after 3am on weekends.
We are here for your fun - plain and simple. We are not some out of town corporation and we are not some small time bar owner trying to squeeze the life out of each penny. If at the end of the night we break even but the band was great and you had a ton of fun, then we consider that a win. This has been our mission since the day we first opened and we still consider this our goal in life to this day.

Pert' Near Sandstone came out of the great Minneapolis folk scene. Gathered round a single microphone, these boys play well crafted original stringband music, as well as being stewards of the old-time tradition. Their high-energy and gritty brand of stringband music is sure to get you outta your seat and keep you dancing...
Formed in 2004 and self-described as "High-Octane Rocky Mountain DanceGrass", WhiteWater Ramble uses a simple recipe to craft it's sound - bluegrass instrumentation, add drums, and a boundary-less approach to grassing-up everything from house grooves to reggae.
From the incomparable (except to Sublime) Second Hand Smoke:
"Secondhand Smoke is proving itself to be the best tribute to Sublime on earth. The trio has steadily been touring internationally, captivating rowdy audiences and developing a devoted following of Sublime fanatics and casual fans alike. Their energetic, tight performances at festivals, islands, colleges, and house parties have quickly confirmed their status as the ultimate tribute to the Long Beach sound. The Chicago-based trio exhibits a unique understanding of the music, and couples a dynamic front man with a rock-solid, booming rhythm section . WIth non-stop dancing, crowd sing-alongs, and three hour sets, the trio plays until the last request is finished. Fans of Sublime simply need to see this show!"
