Lonely Planet review for Royal Papua Yacht Club
This large airy place is the last bastion of post-colonial white elitism - you won't see any grassroots here. Pity because it's a nice place with a pleasant deck for sitting, drinking cold beer and watching the harbour. The food is good and reasonably priced, and the club is decorated with lots of interesting WWII photos and maritime memorabilia.
There's sometimes live music, but otherwise it's a steady diet of easy-listening 'yacht rock' through the speakers, such as Eagles, Toto, Christopher Cross. You're supposed to have a member sign you in, but a little charm (and white skin) should see you in.

Lovely venue, dodgy food
lagoulue recommends this,
Can't add much to the poetry of the overview. The beer is cold, the chairs comfortable, the view very pleasant, the staff attentive and there are newspapers and a book exchange. Down below there is a children's area, a good gym and the diving club. Avoid the restaurant as the kitchen is crowded and dirty and the food of very variable quality. Raw chicken burger anyone?
