For what the chatswood club is it is pretty good, it's not trying to be an up market bar, nor is it trying to have the best restaurant. It is simply a cheap pub where you can enjoy happy hour drinks Monday - Wednesday where beers are only $3 . They have gone the extra step and organised regular entertainment on wednesdays.
The food is ok, the beer is ok, the price is gererally cheap and the staff and managers are quite relaxed which is hard to find on the lower north shore.
Hidden beneath a stack of office blocks is the Chatswood Club. To be honest it's nothing special but it has very cheap drinks, a full size snooker table and a large upstairs function room. Nothing flash but totally functional.
I agree, nothing too flash but always served me well when I lived over that way
