The Brunswick Club Reviews
Worst snooker/billiard service ever. Waited for more than hour but people were allowed to extend booking as long as they want. No protocols at all, guy behind the bar should at least remind them for maximum booking time.

Very very bad venue, was told I couldn't drink water from my own water bottle. Apart from my human rights being breached and being treated like a criminal, The venue is a terrible place to go. Was in the venue not even 15 minutes and it has a bad vibe about it. Possibly the worst venue in Australia for Customer service. I have been to over 400 venues across Australia.

Very cheap beer and friendly locals.
Staff are great and a membership card pays itself off quickly.

Very Brunswick...as it once was, FWIW. Low cost drinks, no craft beer. Has pokies but they don't jingle jangle into the bar space. The snooker room upstairs is superb but often is only members only.

This place is a shadow of its former self. These days it caters solely for The gamblers and the drinkers of the area. You can walk in at any hour of day and see the local riff raff drinking and swearing and carrying on from the moment the door's open.
The staff are notoriously rude and unaccommodating and the upstairs toilets are a disgrace and resemble a nightmare from the 1920s.
I think the fact that they've chosen a photo of a half drunken beer as their profile pic speaks volumes!!

The bar lady is very rude to everyone. The post mix coke is always flat and watered down

Stopped over for a cold beer. Lady behind the bar seemed pretty grumpy. No welcoming vibes at all. I made sure I said thanks when leaving the venue and got a blank stare and no response. I won't bother coming back here again.

Sad and lonely place. Stopped in for a beer while missus was shopping. I think I was the youngest person there three fold.
I like to imagine what the local punters life stories are. Wished they seemed more up for a chat, most of then seen to be content staring at the telly and drinking.

Rudest bar tender I've ever had. A mean look on her face while you order and ignores you when you say thank you. People like this should not be working in hospitality.

Only exists for pokies. No one would go there just for a drink. If you like pokies go for it.

Ok for a few drinks and watch sports on tv. Poker machines operate at the rear and there's an old school billiard room upstairs but you must be a club member for the billiards room.

Not a spot for bumping nightlife or a good time if you’re under 60.
I walked in to a quiet bar filled with pensioners. Keno and greyhounds played on the tv screens scattered around the room. I sat down with a cold pot and was,
I’ll admit, mildly entertained but the senior gentlemen singing Elvis Presley songs into his empty glass. No one really spoke much, focusing mainly on drowning their sorrows.
As I shifted my gaze away from the senior I could see the colourful glow of the pokies machines from across the bar. The somber mood emanating from the poor sods pouring their hard earned into the machines added to the already dreary nature of the place.
Last chance to save the night I thought, so I headed up stairs to play some pool.
I swung open the door to the pool room and was surprised to see all the lights off and no one around.
I walked back down to the bar only to find out that pool is members only.
So that was a wrap. I walked out leaving the bad vibes at the door.

No snooker tables available to the public at all. You must be a member to play. No guests. Membership costs $35/year. I guess I'll leave them to it. Pretty lame in my opinion. Do they want people to go there or not?

I enjoyed it. It was a genuine place where I could get a cup of coffee for $3 and some snacks.

Got yelled at by a drunk guy in front of their entrance and no one from the bar did anything. No security visible.

Friendly staff and a clean environment. Didn't win on the day, but there's always tomorrow. A nice spacious bar. A great pool table and seating lounge in the entrance.

Don’t come here if you want to play snooker. Worst experience. Players can book a table for 2 hours, apparently. But they can extend to hours if they like. You could be waiting for hours. Worst club.

Do not join this club if you want to play snooker. 3 out of the 6 tables are for competition and not available to new members.
There is no booking system for the other 3.
If you get there and all 3 are taken you can wait for one to be free... but the people on the tables can decide to extend their hire at any time... even 20 minutes after they were supposed to be off the table.
You can waste hours waiting for a table and just when you think the time is up the person decides to keep it for another few hours.
Waiting around in that place is not great.

Awesome cosy little venue with wonderful, polite and friendly staff. Whether it's a few casual drinks with friends or a flutter on the pokies or TAB or Keno or some games of pool with friends this little place will suprise with its abundance of features within.
I love this place.

Awesome bar facilities prices. One of the strongest snooker clubs in the country many players of world class ability. Also with 6 full size tables which are constantly looked after by the members. The club also plays host to a number of Snooker tournaments throughout the year as well as weekly competitions.
