Play Pokies at The Coorparoo RSL & Community Club

I mostly have positive feedback but I have an issue during the nightly Ode respect to our fallen Diggers. Staff will search the Venue for any person not standing to pay Respect and promptly tell that person to stand up. This disrupts those who are standing and makes a mockery of the Ode ceremony because the Staff searching for anyone not standing are not respecting the Ode themselves. I know Patrons should stand and show Respect during the Ode if they can in fact Stand but the Staff themselves should be showing Respect and not running around the venue like Police to enforce this action by Patrons and then not doing their own respect to our fallen Diggers. 2 stars for this particular action by Staff.

An amazing little community club, with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't recommend this place highly enough. It is such a haven of warmth and friendliness that bucks the trend of the increasing pretentiousness of the area.

A good, very reasonably priced place to meet or catch up with some old friends, if you are a member or associate member. As with all RSLs, members can usually sign non members in. Has bar and dining areas. Outside smoking facilities 🚬 And of course it is wheelchair accessible ♿️
The usual entertainment. Pokies, Keno and TAB options with a pleasant atmosphere. It is centrally located in the heart of Coorparoo shopping precinct. Close to public transport. The club also provides a shuttle bus service.
Please note that the only reason l have rated this review three stars 🌟 is because the overall condition of the club is pretty tired and run down. It is in need of a make over. Everything else is top notch.

Honestly the worst meal I've had out in 5 months. The roast dinner tasted awful. The beef was so tough - you couldn't, for all your might, get a knife through it and fat all the way through it. The gravy tasted rotten too. Roast veg and potatoes were also horrid. Yes, its only 15 dollars for a lunch special, but I have been to many other places this year including other RSLs around the country for the same price and they were perfect, delicious and tender. No wonder this place is quiet, such a shame. The waiter didn't even come back to check if the meal was okay - probably too embarrassed to. Will not be back.
Also attended the trivia on the Thursday night with Ben the host. First of all he did not have a microphone so had to shout the whole time for us to be able to hear him. And secondly what the hell was he wearing?! Black smart shoes with socks over the top of the trousers, a tshirt hanging out from underneath a stained hoodie, topped off with a scarf!! Very unprofessional and scrubby looking. What happened to just jeans with a nice shirt? You're the host, you should look the most presentable person in the room, but it was the complete opposite. He smelt of smoke too.
Lastly the pokies stank of damp mould.

After spending around $500 there on pokies & know the manager says to me "sorry no more complimentary SODA WATER WITH RED CORDIAL for you we've already GIVEN YOU 4 of those drinks for free. Youd think he would save money from NOT running the AIR CON in the TAB area? The place is a dust factory with toilets from the 70's & the strange smell is probably from the 70's also. Get ya head outta the clouds, no one would want to come back a second time with your horrible management skills + personally of a wet blanket & obviously You DON'T want to run a business to make money
