Brighton Le Sands RSL Club

Located at 351 Bay Street, Brighton-Le-Sands, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 A great club where there’s so much going on! It’s very nicely designed, creating a relaxing and welcoming vibe when you come in the front door. On Mondays, there’s a Meat Raffle and also Trivia for Members. On Tuesdays, there is Poker and Members Bonus Points Draw. On Wednesdays, there’s Bingo at 10.30am, Raffles and Member Badge Draws. On Thursdays there’s another Trivia Night from 7.00pm. Fridays is a Big Day! There’s Bingo at 10.30am, Raffle at 1.00pm (tickets on sale 12.00pm) , Member Badge Draws and DJ Bingo from 7.00pm. On Sundays there’s Raffles with tickets selling from 2.00pm and Member Badge Draws. The Bistro (Mike’s Grill) has a great selection of meals to choose from. There’s also Specials from Monday to Thursday. There’s great Live Entertainment shows also, particularly on the weekends. It’s a wheelchair 🦼 accessible club which is good for our group which includes people with mobility. The food was delicious. I had Garlic Prawns Linguine. I liked it but was very filling. Couldn’t finish. The rest of my group liked their meals also. Parking 🅿️ is not the best, especially if you’re trying to unload a person in a wheelchair 🧑‍🦼. Other than that, I would definitely recommend. Thumbs Up!! 👍👍👍👍

We dropped in to watch the Matildas game and also had dinner at Mike’s bistro. The food was good and portions generous, it’s worth ordering meals to share. There are multiple spaces for chilling and watching the sports playing on the screens. Upstairs is the gaming area. There is limited street parking and a free parking structure behind the RSL. Good atmosphere with everyone cheering on the game.

I am absolutely disgusted by the lack of basic human decency shown at Brighton Le Sands RSL. Yesterday I suddenly became unwell while nearby and urgently needed to use a bathroom. This was the closest venue, so I went to the entrance and politely explained to the staff member that I needed to come in urgently just to use the restroom. Instead of showing even a shred of compassion, he refused me entry because I was wearing a singlet and pointed at the dress code sign. Let that sink in — a community club chose to prioritise a dress code over a person who was clearly unwell and asking for help. I used to visit this venue regularly, but after this experience I am honestly shocked. Policies are one thing, but basic humanity should come first. A reasonable person can make an exception when someone is visibly distressed and asking to use a bathroom. This was not professionalism — it was cold, inflexible, and frankly embarrassing for an establishment that claims to serve the community. I will never return, and I would strongly encourage management to review how their staff are trained to handle situations involving health or urgent need. No one should be treated this way over something as trivial as a singlet.

I was surprisingly impressed from signing in at the front desk with by the Lovely customer service lady Evet to placing our lunch order. The portion of the chicken schnitzel didn’t have enough mash potato but it was a good meal at an affordable RSL price.

Usually when it comes to restaurant's meals it's about finding a good balance between portion size and flavours. Quality vs. quantity. This place has the absolute best value for money. The meals are very reasonably priced, are of a high standard, and their portion sizes are massive. What's not to like? My seafood platter came with a ton of deep-fried seafood, loads of chips and a salad. It was a meal that I could have shared with a friend and still had been satisfied by the end. The staff are nice. The service was quick. This place is a real gem and I hope to return one day soon.
