Coogee Diggers reviews
5 Star Review by Liliana Mawer
We held my daughters birthday party here and we are really happy with the way the manager Peter Gallagher handled the entire event. They were very accommodating with everything- such as letting us in early to set up the decorations etc. The food was also really good. The pricing was very reasonable. All the guests remarked on how well the function went. Highly recommend!
4 Star Review by Galileo Sutherland-west
Doesn't matter how good the food or drink is and how polite the staff. The speakers BLARE in every room including outside. They ripped my eardrums apart. Couldn't there be one spot without any speakers? Great venue otherwise. Whoops. Edit. The staff were kind enough to turn the outdoor speakers off. Good food too.

First time at the bistro last night and we were really disappointed by how dirty the place was. Our toddler was given a cup with lipstick still on it. The tables, cutlery and floor were all dirty too. We ordered food and it the quality was really poor. The risotto had no taste and the tacos were stale. I don't write this to throw shade, but rather in the hope that a venue can achieve its potential to be great.

The gym facilities are great, couldnt recommend them more, the staff are generally very nice and professional also. But recently had a negative experience, I experienced an issue with my bank, not related to fund or by my own doing, when I approached the staff member to discuss they loudly and blankly accused me of not having the correct fund/ the issue was my doing!! In front of a gym full of members, after me stating it was an issue of not my own. This was a very negative situation, which was untrue. Very unprofessional. Considering changing gyms after this experience. Id just like to add Ive been with diggers nearly 3 years now, and this is the second time this has happened. 1.5 years ago my access card did not work (deactivated card in the end), and the staff member accused me of the same. I had to go to my online bank and prove it. Unfortunate since all other experiences were very positive.

Coogee Diggers is my local club that I have dinner at frequently. The food is consistently good with a lot of variety and everything on the menu is delicious. My favourite meal is the haloumi salad and then the chocolate extravaganza for dessert. Yum. The drinks are well priced and they even serve a sweet moscato, which I love. If you are a member you also get food and drinks at a discounted price. The staff are always nice and friendly and the facilities are improving every day with constant renovations and upgrades.

Gym has been done up (well mostly) but some machines need replacing. swimming pool is ok, pool area is ancient but still ok to swim in, it's more the changing rooms that are pretty horrific! Cobwebs and all bright green! Sauna and steam are pretty good tho.

In the past I have used this pool / sauna facility and found the sauna smelly ( body odour smell ?) suggesting the sauna needs a more regular scrub / clean. I have now also decided to stop going there as they unfortunately they do not accept the Fitness Passport Card at entry. Lots of gyms / pools in Sydney ( eg. Maroubra Seals, Wylies, Fitness First ) accept the Fitness Passport card , so its disappointing this RSL club has not got its act together and organised for its members/ visitors use their Fitness Passport card for payment.

I am really disappointed with this gym. I joined several months ago and since then, there have been several issues. The first issue was with their payment system and inability to process my payments via a Savings account and then trying to charge me 'late payment' fees a number of times - to which I obviously disputed. And secondly, despite being newly renovated, the downstairs area of the gym has very little to no natural air ventilation and NO aircon at all. The heat has been unbearable and it is also a serious health and safety issue. Despite a number of emails from myself and my partner, they have not responded or addressed the issue at all (with weeks between emails and follow ups). Honestly the worst customer service I've ever experience!
