About Katoomba RSL

Stepping inside out of the chilly Blue Mountains mist reveals a bustling community refuge serving honest bistro classics and cheap draughts. Locals head straight for the Red Poppy Brasserie, trading chilly ridge trails for hearty bangers and mash, thick T-bones, and quick-fired scallop linguine. Pouring cold, SA-brewed Mountains Lager for five dollars, the spacious clubhouse buzzes over live weekend sets and the time-honored daily 6pm Ode. Table bookings help at peak evening dinner runs, while riders find a handy perk at reception with staff storing motorcycle jackets and helmets.

  • Exclusive Mountains Lager: A dedicated Mountains Lager contract-brewed exclusively for the club in South Australia pours fresh at the bar for $5.
  • Free Local Courtesy Bus: A complimentary shuttle connects diners across surrounding mountain towns, running routes out to Wentworth Falls.
  • Traditional Evening Ode: Daily club rituals include the traditional 6pm Last Post and Ode observance, pausing the buzzing dining floor.

  • Commemorative Evening Traditions

    The club maintains touching community traditions, pausing each evening at 6pm for the commemorative Ode and Last Post.

    6pm and the club stopped as they played the last post with a mix of waltzing matilda in it. Was very emotional and lovely to hear.

  • Effortless Booking for Group Gatherings

    Large groups and family parties easily organize seated meals and live shows together with spacious table arrangements.

    Dinner can get very busy but we managed to call and book a table for 10 people. Great food, friendly staff, very new and clean environment.
