Returned & Service League Mosman Sub Branch

When I first moved to Mosman, I though that the local RSL had really dipped out on location — most seem to be in prime positions, on headlands and waterfronts, yet here was the Mosman branch in a non-​descript building in the middle of a retail strip.
Once inside and upstairs, though, it’s clear that this is no poor-​cousin. Its roof-​top view of the city is exceptional, especially when the high-​rise lights are sparkling after dark or the coat-​hanger of the Harbour Bridge is etched into the sunset.
Like most RSLs, expect a good basic cheap meal. There’s lots of space for groups, though the bigger the crowd the more challenge the kitchen seems to have getting the meals out anywhere near on time or together — in fact, even getting the right meals out at all!

RSLs provide a much needed service and are of great support to the community, young and especially old. It’s worth supporting them therefore with your membership fee and frequent visits. If you live within 5 km radius of the club you’re required to sign up for an annual membership ($ 10) but this allows you to sign other guests in and visit other RSLs in the area without having to sign up again.
Spread out over 3 levels they provide a whole range of entertainment: Bingo, Trivia, Members Draws (gotta love a meat tray), Raffles, Poker as well as Live Entertainment every Friday and Sunday.
Sibyl’s Bistro (doncha love the name) serves up good counter meals at reasonable prices. The usual fare of meats, fish and deep fried entrees but the food is really very good and there a selection of fresh salads to accompany your meals. It’s a great spot for families with plenty of room for the kids to wander though be aware that children aren’t allowed in the ‘cocktail’ area of the bar in the evening. This isn’t a problem though as there’s so much space.
Now for the best bit, Mosman RSL is rivalled only by its Kirribilli brother in terms of view. The view from the rooftop bar here is stunning. Sitting here, schooner in hand as the sun sets is very special indeed.
