Had a lovely meal and it was Friday night so the place was really busy.
Was great to see they still stopped at 6 pm for The Ode to be recited.
Meal was enjoyable ,a steak cooked as I asked with roasted chat potato's and salad and mushroom sauce that was rich and tasty.
Live music which was nice and a flutter on the pokies.
Plenty of underground parking too.
Will go again next time down coast

Good atmosphere for concerts. Toilets were accessible and clean. Bar wait wasn't the worst.

This club used to have great music on Sunday afternoons, come for lunch with friends sing along to the music have a dance lots of people enjoying themselves, well No Longer, they only have incredibly loud bands, so loud the poor staff can't even hear you when you are trying to order a drink. I understand & enjoy seeing loud bands at night but Sunday afternoon, l don't think so

Went there a week ago. Nice place, great service, great food. GREAT entertainment. Keep an eye out for a band called B-ROCKED they were fabulous. I'd be going back.

The club is very nice. The meals are great and the wait is quick. The music and entertainment they have is excellent . If you like a game of bingo there's plenty of that as well. Night and day games. I'm looking forward to another visit in the future. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

First time to visit this club.. Wow wow! Their meals are very generous and well-priced! They have live music on Saturday nights, with some dancing and the customer service is amazing 😍 😍

They didn't have Aperol Spritz nor any idea what one was when I asked which can be forgiven especially when you have young bar staff however it's a staple drink for those aspiring boojey bars on the GC. When our food came out they had ran out of burger buns so used two pieces of toast instead. When presented with our food there was no offer of a complementary drink or free dessert, instead it was a shoulder shrug. Again, young staff and I don't aim my criticism at them however the people responsible for running the venue need to pick up their game.

Nice easy place to bring my elderly mum for dinner with some friends. Local to the GC. In Southport for an event. Car parking underneath off Lawson St, elevator to entrance, airconditioning, nice food at reasonable prices. Not noisy. Good service.
Not a fan of the house Gin in the G&T, didn't end up drinking it.

I have been there for 3 concerts and they have all been great. Spacious room, excellent sound, and great height of the stage. Love seeing what shows they have on so I can go there again. Room for dancing also 🤩

Such a great environment and the staff are super helpful - one of the floor staff Issy was just the most helpful and happiest human - nothing was too much hassle and she really went over and above to make sure everyone was looked after and had whatever they needed throughout the nights function. Will definitely be looking to visit there again in the future - not just for events!

We visited during the week, but it was fairly busy. The drinks were cold and the atmosphere was good and the service was good, with minimal wait.
There was a fairly good menu with a variety of meals. We did not stay on, so cannot comment on meals. The bonus was the live music, which was entertaining, but not really appreciated by the audience present.

We had a great night out seeing The Angel's playing here last weekend, with Dave Gleeson as lead singer from The Screaming Jets.. they were awesome!! 😎 Even better knowing we could take the tram as it stops right outside too.

So much to like and enjoy but sadly we had to leave early. Food service staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Drink service staff really took there time. Enjoyed chatting to each each other while large lines were created.

We tried to enjoy the meal but sadly it was cut short and we had to go.

Menu quite extensive and prices well. The food quality was quite nice and good flavours.

So why did we leave early? The music! A band was playing which played some decent tunes but the volume was sooooooooo loud. Like excessively loud. Even the quite aged crowd were struggling with it. Having travelling 2.5 hours and staying in town for the night we arranged for a group of friends to meet for dinner and catch up chat and conversation. But we ate, couldn't talk, cause the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other.

We spoke with a staff member asking if there was a quiet location and she sadly said there wasn't and agreed the band was extremely loud and more than normal. It kinda wrecked out night and we had to leave finding somewhere quiet to speak but was getting late by this point and ears still ringing we called it quits and left.

Positive side is, on-site free parking. Just good luck getting one.

First time visit and really enjoyed having a quick bite to eat.
The young girl when I asked a question was unsure but showed initiative to help with a solution and a smile on her face. It was just refreshing and unexpected from other similar places I visit when asking the younger staff questions.

Came for a dinner and the food looked and tasted great. I always have to try the parmigiana when I go new places and this one was on the better side. Thick chicken breast and everything just tasted fresh.
My mouth waters thinking about my next visit here.
Everything seemed really nicely set out. Not over crowded and clean which makes for a relaxing evening. The entertainment was playing some great tunes that had some ppl dancing the night away.
Looking forward to coming back

Only slight critique, theres a wall that has name of service men and woman on gold plates. It was in a dark corner. And using our phone lights it was reflecting to much and couldn't read names. Unfortunately we were unable to find my friends grandfathers one.

