WHO WE ARE
Located in the heart of Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula, we welcome members and visitors alike.
Founded in 1919, we have a long tradition as a local hub for celebrations, commemorations and community support.
We are home to the renowned Tom Katz live music venue as well as the fabulous Sorrento Thai Restaurant. In summer we welcome The Kitchen Sorrento pop-up to expand our meals offering.
Like Sorrento and Portsea, Jack’s Bar & Lounge and The Terrace are cool in summer and warm in winter and are great spaces for an event or a casual drink with friends in a relaxed environment.
Sorrento Portsea RSL is proudly community-based, volunteer-run and not for profit. There are no gaming machines - our club is fully supported by the hard work of our people and the generosity of our members and visitors.
We are most grateful for your support which allows us to continue our good work.
YOU’RE ALWAYS WELCOME AT
