For those who’ve recently enjoyed this local icon, you’ll know that Wallsend Diggers isn't just another club – it's where locals go to unwind, catch up with mates, and enjoy a proper meal. The club has built a solid reputation around good food, regular entertainment, and a genuine care for the community it serves.
The big drawcard is The Steakhouse, which has quickly become the go-to spot for anyone wanting a decent feed. The menu focuses on quality cuts and generous portions – think perfectly cooked rump steaks, tender scotch fillets, and a parmi that actually lives up to the hype. It's the kind of place where you can bring the family for dinner or meet friends for lunch without breaking the bank.
Monday through Thursday, The Bistro keeps things simple with $15 Members' Specials. The Tuesday Tacos have taken off in a big way – who doesn't love a bit of spice midweek? The rotating menu means there's always something different to try, from hearty steaks to pizza deals that won't leave your wallet empty.
Entertainment is a big part of what makes Wallsend Diggers tick. They regularly book local musicians alongside some well-known Australian acts, turning quiet weekends into something worth sticking around for. Saturday sessions are relaxed affairs, while Friday nights often end up with people hitting the dance floor. It's the kind of atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back.
The club takes its community connections seriously. They're active supporters of local charities, veterans' groups, and sporting teams – it's not just talk, they actually get involved. This commitment to giving back is part of what sets them apart from other venues. Membership comes with real benefits. Members receive discounts on food and drinks, access to exclusive promotions, and opportunities to win in weekly raffles and draws. Those Wednesday and Sunday jackpots can get pretty exciting when the numbers start climbing.
Sports fans will find plenty to like here, too. With big screens and a crowd that gets into the action, it's a solid choice for watching the footy or any major sporting event.
The Steakhouse has really put Wallsend Diggers on the map as a place that takes food seriously while maintaining the relaxed club atmosphere people expect.
