City of Melbourne Bowls Club

The City of Melbourne Bowls Club (CoMBC) is a vibrant, inclusive community hub located in the heart of Melbourne and easily accessible by Public Transport. With a proud 159-year history, the Club blends tradition with innovation, offering a welcoming space for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect through sport, conversation, and shared meals. Inspired by the Chatty Café movement, CoMBC is expanding its role beyond bowls to foster social inclusion and combat loneliness. Our community spirit, casual bowling sessions, and friendly events are designed to bring people together—especially seniors, newcomers, and those seeking connection. We offer affordable, accessible activities including casual bowls, affordable light food and beverage offering, and themed events, all supported by a passionate team of volunteers and staff. Whether you're here to play, chat, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, CoMBC is a place where friendships flourish and everyone feels at home.
