The Alley: Dine at the Club
Experience the best of the Yard at The Alley—a sophisticated Annapolis restaurant dining destination located inside the elegant Naval Academy Club that blends rich scratch-kitchen tradition with award-winning cuisine. The Alley transforms the former bowling alley into a warm, maritime-inspired restaurant and beautiful bar serving housemade specialty dishes, handcrafted cocktails, and more.
Indulge in Chesapeake Bay favorites like Maryland Crab Cakes and Rockfish or try classics like the Alley Burger and Yardbird Fried Chicken Sandwich. The famous rotating buffet ensures there is always something new to savor.
Dine with a Purpose
Open to all for lunch Monday through Friday—and to members for happy hours, dinners, and special events like Prime Rib Night and Alley Trivia Night—The Alley is Naval Academy Club dining personified—where friends, family, and midshipmen connect over incredible food, beverages, and shared purpose. Every meal provides funding for the clubs and activities that define the Brigade experience and build that strong sense of camaraderie.
