Welcome to the Katherine Club!
The Katherine Club, 'Where the good people meet' is located close to the town centre and offers air-conditioned comfort, live entertainment most weekends, monster raffles and the coldest beer in the town!
The Katherine Club's origins date back to 1967, when a number of local
residents decided that they wanted a place of their own to socialise
in. The Club started on premises in First Street and in 1972, moved to
the current location on the corner of O'Shea Terrace and Second Street.
The Club, through its members, seeks to benefit the local community.
This was perhaps best demonstrated during, and after, the Australia Day
Flood, in 1998. Manager Kevin Johns, then a new appointment, was
instrumental in setting up basic services. A mobile fridge trailer was
organized by Club management and dispatched from Darwin with two beer
taps on one side. Carlton United Breweries donated 15 kegs of beer and
the trailer was hooked up to the club's courtesy bus and driven through
the flood affected streets of Katherine to offer residents and the many
hardworking volunteers a refreshing ale or two during the clean up
efforts.
About a year later, the Katherine Club was a significant donor to
the Wollongong Flood Appeal. More recently, the Club was proud to
contribute to the appeal for the late Sergeant Glen Huitson, a police
officer tragically killed in the line of duty.
The Club has continued to grow, both in membership and in premises.
Currently there are over a thousand members, and the recently completed
bar and bistro renovations have attracted wide praise from members,
guests, and visitors alike.
The availability of two bars, one of which is non-smoking; the widely-praised Pedro's Bistro; as well as a range of amenities such as poker machines, pool tables, TAB, and Keno, means there's something for everyone at the Katherine Club.
