The Scarborough-Wombarra Bowling Club ticks all the boxes for an old-school bowling club:…read more Cheap drinks (about $6 for beers and wines)? Tick! Barefoot bowls in the sun? Tick! On-site bistro with a variety of meals under $20 (in this case, half-Australia, half-Thai)? Tick! Old school decor, with toilets that haven't been renovated in 60 years? Tick! It was a fun spot for a casual lunch, with only the weather letting down the experience. Half the table ordered casual bistro staples (like burgers and fish and chips), while the other half stuck to Thai dishes, and all were quite good, if not that exciting. Bowls are $12 per adult, and quite casual in organisation (we paid for the number of bowl sets, and alternated between different people, with no complaints).

I love this Bowlo and I want to have it's babies or at least have my wedding reception here…read more I do not know why Ive never been here before in my entire existence as an inner westie. I'm gald I have resolved this technical misdemeanor though. The place is garlanded by fairy lights and rice paper lanterns inside. You can play barefoot bowls until 9pm. - Try doing that at any other bowlo. There's an old school lino dance floor and a small stage where live and local gigs are always happening. Kids are welcome, and on the night I went there were groups of tweenie girls rocking out and dancin to the cool inde bands that were playing anything from covers of Rip tide to original hits like "going down the toilet" while their cool parents watched on and drank a few of their awesome selection of Craft beer. That's correct. Craft beer like Cold War. Feral Hog hop, I think was another and Hangman's rope and they are only $5... FIVE BUCKS!!! and of course what piqued my interest was the cooper's pale ale fairy lights hanging across the bar. too freakin rad. Food. Most nights it's very excellent Pizza. excellent excellent excellent. If you book a gog there they have different menus. It all looks amazeballs. Love love looove.

Petersham Bowling Club is hard to describe. It's ugly,…read morerun-down and shabby (not in a chic way). BUT They have possibly the best range of craft beers on tap anywhere (and bottled) in the Inner West. It's quite astounding. We are regulars here, because there are always new beers to try. And there's actually nothing nicer on a lazy afternoon than sitting back in the sun on some crappy furniture, looking across the weed infested greens and sipping an amazing, cold beverage. Seriously - If you like the idea of places like the Local Taphouse, but you hate the crowds and the astronomical prices you NEED to get yourself down to the PBC. Also, they do live music, bistro food, barefoot bowls etc... but I can''t vouch for any of these. For me it's all about the beer.

Highly recommend having your next event here and having a great feed with Rita's Bistro looking after you!

Came here for Sunday lunch/brunch…read more The choices of food here is just massive, and everything looked delish. Of course if your are here anywhere in the Aussie land, you either want Beef (which i don't do much red meat) or its famous seefood (lol). Sure enough the Hot & Cold seafood platter was on just about every table today, so of course we want to have what's everyone else's having, right?? Besides the platter, we ordered some steamed veggies, mix green salads and some yummy drinks. Great food and service, excellent atmosphere and exceptional view of the harbor, I can come here everyday!!

I went with a group of 6 of us in our mid-20s, but playing in the same arena with us were some younger boys. A good-sized arena, too, and you get 20 minutes to play a round. The food was pretty good, and average prices. Nice thin-crusted pizza for $13, and we also got a sampler of chips (regular, sweet potato, and wedges) for $15. That was a bit overpriced for the size, but the sweet potato fries especially were very good.
