More than a club — it's the heart of the neighbourhood.
Pull up a chair. Since day one, Runaway Bay Junior Leagues Club has been the kind of place where the locals know your name, the kids are welcome, and a great feed never breaks the bank.
Freshly revamped with light, airy interiors that look straight out over the home ground, we're proud to be your easy, everyday local — for a quick lunch, a long Sunday session, a celebration, or just a quiet cold one after work.
From the famous parmi and juicy steaks to woodfired pizza and our Sunday roast — it's honest, generous cooking the whole family will love. And yes, the locals reckon the prices are too good to be true.
Pop in for a $15 weekday lunch, grab a coffee and cake at the café, or settle in for dinner. No bookings needed for a casual bite — but for a table with the crew, we'll save you a spot.
Our freshly revamped function space pairs a brand-new bar with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the home ground — golden by day, glowing by night.
Birthdays, engagements, wakes, corporate get-togethers, fundraisers and club nights — whatever the occasion, our team crafts the package to suit your crowd and your budget. Add a DJ or jukebox and we'll take care of the rest.
A few of the notes and reviews our members and visitors have left us. Every one is real — and every one made someone here smile.
I spent my birthday points on a lamb shank. My wife and I hosted a cooking show with Hayden Quinn from MasterChef at our home some years ago — we know something about cooking. The lamb shank was the best I have ever tasted, ever. The gravy was absolutely divine, the sides cooked to perfection. If it were presented on a MasterChef competition, it would be a clear 10.

We would like to acknowledge the friendliest club on the Gold Coast. From the moment we walked into reception we were greeted so warmly and led into the club — she found us a table for five, which was no easy task in a crowded club. All the staff were super friendly. Food was great, we will be back.

Dinner with friends on a Sunday evening. Lovely environment, a good wide-ranging menu, lovely food and great service, all at a very reasonable price. We both had roast pork with crackling, followed by sticky date pudding — just like mum used to make! What more could we ask?

Went to dinner with a group of 10 for my niece's 12th birthday. Food was fantastic — fresh, hot and well presented — but the highlight was the magician walking around entertaining people. He was fantastic, and such a great new way of introducing something different.

I've been a regular for several years — a weekly lunch special with my family — and I wanted to shout a huge thank you to all the staff! The service is absolutely awesome. Demi and Aurora are so efficient, competent and friendly, along with the boss, Ash, who often pops by the bistro tables and welcomes guests with a smile or a joke.

What a fun night we had — a club promotion giving away a jet ski and prizes. The club was really buzzing. The staff were run off their feet but still kept smiling and giving good service. Congratulations to the team for keeping it all together on such a busy night.

It's such a great league club! Staff are great, beers are cheap, and the facilities are always clean. The restaurant has great variety, and the locals are always friendly. Memberships are great, and you get rewarded quite well on birthdays.
You'll find us on Morala Avenue — directly across from the Runaway Bay Sports Centre and only 500m from the shopping centre. Easy parking, easy to find, easy to love.
