Ballina RSL Bowling Club reviews

5 Star Review by Ben Last

Extremely impressed with this place! Drinks were cheap as chips and the staff went out of their way and only too happy to help. We had dinner at their Bistro (Rinks Restaurant) and had the seafood platter and Roast is the day. They were both EXCELLENT value for money and they gave our daughter a free plate of chips!

4 Star Review by Curly Morrissey

Went there on a Recent Saturday night for a function. About 20 people. The food was excellent and plenty of it . Service was good.. Overall I rate it better for food than the main RSL club . Obviously here not the same views as the main club

5 Star Review by Richard John Kingi

Beggars shouldn't be consistent choosers , it's very ancient . Nothing to fault other than. Play the All Blacks or Super Rugby on A Television Screen when I'm in the area... I recommend staying at Avalon Gardens Motel whilst visiting Ballina RSL Bowls Club. Ring motel direct. For inquiries, very informative and you'll be appreciative with discounts in the area etc. Enjoy!

3 Star Review by Michael McDonald

Had a function here for my father's 80th, overpriced and enough food served to supply 5x the people - just that it was like a military canteen (terrible roast, gluggy gravy, parched veggies). Shame because the ala carte looked nicer, we should have ordered individually

5 Star Review by gordy cox

Since renovations the new look RSL is awesome. Upstairs in the tv/ cafe area is quite something. Quiet and family friendly with a huge tv screen and loads of comfortable chairs and tables and access to verandah overlooking river st. Good work Ballina RSL
