CSi Club Southport has played an important part in the Southport community for over 50 years. It all began with a group of working-class locals who would meet each Sunday to enjoy a few cold beers and a yarn at the location where our Club now stands. During one of these catch ups, the decision was made to form their own Trade Union Club, and so the hard work of raising funds and community support began. It was in 1967 that their dream became a reality and on the site of the old Southport Railway Station they opened the doors to the Southport Workers Club. After extensive renovations, the decision was made to rebrand as CSi Club Southport inc. We now host alfresco dining in The Laneway restaurant, 199 gaming machines, five full service bars, live & free entertainment every Friday & Saturday night, state of the art TAB & KENO facilities, multiple function & event spaces, a giant kidz zone with jungle gym, and over 300 car parks around the club, including a multi-level car park located at the back of the club off Railway Street.
