Talk about an absolute glow up for this venue. Don't get me wrong, the old place had character, but it needed to go. Petersham RSL offers the typical club food so I can't complain about that. Plenty of new exciting offerings as well. They even have a spa, how cool is that. Not big on gaming so haven't looked much into it there. Happy for this to be my local club.

I was a big fan of the old club, which had character and offered roast dinners on the cheap. The new club is quite pleasant, but lacks character. You need more than two fake olive trees for ambience. The underground parking is for members only. The food was nice, well presented, reasonably priced and a decent quantity. Service was fast and friendly. Toilets were modern and clean. The water dispenser on the bar is not tall enough to fill a pitcher. There is a small playroom for children.

DELICIOUS!

Was pleasantly surprised by this - the prosciutto and rocket pizza. They were lovely and changed it to a tomato base. The base itself was thin and crispy and you get heaps of prosciutto on the pizza.

Really reasonable price. The place is huge and clean. Would be a lovely liven venue sport place also.

Serein restaurant Peking duck.
Pleasantly surprised with how it was presented. Skin on duck was crispy and food was flavourful. No loud music playing in the background so dining in was pleasant.
If you're there to park and not a member make sure you use the non-apartment buzzer at the garage entrance. It got a bit confusing. Overall good experience
Will go back again

The food is always so good there, was to good no time for first photos

Was pleasantly surprised that moscato was on the menu! Certainly made my night as I had a hankering for it. The garlic bread needed more garlic but the butter and crunch factor was great. Really friendly staff and nice interior.

Dai Romani

Exceptional customer service and an overall lovely team. I highly recommend trying the chicken boscaiola dish and the bruschetta. I'm keen to try more dishes from their menu.

Serein

The new Chinese restaurant is very nicely styled and the staff are quite friendly. It's a very comfortable ambience. The Mongolian lamb was my favourite dish and the duck fried rice was tasty too. For a more seamless experience it would be better if we could order directly with the waiter as opposed to filling out the sheet of paper, as this was a dinner session.

The Olive Bistro

They have a great selection of hearty meals. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. Comfy seating and pretty decor. The staff are friendly too.

Note: at times there is some inconsistency in the quality of meals. The chicken burger and schnitzel is always made quite well but the Paris mash, seafood pasta dish and arancini wasn't as great as the first time round.

The new Chinese restaurant Serein in the Petersham RSL opened this week and the food is phenomenally and well priced. Everything was delicious, especially the Yuzu Chicken! Also the pork and prawn wontons, duck pancakes and Xiao long bao were sensational! Service was fabulous, Harry our superstar waiter was also great. Highly recommend- look forward to yum cha opening there soon!

Dropped in for lunch. Everyone was very friendly and it looks great. I had a chicken salad, which was nice. It was quiet here, but apparently, it gets busier at night.

Very nice experience for our first ever visit to Petersham RSL. Everything easy and satisfactory. Staff greetings, parking, food quality, ambience. An enjoyable venue for dinner out with the family.

Attended an event at Petersham RSL. The food was absolutely delicious for lunch.

I highly recommend having lunch or dinner at The Olive Bistro. They have a great selection of hearty meals. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. Comfy seating and pretty decor. The staff are friendly too.

Rodney and his daughter managed all our guests we had a great time and the band playing was awesome. 5 stars for service, ambiance, food and affordability!

No greeting upon arrival and staff member remained seated, so lost a star. They have Reschs on tap, so that's always great. Unfortunately no TAB terminals, so forced to use app on phone. Doesn't bother me, but did plenty of other blokes.

Monday & Tuesday night is happy hour, but the olive bistro is closed.
Guess it's ok if you like a sausage roll or pie for $8
Sandwich tomato & cheese $9.00
Very disappointed bring back the old club
Waste of time coming. ?

Bistro is over priced big time! Steak was not cooked to order. Staff were great. Thank you to Michael who pretty much manned the bar himself. The duty manager with white hair seemed to walk around shouting at the staff and doing not much else. Jump behind the bar and serve!!!

Bistro is over priced for its average quality.
$29 for a small rump steak with french fries, no salad included. Steak was tough and the red wine jus was watered down. Very average food and very over priced.

Nice live musicFoods not badPlenty of space to sit and talk

I went to the RSL on Good Friday as one of my bff,s lives around the corner and up until covert I frequented the place as a member for over ten years,being heavily involved with the snooker club as a player and organiser. I was hopeful they had reopened the two snooker tables ,as other RSL clubs have,but due to the overly conservative attitude of the club management they were still closed! However they had a poker tournament (6per week) with over 40 players(9per table) sitting side by side. A snooker table is 12 foot long and 6 foot wide,most players have their own cues and social distances can easily be practiced. Addionally every person has to be covert temperature checked upon entry. I believe the club supporting gamblers as opposed to their only sporting club is a huge contradiction,and is motivated by the fact that when poker players lose, they go and play the electronic machines to recoup their losses. They are the clubs biggest source of income from all the profit and loss statements I have seen ,since I joined in 2006. As they are a small RSL they seem to stay under the radar, running the place on a skeleton staff and putting profit before people! The mood at the club was very non friendly except for most staff members. Besides cheap drinks if u r a member,or you are a gambler I would not recommend you wasting your time going there!

Good club. Quiet and peaceful, can hear the Poker machines, New club under construction across the street,

Went here for the first time last week to meet up with some friends. A young man with glasses named Liam saw that I was a little lost trying to find my friends, and without even asking, he very kindly walked me to the section where they were. Delightful chap! Even managed to say goodbye to us all as we left. Will be coming here more often. Thanks Liam!

Had the best experience with Anne and Liam.Became a member and it was super easy and friendly.I recommend this place till the cows come home.There was live music and everything.Thanks Anne and Liam!

Fantastic cooperative staff, right from the reception at entrance.

Great music.

Nice social distancing set up.

Great Bar.

100 metres from Petersham Railway station.

I had fabulous Saturday Evening, along with my friend.
