"Great family friendly club that provides a safe and fun environment for the whole community. The Wednesday Steak night is a favourite for my family. My kids love the indoor play area. The staff are always so friendly and accomodating. Staff went out of their way for my husbands birthday, putting candles on a piece of cake and singing happy birthday!"

"Really disappointed with the costs and quantity of the platters at Club Eastside.
Had two kids birthdays this weekend, both family members.
One birthday at Gillen Club - 8 kids and 13 adults and one at Club Eastside - 12 kids and 10 adults.
Gillen Club we had 6 platters - 2 x meat, 2 x pizza, 1 x fruit and 1 x sliders, just over $500
Club Eastside, we had 8 platters - 2 x meat, 2 x sandwiches, 2 x fruit, 1 x antipasto and 1 x vegan, all up approx $1100. Add on jugs of soda as well as the takeaway containers.
Sandwiches - egg, ham and salami. $135.
All smothered in some sort of chutney or relish and not one kid ate a salami sandwich. Who the heck gives out that many salami sandwiches at a kids birthday.
Meat platters - Couldn't find any buffalo wings, unless nibbles are what they classify them as, both had about $10 worth chips (and that's a stretch), 4 Mince pies, nuggets, a few tenders, 4 quiche and 6 saus rolls. Was this worth $140 - hardly!!
Fruit platter - decorated ok, very thinly sliced, seem like one quarter of the three melon varieties were used. Could they not afford more than 2 oranges. For $135 per platter, I'm sure they could.
Antipasto $135 and Vegan $125. Each had 3 x cherry tomatoes cut in half and the food did not even cover the board. What a joke!!
The only abundant things on offer were the sauces.
The quantity on the platters, seriously did not justify the cost and I guarantee that it did not feed 10 people, well maybe the sandwiches would have if most werent salami and each one smothered in chutney.
If would have been cheaper if we had just ordered food off the menu. Would have been well under $1k and everyone would have been fed.
It seems that Gillen Club provides value for money and decent size platter portions.
Club Eastside not as good as it once was for the platter servings compared to a couple of years ago and I recommend that people discuss the platter options with staff to know exactly what you'll be getting
Word of advice, if ordering the sandwich platter, be sure to advise them of what fillings you would like. I wish I had done so.
Platters from here will not be on the menu for us again."

"Was in Alice for a couple of months and went just about everywhere. Sadly I didn't hear about this place til right before I left. Nice meals, good fun atmosphere, plenty of big screens to watch sport, good choice of food and drink, great beer garden... also had a large indoor playground so would be a good spot for lunch with the family for sure 😃"

Living in Alice Springs: What you need to know
I always love looking at house prices, especially when a two-bedroom apartment in Eastside (the Bondi Junction of Alice) is about 250k — that’s pocket change for Sydney homeowners. My rent is far cheaper in Alice than I was paying in Coogee. I pay $140 for a little caravan in the backyard of a friendly hostel.
