Tradies Gymea

Wow! What an amazing club, plenty of staff, very friendly, lots of machines, seems to go on for miles, and totally had a makeover since my last visit, a very long time ago!! Lol well worth a check in, just to have a look, not sure about the food, didn't eat there, but was given complimentary hot chips while playing the machines and staff very available. Took my elderly parents for a day out, was really nice, and I also had a win!! Woohoo

Sadly the menu in the restaurant has taken a turn for the worse . Prices are high for the fare offered , sides are ordinary ( you can easily prepare these same meals at home ) . For better quality and more interesting choices in dining try The Prince just up the road. I do admire the dessert / Cafe selection one of the few places you can go to to enjoy a sweet and cocktail in the evening. Good selection for those with food allergies too.

Update 8 August 2025 My mum needed to renew her membership, so I tagged along. The membership renewal was a quick and smooth process. Being a birthday month my mum received 1,000 free points. Invited to play a tricky game of luck duck. Success and another 100 points, so with 1100 points we decided to head for a meal. 11 months earlier September 2024 I was there for all of 10 minutes to meet someone. I had a latte coffee and some fun interaction with the staff one who was Thai and we spoke a few words in Thai.

We came here on a cold windy night so the place was fairly quiet which is perfect for me. I enjoyed lasagne and a beer because that's perfect for a wintery night like this. Service didn't take long at all and the vibe of the place is great overall. The decor of the restaurant is the stand out feature here along with the smiles from the staff. Yes. Smiles. Not "avoid eye contact at all costs" service that's becoming the norm lately. Must remember to join one day.

Located at 57 Manchester Road, Gymea, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 Even though this is a very nice looking club (I believe they have had a recent refurbishment), the enjoyment of being here was largely outweighed by the exorbitant prices. I had a chicken schnitzel burger and fries. Now if you are not fortunate enough to have a membership card, it would have cost $31, with the card it was $26. This is so expensive. I feel prices like this are going to drive people away from a club I thought was meant to cater to people in the working class and their budget. My friend had a grilled fish and chips from the specials, now I know you have to expect smaller portion sizes but this was tiny. Three mouth fulls if he was lucky. Also, they wanted to charge us $11.00 for an ice cream, so expensive. Saying this, my burger was very tasty 😋 and I didn’t hear anyone from my group saying they didn’t like their food. It was just the prices and portion sizes which were an issue. The club is easy to get around and very accessible for people with wheelchairs 🦼 and mobility difficulties. This included people in my group. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. It’s a shame that this club has pushed out the average income person through their pricing because it is a lovely and welcoming place. For this reason, I don’t know if I would return and I don’t know if I will recommend. 🤷‍♀️
