Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club - West Ryde (NSW)

5 /5 Amit Walia: I saw improvements in staffing and cleanliness inside the venue. Its a big improvement just need little refinement on food items. Need to have some real cafe style food. There is no shortage of foot fall.

1 /5 Jessica McCarthy: Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club NOT FOR “a place at the heart of the community for all to enjoy". I recently booked two tickets for the Kids Pizza Cooking Class during the October 2025 school holidays at Ryde Eastwood Leagues. The club’s policy around membership was frustrating and poorly thought out. The booking page does mention that non-members must pay $5 to join the club in order to attend, but that doesn’t make the policy any more reasonable—especially for short, child-focused events. What’s worse is that the booking page explicitly asks parents to accompany their child, yet still forces them to sign in as members. That contradiction makes no sense. To top it off, the entry ticket is $15 for a small pizza—barely the size of a standard chopstick (about 23 cm) or a small hand. Charging $15 for something that size, and then requiring every non-member adult or child to pay an additional $5 for membership, feels like a greedy and unreasonable practice. Based on my conversations with other families today, I’m not alone—several parents also expressed frustration with this policy. My friend, who lives in Yagoona and isn’t local, was expected to pay for a membership just to accompany her son for a one-hour class. What for? She doesn’t live in the area and has no intention of using the venue beyond that hour I’m already a member and offered to sign her in as my guest, but the manager refused and said she didn’t need to be on the premises if she didn’t want to become a member. That response felt dismissive and completely missed the point. In the end, she waited in the carpark while I supervised her child inside—a workaround that felt unnecessary and awkward, all because of a rigid policy that doesn’t reflect genuine hospitality. It’s especially disappointing given that Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club promotes itself as “a place at the heart of the community for all to enjoy.” This kind of exclusionary, revenue-driven approach does not reflect that mission. ⚠️ Warning for families: DO NOT book any school holiday program at Ryde Eastwood Leagues if you are not a member. There are plenty of other programs out there that are free or reasonably priced—and far more welcoming. Please don’t feel pressured to pay or participate in practices that lack transparency and common sense.

5 /5 Ash P: We have been visiting Ryde Eastwood Club for years, just like much of our family, and it has truly become a beloved, universal place where we love to meet. Over the years, we’ve seen changes in ownership, but our experiences here have always been wonderful. On our most recent visit, we were served by a young man whose kindness and bubbly personality made the experience extra special. His service was absolutely fantastic and genuinely enhanced our meal. The food, as always, is excellent there’s never anything to fault, which is why we keep coming back. A big thank you to that young man for making our visit so enjoyable! Dining at Ryde Eastwood Club is always a pleasure, and we can’t recommend it highly enough

5 /5 Felicity Losurdo: I’ve been coming here for a while now and Phillip consistently provides exceptional service. He’s friendly, attentive and genuinely cares about the customer experience. His humour is always on point and knows exactly how to land a joke (especially when things dont go according to plan). Its a small detail that makes a big difference. Thanks for always bringing a warm and welcoming vibe to the club, a much needed change.

2 /5 Fiky Hani: I genuinely love this place — the environment is lovely and we’ve always enjoyed coming here. But as a mother, I have to speak up about what happened today. My child is only 3 years old, and She is (swimschool person) spoke to us in a way that felt quite rude and completely unnecessary.She was simply using two fingers — normal, harmless toddler behavior — yet the tone used toward us was abrupt and dismissive. Children deserve patience, gentleness, and understanding as they learn and explore. I hope this can be taken as constructive feedback, because we come here to feel welcome — not to have our little ones made to feel like they are doing something wrong just for being a child.
