Coorparoo RSL & Community Club

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

I only go for the food, can't comment on anything else.
The chicken schnitzel here has the best mushroom sauce I have ever tasted.
The food quality is consistently good and fresh. While the decor is dated, they are set to move to a new location soon.
Member prices are just $2 and gets you a discount. They do lunch deals and specials on different days.
Street parking out front, there's plenty of lots but it may be occupied depending on the day and time. I've never had a problem finding a park though.

Decor left a bit to be desired but I do love the older-style bar. Modest pokies and TAB areas, didn't detract from the rest of the place. Live music on the Friday night when I went, cover musician playing a bunch of classic rock hits.
Staff were wonderful, friendly and prompt with service. Food was as you'd expect, nothing to write home about. The schnitzel was a bit overcooked but I'll give them another chance. Schnitzel, garlic bread, and pint of ginger beer all came to under $30 and the wait for food wasn't too long, but it wasn't very busy when I did go.
Expected to walk into one of those upper-class style RSL clubs with a strict dress code and all, but the atmosphere was very much like you'd find in a country pub - a great thing to find so close to the city.
Good selection of beers, wines, and spirits. Menu is varied and has something for everyone.

Staff are lovely and the environment is nice, however I experienced an elderly man named Trevor being extremely rude to me trying to say that I wasn't allowed to reserve a machine in the pokie room to quickly try out $4 in another machine quickly within the reserved amount of time and return to the machine that I had reserved. Following that conversation I enquired with the Staff member to be sure that there was no rule about using another machine quickly then going back to the other which she confirmed there is no such rule against it or against using 2 machines, the man then tried to make out he hadn't been rude at all by coming over to me and saying "you can't do that reserve 1 then use another" even though I was returning to that machine which I had nicely responded and also said that there's no such rule and I'm sure if there was a rule that someone would have said something to me a long time ago. Which he responded "would you like to prove it" making out that we both go ask the staff making out he was in the right.

Just because you're an elderly person doesn't give you the right to be horribly rude to someone then try to deny it.

At last the gentleman has discovered how to make great coffee. Thank you.
Also the menu for a mid week lunch is basic but when served to is fantastic and really good value

Great place for a cold beer and a good meal familys and all very happy customer definitely be returning

Food was smashing, would have loved to see the club in its heyday, very groovy indeed. Nice staff.

Food was great and service was great on 17-9-22.
I have been visiting for three years and the staff always go out of their way to make sure you are happy.

Very disappointed.
Waited close to 40 minutes for our lunch & when the meals did arrive they were both cold, obviously had been sitting in kitchen for a awhile. Strange that the chef did not help the front of house staff & deliver the meals as only the manager was on duty in the bar.
Then to be told "we are doing the best that we can" is not good enough.
Its all good & well to cut back staff, but not when it sacrifices service.
Have been a member for over 20 years, but won't be returning

This place is awsome. Great meals with generous servings at a really decent price. They don't try to ram the pokies down your throat. Pool tables and sports bar. Slightly run down but in a very comfortable sort of way which is the way I like it. Friendly and genuine staff and the patrons are salt of the earth good ol' Aussies. Regular events like trivia, sausage sizzle and Texas hold em. Had the best night here that I've had in ages

They lost a great CHEF, his food was wonderful. The employees are very nice the club still needs an update. Our returned service personnel deserve better

Fairly ordinary. Parking is problematic, unexciting menu and slow service. I get the impression that the culture is lacking something, possibly disinterested management as with many RSL clubs.

Hi everyone. Unfortunately Coorparoo RSL does not have control of the listing. We are in the process of regaining control however until then please disregard opening hours etc that are listed. Regards Chris Bumstead Secretary Coorparoo RSL & Community Club

Enjoyable food, service, selection and friendly staff, I loved the fish combination, steak combination and looking forward to my next visit

Went 3 times. A guy there, I suspect a local calling out, using foul language and harassing other patrons. Staff did nothing. Won't be back.

Cheap beer $6 schooners decent variety. Our 5 meals where all brilliant for $12.50 each. Can’t go wrong great value for money.

Friendly staff members and good atmosphere. Basic menu and they've got a great members discount system.

Not really meant for randoms to walk into, but I'm sure it's a blast for the patrons of the club.

As mentioned in other reviews, the place is a bit dated and could do with some TLC. The food can be a bit "hit and miss", I suspect because the kitchen staff keep changing. Some nights it's worthy of 5 stars, other nights: not so much.
What is consistent is the quality of service and the friendly atmosphere. All the staff are friendly and helpful - even when they're struggling under the load on a busy night. It would be fair to say that we come more for the staff and atmosphere than the food. All in all we would recommend giving them a visit - you may not be blown out of the water, but you won't be disappointed. 4 stars:)

Rudest staff I've ever met. Screaming at people on the street instead of politely requesting them to move. Disgusting.
