Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Bistro on Bywong is the dining space at West Toowong Bowls Club, a relaxed local venue in Toowong set in the foothills of Mount Coot-tha, around 6km from Brisbane CBD. Its renovated colonial clubhouse, shaded verandah and views across the bowling green give it a more distinctive setting than a standard neighbourhood restaurant. The club welcomes families, university students, social bowlers and visitors, making it a suitable choice for an easy meal, a casual drink or a get-together with a difference.
The bistro serves dinner on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, with bar snacks available from 3pm and full dinner service from 5pm to 8pm. The menu changes regularly, while the venue also caters for group functions including barefoot bowls, birthdays and other celebrations. Catering options include finger food and self-service banquets, with choices such as Korean pork dumplings, buttermilk fried chicken wings, beef stroganoff with penne and roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic. For larger gatherings, the club can also discuss catering requests and bar tab packages. It is a practical option for groups wanting food, drinks and lawn bowls in one welcoming West Brisbane location.
