Upper Yarra RSL — Restaurant in Melbourne

I don't think I have ever given a one star before. After ordering meals I went to the bar to get a coke and coffee. Standing there for 4 min while the staff member was going thru her phone till another person came to the bar to collect his win from the pokies, must have been a local as she told to wait while she went and got him sorted. Finally when she served me I inquired about my DVA pension card which has no value at this venue only member's cards and senior citizens card. So the venue does not support department of veterans affairs card. The meals are well over priced and under delivered,$20 for hamburger for example. Had better meals at a takeaway place. People were wearing thongs so the dress code was enforced (maybe a local or member). If the RSL can't support veterans affairs why are they call return service league?. So the meals aren't that flash for the dollars they changed for them. I was with a table of 10 adults. Won't be going back to that venue again. I think the people that give it 5 stars are member's,...

We just returned home from the Upper Yarra RSL for a meal with the kids. Every time we go to the Upper Yarra RSL they give us a reason not to come back, Eg; there is no mention or pictures of the current VC winners the dress code is not enforced because they want to upset their customers. The flags that are flown are ripped and not lite at night, premixed drinks are now served in cans (Jim Beam & Coke) a five-minute wait at the bar because the bar staff are in the office doing what hell knows. Nothing stands out on the menu, make it easy, two params how do you stuff that up, easy for the Upper Yarra RSL serve one cold and drench in oil. Tonight was the straw at broke the camels back, as a former soldier the is a call for me to support the RSL it should be a place where I feel a belonging instead, i feel disgusted and sad. An OR'S Booza is run better and has higher standers then the Upper Yarra RSL. The attached picture is a $24.80 Parma. Upper Yarra RSL you...

R.S.Ls are a mixed bag. Sometimes they have cool guns on the wall. Sometimes you forget you have a hat on and get scolded. But generally they're tolerable places to get drunk, humble affairs, usually. This one is in a nice spot. It served us alcohol and had very yellow chips. Radioactive almost. Rugby chips, I call them. You know the ones you'd get at a sports match in a cardboard cup as a kid. And there'd be heaps of sauce on the top and none at the bottom. Aparantly the Parma was surprisingly good. I always wondered how they made fillets of chicken flesh so large. Chickens aren't that big. There were ostriches down the road. They were fun. Much larger than chickens, such...