Spicy margarita and some great eats! A few items were missing from the menu whilst ordering but it wasn't a deal breaker. Would definitely come back.

Had an amazing day revisiting SOPO after more than 2 years. Wonderful live entertainment from Laura Doolan. Staff are all friendly and helpful, especially Craig...awesome chap and great at promoting the club with what is happening there. Patrons are also very friendly. It was fantastic to see everyone dancing and having a fun time. Great start to 2023.... Thank you SOPO, we won't leave it as long till we return again....

SOPO in Southport is great.
Affordable meals & good discounts for members especially if it's your birthday.
Average size gaming room w/ free soft drink refreshments for gaming players. Have a large bingo base around the club w/ good jackpots & the staff is always friendly & good to have a joke with. I recommend trying the lamb shanks & there salad rolls. Good place to organise if your planning a function/party! 🌟

I consider the RSL as a second home. I have been a member since 1987 and I love the place. Staff are always friendly and they make my time there enjoyable.

Awesome fun club and slot machines, great steak meals

Wow what a fresh, positive attitude from the new staff. Food tastes great & ordering from the table/app is precise. However when the barman brought me my Margaretta in a little 7oz glass 😱 for $18, I immediately returned it to the manager. He said that the new way they make them. Lost me. Cheers Neil

Really disappointing. Ordered from specials board "salmon poke". Salmon was baked, absolutely no dressing or sauce (staff said that's how it comes) so dry!!! Asked for a doggy bag as couldn't eat it (dry salmon, dry rice and salad no dressing) and apparently nope, they don't have a take away licence to provide a doggy bag??? Umm, I think you need to educate your staff a bit better!

Large and friendly staff, we had a great night food was good, my son rated his parmi a 3, he has had a lot (good judge).

Good food and affordable prices. They always have something new on the menu, I recommend getting the membership card for $5 and you can get 5% off anything on the menu.

My girlfriend & I had dinner last night at the RSL, in one of the super comfortable booths and had a very relaxing & enjoyable experience, as always. The meals were delicious, staff incredibly friendly & quality of the wine (Sav Blanc) perfect.
I usually dine here before attending events at Gold Coast Little Theatre, which was our reason again last night & can highly recommend the RSL 10/10

What a great place being made even greater by the recent upgrades to the interior layouts and decorations. Food always is good to eat, quick to be served and very good value for money If you can afford to and want to put money into the pokies, then the new gaming area is a very pleasant place to probably lose your cash, but perhaps win some too and possibly the free soft drink service and the brand new free coffee machine provides a pleasant distraction when you want to stretch out the gaming experience. Well worth visiting the club and better still becoming a member.

The club is relaxed and easy to enjoy. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The only thing missing that would bring me to the club every day is a pool table. You have to have a pool table at an RSL. It goes with the territory. However, I do always enjoy my time at the Southport RSL. Hopefully they'll invest in a pool table or two to bring the pool playing members in.

Delicious steak special char-grilled, great value and cooked perfectly. Great variety of Desserts too. Staff very friendly.

Really awesome portion size. Well cooked steak. Lamb shank was the most tender I've ever seen and really well cooked. Thanks to Chelsea for funny and light service at the bistro

Today was my first time at the RSL. I took my daughter there for her birthday to have lunch. Our meal was really nice and our desserts and coffee amazing. Its a really nice club. Were going back into weeks to celebrate my birthday. The staff were really friendly and made you feel welcome. All in all a really nice day out.

Lovely clubAmazing food Great staffGood parkingBest RSL I've been to

Very nice coffee. Nice atmosphere and they have bingo on Saturday mornings

Meals was great flat head in pale ale batter and chips tasted like fish when I was young nice and clean staff friendly a must visit

Good services i love to enjoy this place when i come down in that area .Nice to play the gaming machine.

Southport RSL the best place in Qld, dare I say Australia for bands and 'live shows'. The amazing sound production and lighting is second to none, with an absolutely professional, experienced and knowledgeable sound crew. The staff are fantastic, friendly and experienced, the food delicious and the club has a great vibe. Thank you event coordinator Lisa and John Martin especially.
