The Members’ Bar has long been regularly visited by Queensland’s business and political elite. It is the meeting place for Members’ and their guests, and is frequently used for both Club events and private functions.

It was the scene in the yesteryear of the ritualistic Monday morning settling by bookmakers and their clients. The Long Bar has witnessed the results of many a betting plunge, successful and unsuccessful.

The bar itself is distinctive with it’s maple panelling and overhead punkahs, reminiscent of Singapore’s Raffles Hotel.

The Members’ Bar menu is designed to serve the modern business person, with options designed for a quick lunch away from the office. The Bar offers a range of beverage options, including a new craft beer tap. Members and guests are welcome to enjoy a coffee, quick lunch or an after work drink in the bar Monday through until Friday.

The Group’s founding mandate includes involvement in a number of projects and events including the holding and supporting of regular lectures and contact with kindred bodies upon matters of common interest.

The Heritage Interest Group welcomes all M embers of Tattersall’s Club and their guests to attend its various functions, join the Interest Group if so desired and in particular to offer their services to actively contribute towards and engage with its activities.

In the early days, Tattersall’s Club started it’s development with the assistance of the newly formed Queensland Turf Club, sharing presidents, secretaries and meeting places until the two were well established enough to be independent.

From it’s beginnings as a racing club with a handful of wealthy punters, Tattersall’s Club has grown to accommodate over 5,000 Members, state of the art facilities and a modern function centre, whilst remaining one of Australia’s most prestigious private Membership Clubs.

The building’s design was based on the designs of London’s original horse auction rooms, which were founded in 1776.

The Queen Street front was not acquired until 1935, and cemented the Club as part of the Brisbane CBD footprint. Former Club President, Thomas Ramsay Hall, was the Club’s unofficial architect and worked with his firm Hall and Prentice to design the building.

In 1997, the decision was made to invest in a two stage redevelopment of the Club including a new retail arcade, ground floor entrance and first floor foyer.

In addition to second stage redevelopment, facilities including a new kitchen, gymnasium, dining and function rooms, library and office facilities were also developed.

The Wine Room is a boutique cellar offering Members and guests a variety of wine personally handpicked by the Club’s Cellarmaster.
