Cowboys Leagues Club

Townsville


Right in the heart of town, this sprawling complex connected to the North Queensland Cowboys Rugby League Club has two restaurants. The Match Restaurant & Grill serves up tasty bistro-size meals, while the Star Graze is about share plates and build-your-own burgers. The atmosphere is casual, loud and parochial, a real slice of north Queensland life.

Buy a temporary membership ($2) for meal and drink discounts.
