The Club has two Bars, one of which will always be available, during permitted hours, for the exclusive use of Club Members, their guests and visiting yachtsmen.
The Main bar on the top floor, "The Quarterdeck", is limited to use by adult Members (and 16 to 18 year olds providing they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.) A balcony with views over Havelet Bay, Town and the Pool adjoins the Main Bar.
The Viewing Gallery on the top floor is usable by all Members and supervised children and is a designated a "No Smoking Area" at all times.
The Commodore's Room is downstairs and is for use as the restaurant.
The "Club Room" is on the ground floor to the south and is used for Committee meetings, functions and parties. Younger Members often use this room - if, however, small children are in this area, they must be supervised.

The premises also include Ladies and Gents Toilet and Shower/Change facilities, a disabled toilet and a baby change unit.

There is terrestrial TV all the main areas, however, the Viewing Area TV is normally kept just for the weather forecast.

Members can request exclusive use of some of the Club's facilities for private functions. Members should contact the Club Secretary to book such an event, which may use the ClubRoom, or one of the two bars. The Commodore's Bar can seat up to 30 for a sit down meal, a few more for a standing Buffet. The Main Bar can seat 60 - 65 for a sit down meal and, again, more for a standing Buffet. Normally Members will not be charged for room hire providing the Club supplies the drinks and /or the food.
A list of non-member guests attending such functions will be required in advance to meet the Club's licensing requirements.
