East Cessnock Bowling Club reviews
5 Star Review by Emm bailey
Great venue. Great staff. Great food they so offer live bands. For us adults to sit down & relax to. And raffles. When we come here to the club we always feel highly welcomed. 10/10 would recommend coming here.
5 Star Review by Dan Duncan
A night out to watch some live music. The club had organised a dome outside on the green for the night of dancing and music. I would have provided some stand alone heaters as options for people as it can get quite cold in that area. The restaurant within the club had an asian menu with a couple of Aussie food choices as well. Given how busy the club was this night because of the event the food was quick and delicious. Overall it was a great venue for the event and thoroughly enjoyed seeing The Viper Creek Band and All Access 80's
3 Star Review by Ameer Meerzaee
Kind on an average kitchen and food was nothing special The interior is just ok and really need a proper renovation. Staff on the floor were nice and friendly. Not many options in the area so the locals are enjoying themselves even with the ordinary meals. Lots of parking spots available.
5 Star Review by Terry Weekes
Big club food good large meals most of staff were great and friendly found one bar staff a bit so so in attitude but apart from that a great club

Unfortunately we have a child that has allergies we had bought him a Macca's $7 meal while at least 6 adults would have eaten and drank but unfortunately he was not aloud to bring the meal in. I think some places need to reconsider kids with allergies and letting them bring a small meal into the premises. We left and won't be back.
