About Billy's Bistro

Russell Island’s quintessential RSL post delivers hearty, unpretentious club dining without the mainland price tag. Patrons drop in for affordable lunch specials—crisp John Dory with chips, grilled barramundi, and loaded seafood baskets. The dining room keeps things refreshingly straightforward, balancing cold tap beers with games on the pool tables and easy laughs among regulars. An island courtesy bus handles patron transit, leaving you free to linger over warm apple and pear pie topped with cream.

  • Patron Courtesy Bus: Dedicated island shuttle service provides seamless pickup and drop-off for club visitors.
  • Bistro Bar & Pool Tables: On-premise pool tables and a friendly bar setting make for relaxed island socializing.
