Cheers to Local Flavor at YROC Coastal Bar & Grill

West coast vibes meet East coast charm at YROC Coastal Bar & Grill, a waterfront gem nestled along the scenic York River. Since opening in 2020, YROC has become a Virginia favorite, combining fresh local fare with inventive culinary flair. Every dish is crafted with the highest-quality ingredients to deliver bold, unforgettable flavors.

Renowned for its stunning waterfront views, legendary crushes and craft cocktails, YROC earned three gold medals in Coastal Virginia Magazine’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards and was recognized by Virginia Living magazine as one of the Best Outdoor Dining locations in Eastern Virginia.

Coastal Cuisine Meets Award-Winning Virginia Wine

What’s better than exceptional coastal cuisine? Pairing it with Virginia’s finest wines. YROC now features two acclaimed selections from Rosemont of Virginia: the signature dry Rosé and the Extra Brut Sparkling Rosé, winner of Rosé of the Year at the 2024 Sommeliers Choice Awards.

These 100% estate-grown wines beautifully showcase the terroir of Southern Virginia and make the perfect pairing for YROC’s coastal-inspired menu. Enjoy a glass of crisp, bubbly Sparkling Rosé with their fresh oysters, or complement the vibrant flavors of shrimp tacos with a pour of the still Rosé. The marina-front views and relaxed atmosphere at YROC set the stage for a perfect wine-and-dine experience along the Virginia Peninsula Wine Trail.

Getting there is easy—just a 15-minute car ride from Camp Cardinal. Or, if you’re arriving by boat, launch from Camp Cardinal for a scenic cruise and dock right at YROC’s doorstep at the York River Yacht Haven marina.
