Be bowled over at Monbulk

Check out the bistro’s new menu for delicious seasonal dishes.

The Monbulk Bowling Club continues to stand strong in the face of adversity, providing food, fun and friendship for locals even through hard times.

A combination of Covid restrictions and extreme weather conditions have proven difficult for businesses in the region. Outside of lockdowns, the team at the Monbulk Bowling Club is now open to the public, serving delicious, good value meals and thirst-quenching drinks, as well as providing a warm and welcoming family-friendly atmosphere.

Locals are encouraged to gather loved ones once lockdown lifts and enjoy a casual game of barefoot bowls or a meal together. Hosting bowls competitions for over 55 years, the club caters for beginners to experienced bowlers.

Friendly staff at the club will make guests feel welcome and appreciated. General manager Brendan Cox explains the downstairs lounge and bar area has recently been refurbished to provide an even more comfortable vibe for patrons.

“It is a place where you really get that small town, easy-going feeling with enough space to cater for all sorts of catch ups from a few friends to large functions,“ said Brendan.

As spring approaches, the club’s bistro menu is also undergoing a change, providing lighter menu items to choose from, while keeping the classics available.

The bistro offers great food for the whole family. On Wednesdays enjoy the $15 parma special. Thursday is the bowlers special – a burger, beer and bowls for $25.

Kids eat free with a paid adult meal all week (kid’s meals only 12 and under). Upgrade the kid’s meal to include a kid’s drink, ice-cream and activity pack for $4. There is also a seniors’ menu for those 60 and over and seniors’ specials.

Find the Monbulk Bowling Club at 11 Moores Road, Monbulk. The bistro is open Wednesday to Sunday from 5.30pm. Please call us to cater for all your Christmas functions. For bookings, phone 9756 6183.
