On the 19th April 1964, at a special meeting of the Nelson Bay RSL Sub-Branch they established the RSL Memorial Club in the Nelson Bay with a nucleus of 200 members.

The Club operated from the current site from 1966 and in 1982, the Memorial Club expressed the wish to purchase the premises from the RSL Sub-Branch. Negotiations were finalised in January 1986 and the Club was then owned by the members.

With various stakeholders over the ensuing years, the Club has grown to be a substantial business in Port Stephens employing locals and giving back to the local community.

With another round of renovations the Club provides outstanding features and the future is looking bright. Entertainment is provided each weekend, Club regular offerings including bingo, housie and raffles are drawing daily crowds to the venue. 

Nelson Bay’s casual dining destination is Bay Café with a delicious range of savoury and sweet treats available.

Fantastic experience: Best place to go to in the holidays for a dive in the middle of the ocean no where near land.

Fantastic experience: Visiting the area for the long weekend. I’m over overpriced salads, as this is all people think coeliacs can eat, but still charge the earth. We figured a meal at the local club would be just the ticket… and they didn’t disappoint. As we walk towards the entrance we noticed the staff facing the west and realised, they were observing silence for the ode. (LEST WE FORGET) Upon entry, we were greeted by three staff members who were incredibly friendly and open to having some friendly banter. They really set the tone for a lovely evening. We made our way to the bistro, had a look at the menu and placed our order. The lady who took our order was super friendly, and she knew what was gluten free and didn’t have to dash off to ask the kitchen staff. She was efficient, Knowledgeable and just really pleasant. I ordered the 300g steak (m) with chips and salad, no sauce and an alternative to the salad dressing to make it gluten free. My husband ordered the pork belly w salad and chips. I didn’t go to the bar, but, my husband did and when he came to our table, he said he had a great chat with the barman who was as passionate about beers as he was. I asked for my steak to be medium, and it came out medium. It was perfect. The salad was salad, but it was good with steak and chips. After we finished our meal, we went downstairs to have a drink (I had a pot of tea). The staff there were just as wonderful. I could tell the work culture at this establishment looked to be quite healthy. The staff looked like they wanted to be there and that they enjoyed their work. For those who say the place was packed and they had to wait… yes, that’s what happens when you’re attending places at their peak times. The whole world is understaffed. Be kind to those who’ve shown up. For those who say their food wasn’t exactly as they ordered it… you’re at a bistro with 200 other people, it’s not a 5star restaurant that has 50 guests. For those who say the staff weren’t very friendly, I’m gonna say, it’s You, not them.

Positive experience: Nice cossy place and the food was actually surprisingly good. It was quite pricey but the serving was big. It isn't a fancy restaurant but the place looks like it was recently renovated which made the restaurant a vibrant place to eat. Customer service was also pleasing.

Phil McGoldrick 2 years ago

Positive experience: The bistro has a reasonable range of menu items, plenty of seafood, a number of special meals for $15 ($17 non members) including battered fish, rissoles & mash, pasta dish, s&p calamari. Meals were quite good, place was clean and tidy. Service was efficient, reasonable for meal delivery. Mash potato was perfect! Very spacious dining room. One recommendation would be to add a Roast of the Day to the board. Definitely will return for another meal soon.

Lucia Marin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son has multiple food allergies and when I mentioned at ordering our food, the lady that served us got the chef to come and speak to us. He was super friendly and helpful about it, told us how he was going to cook the food separately. One of the best service we have experienced. My son loved his stake and chips with veggies! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Nice big club for this area with all the expected RSL amenities. Good bistro with the classic dishes in offer (little or no vegetarian options that I could find on the Covid limited menu). Food was super fresh, generous size : absolutely delish. AVG price $17 for mains, cheaper for full members.

Fantastic experience: Had to sign up to be a full member to enter club, due to covid however it was totally worth it. Very friendly staff and the at staff were exceptional. We ate a meal upstairs in the bisto and it was amazing.

Brendan Martin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came here for lunch with my wife and a few mates. The club itself is amazing. It's spacious and everything looks new and clean. The service at the bars were pretty good. Everyone seemed happy and it looked like they enjoyed their jobs here. We ate upstairs at the bay brasserie. Me and my wife ordered the half rib rack costing $30 and the veal Olivia costing $30. Both of these meals were absolutely amazing. The portion sizes were incredible, I'd suggest you don't eat anything before comming here as you will definitely leave feeling full. My rib dish was tender and juicy and full of flavour, I was definitely impressed. My wife's veal Olivia was also tender and cooked to perfection. If you are in Nelson's bay and looking for a place to unwind and relax then this is the perfect place to be, it ticked all the boxes and the experience was very good. Definitely recommend.

Mervyn Grant 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent club with friendly caring staff. Good menu to choose from. Great place for coffee and cake. We went as visitors so haven't been to their auditorium but the shows listed in the foyer are known artists so I am assuming that it's a good sized venue.
