Semaphore & Port Adelaide RSL Sub-Branch is a family freindly venue and we welcome members and visitors alike to enjoy the hospitality, entertainment, camaraderie and mate-ship that we present at our fantastic club facilities across from the foreshore and our beautiful Semaphore beach.
Enjoy, relax, eat and drink with ocean views and evening sea breeze at the Sub-Branch which locals know is one of Adelaide’s best kept secrets. Semaphore & Port Adelaide RSL offers spectacular views of the wonderful Semaphore Jetty and Foreshore, our club rooms are surrounded by the colourful Semaphore Road shopping precinct and on the hub all local festivals, street fairs and market days. Just a stones throw away from historical Port Adelaide we trade Wednesday through to Sunday.
Hi Members and Friends,
I hope you all had a safe and happy Easter weekend. For myself it's been a weekend of relaxing with family, BBQs with friends and too much chocolate!
Last Thursday night we held our Members’ night with a cash draw jackpot of $1,000! All but one of us will be happy to hear that Nathan Mula was not at the club to collect the cash, so up it goes to $1100 this Friday. That has to be worth coming in to the club for an hour or two this Friday.
“Everyone had an absolutely brilliant night, everything went smoothly and all the staff were lovely”
E. Galvin (Birthday Party, March 2017)
“I had an amazing night, the facilities, staff and location are wonderful. Thank you so much for making my birthday the fun event that it was. I would certainly recommend the RSL”
E. Pease (Birthday Party, January 2017)

The Semaphore and Port Adelaide RSL has always had a proud history of being one of the leading South Australian RSL Sub-Branch's. Even before the Sub-Branch was officially established in 1923 as the Semaphore and Port Adelaide R.S.S.I.L.A. (Returned Soldiers & Sailors Imperial League of Australia), the people of Semaphore and Port Adelaide had always been there for the Australian Men and Women who served their country.
Kids have always been welcomed at The Semaphore & Port Adelaide RSL and now we have a little area put aside for them to keep themselves busy while mum and dad relax, have a chat or catch up with friends.
