5 Star Review by Cheridan Roberts
HUGE meals at a ridiculously fair price! Drinks are nice and cheap too and a great day on a Sunday... Not many bowls clubs around like this one anymore... They should, however, reintroduce the dogs allowed rule ;)
3 Star Review by Captain kranq
It's all about the company .... The venue is a bowling club ... The drinks are cheap if you are a member of East's footy club. We used to go there on a Friday night once a month to catch up with other parents as the club is Kid-friendly as they serve food... The food is generally pretty good but it went from quite cheap the quite expensive when they said it was closing down for Renovations.... It did not close down just the food got more expensive . It's quite a nice place really ...... But go with friends... If you drink .. Don't Drive.
5 Star Review by Andrew McDaniel
To be honest as a foreigner I don't really know what makes a great bowling club versus an okay one. However, in terms of standing in the sun on the grass, day drinking cold beer and throwing stones at other stones, this place delivered excellently! Staff and other customers were very friendly and welcoming to us first timers.

5 Star Review by Natalie Costa Bir
Went here for a kids first birthday party and we had an excellent time as we were outside with shade, good food catered by the venue, plenty of places for kids to run around plus benches and tables to sit at and keep things out of their way. The inside is pretty retro but it's a good solid place.
