Bombay Bicycle club for sure

this venue has the best food out of any other NPL venue i have played at by far, everything on the menu is decent, never missed a week there

Tim the TD is also very friendly and always up for a laugh

check it out, thursday nights

Couldn't have been said any better than that! You all gotta come down to Pooraka and see for your selves it's an awsome venue and there's always good NPL staff members working there, and also playing there.

Pooraka footy clubs my favorite by far. It's got a great atmosphere on both Tuesday and Sunday. The bar prizes are footy club prizes, cheap. The staff there are second to none, very friendly and aren't a bunch of tight arses when it comes to stamps. You find people will buy more because they don't feel forced to pay heaps for drinks. I predict this venue will get close to 100 within the next couple of seasons. :ugeek:

I see alot of people talking about how good it is at the pooraka footy club, the only thing people say is there are no meals there !!!
Well to let all you players know the kitchen will be open next season so you will be able to come to the best venue in town with the cheapest drinks, the best staff, greatest athmosphere & of course i will be there :D
so many thanks to tony and the staff well done and we will see you all down there next season
now we have a 100% perfect venue

That's great news!

Very much looking forward to visiting Pooraka FC again.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

Time to bring up an old thread


KENTISH ARMS has turned into my favourite venue, just the relaxed atmosphere of sitting in the beer garden drinking, playing poker and having a laugh with some great people makes it an enjoyable night

come down and check it out, Nathans bounty game this week too

I am looking forward to coming to sa mid next year and trying out some of these venues ... if you come to vic, head for geelong to the Norlane Hotel .. THE best bar meals, the nicest people, not cheap to drink, but the staff make up for it, Frances, Jack and so on ... great food and a great TD (Ivan) ... what more could you ask for?

My issue with some venues is that, even though the venue is great, they oft put the event in the worst part.

A nice part of playing cards socially is being in a nice looking environment. For example, I'd much rather play upstairs at the Highlander, than out the back. The Modbury was nice (albeit cramped) in the area it was in, but not in the front bar when it was there temporarily.

On a side note, I want to get photos of ALL VENUES. Even just one, to see what a place looks like, with tables setup, and also with action going on.
