The Scarborough-Wombarra Bowling Club ticks all the boxes for an old-school bowling club:
Cheap drinks (about $6 for beers and wines)? Tick!
Barefoot bowls in the sun? Tick!
On-site bistro with a variety of meals under $20 (in this case, half-Australia, half-Thai)? Tick!
Old school decor, with toilets that haven't been renovated in 60 years? Tick!
It was a fun spot for a casual lunch, with only the weather letting down the experience. Half the table ordered casual bistro staples (like burgers and fish and chips), while the other half stuck to Thai dishes, and all were quite good, if not that exciting. Bowls are $12 per adult, and quite casual in organisation (we paid for the number of bowl sets, and alternated between different people, with no complaints). read more
