New Farm Bowls Club

New Farm Bowls Club brings together lawn bowls, live music and community events in a long-standing local venue beside New Farm Park. Established at its current Brunswick Street location in 1907, the club is one of Queensland’s older bowls clubs and remains active in both social and competitive bowls. It is also open to visitors looking for something beyond a traditional bowls day, with barefoot bowls, trivia, functions and regular music nights on the calendar.

Live music is scheduled for Tuesday evenings, with another music and members’ night held each Friday. Wednesday is dedicated to trivia, making the club a practical option for a midweek outing or a group booking. Barefoot bowls can be booked for social occasions, while the venue also caters for corporate functions, meetings, hens and bucks parties, birthdays and other gatherings. Its separate function room, added as part of a 2020 renovation, can accommodate groups from six to 150.

The club describes itself as friendly and welcoming, with a relaxed setting, bar, dining facilities and a bistro that caters for functions. The surrounding bowls greens and the connection to New Farm Park give the venue a distinctly local feel, while the programme of weekly events keeps it active beyond regular club play. The site also notes that family and social gatherings are welcome, making it suited to groups wanting an informal activity alongside food, drinks or entertainment.

Located on Brunswick Street in New Farm, the club is convenient for public transport: the 196 bus stops near the entrance and the New Farm City Cat terminal is about a two-minute walk away. Nearby parking is available on Brunswick Street and Lower Bowen Terrace, with access via a walkway. With a 4.4 Google rating from 407 reviews, New Farm Bowls Club is a well-established choice for Brisbane groups seeking bowls, music, trivia or a function space in a central riverside suburb.
