Keefer’s Bistro is located on the upper level of the Clubhouse. Boasting lovely, picturesque views over Beaumaris Bay and beyond, our restaurant offers excellent food and professional, friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere.
Whether you’re visiting for a special occasion or a casual get together, good food and service are guaranteed.
Thanks to its beautiful setting and easy access, Keefer’s Bistro is also a popular venue for all kinds of functions, from weddings to corporate events and everything in between.
The menu changes frequently according to seasonal availability of produce so we can use the freshest ingredients. Just ask our friendly staff what’s on the menu this week when making your booking.
The restaurant is named after Keefer’s Boatshed, our neighbouring building of many years. The shed was established in the early 1900s by Charles Keefer as a boat hire business and later as a mussel farm, before being destroyed by fire in 1984.
BMYS members offered to facilitate the reconstruction of this historic landmark. They allowed access through the Club’s grounds to enable both the Keefer’s site to be cleared, and the boat shed and facilities to be rebuilt in time for the next crop of mussels to be harvested the following October. Unfortunately however, the reconstruction did not eventuate.
Our chef Armin Pfister operates his own catering company, Catering by the Sea. As the sole BMYS contract caterer for several years now, Armin is sensitive to the specific culinary preferences of the club members while also maintaining a fresh approach to event client needs.
With catering experience spanning decades, Armin has brought a new level of sophistication to the function and event offerings at BMYS. He has held executive positions at Jupiters Casino, Crown, and more recently as Executive Chef at Lobster Cave in Beaumaris. Armin is also well-known in the area for having operated Citrus restaurant for many years.
As a creative chef, Armin will gladly explore whatever theme or style of cuisine you wish to incorporate into your event. Each week he sets out to showcase some of these innovations and changes during our weekly Bistro service. We invite anyone considering hosting a large-scale event at BMYS to book a table one Friday evening and sample some of our menu options.
The Sports Bar is situated on the ground floor of the Clubhouse and opens out onto the Club’s BBQ area and children’s playground.
Quality bar meals are available Thursday to Sunday for family, friends and the local community. The BMYS Sports Bar also caters for sporting enthusiasts and has a large TV with Foxtel access.
For those looking for great hospitality in a casual environment the sports bar is a great place to visit.
