Merlo Coffee Cup – 2025


The Merlo Coffee Cup has commenced, starting on February 1st.
The West Toowong Bowls Club has entered teams in Division 2 Red, and Division 3 Red.


Last year we held our own, and came away as the Division 2 winners of the 2024 B.D.B.A Summer competition.

This year so far, in Round 1 The Div 2 team had a loss 63 – 45 against Enogerra and the Div 3 team has had a solid 68 – 36 win against Ferny Grove, capturing 5 points.

We can’t wait to see what happens next, and wish our bowlers the best of luck as the competition progresses!

Most menu items can be prepared without gluten or dairy on request.

Bar Refurb Completed!


Our little bar has been holding us up for many a year now, she’s had a few different faces over that time, and after all this hard work she’d become a little weary.
Thankfully we were only too happy to show her a little love!
We’ve gone ahead and refurbed the whole thing, replacing bar surfaces for staff and customers alike.

Whilst the main structure remains the same, she’s been reworked for function and appearance on both sides, removing the tiles on the front and replacing with a strong poly-vinyl covering.

We think the simple yet modern look is both fantastic and functional, and we invite you along to come and give her a try!
Further congratulations go to Cam and Sean, winners of the local’s efforts to be the first in line to trial the new bar at her opening, christening her with a couple of cold ones!

Well done lads!
