The Country Club, around for more than 40 years, is located in a stunning circa 1884 Italianate manse in Bywater. The restaurant bar has it roots as a gay staycation spot, and still attracts a strong LGBTQ crowd to the gorgeous salt water pool out back. But it's a mixed crowd that frequents the excellent restaurant up front as well as the freewheeling pool scene. Eat up front in the lovely art-filled dining rooms, with chef Chris Barbato in the kitchen (last of Commander's Palace), or have nibbles poolside. Guests can pay a day rate to swim and lounge or pay an annual membership for unlimited privileges. This place feels like being on vacation. What's not to love about that?
