St. Leonards & St. Ives Ex-Services Club

Have been a member for years.Great atmosphere.

Basic 'working mens' or 'ex services' members' drinking club like so many others. A drab building right in amongst the houses in a residential area.The club proposition comprises cheapish beer, snooker, quizzes and local entertainment acts.The nearest pub is half a mile away (St Leonards Hotel) and beyond that you're looking at a 2 mile journey either to the Fish on the western edge of Ringwood, or to the Three Legged Cross, located in the eponymous hamlet to the north west.I mention this purely to illustrate that the Club has a unique opportunity to give many local people an alternative to driving out somewhere for a pint, meal or entertainment. I'm just not sure it's capitalising on that advantage.

Very helpful staff. So welcoming. Very clean & comfortable club.

Went there for darts match.Good fun,good grub & very nice place.

Just went for a dart evening so can't really comment on anything else to do with the club.

Lovely people and a lovely atmosphere inside. Really quite unique and special.

Since joining this club we have made lots of new friends and pop down there about 3 times a week as its local and convenient. Lots of events over the Christmas period

I have been a member sInce 2013. It is a good drinking bar. Membership is open to all, not just ex-services. They host regular fundraisers for Help 4 Heroes and other charities. Friendly place.

I have been a regular at the Club for many years and am currently serving as Chairman.We are a family Club and have live entertainment on a Saturday night, to hopefully suit across the board. We are trying to push forward to increase membership and appeal to the late 20's 30's and forties age groups. There will soon be younger live bands monthly to start with on a Friday night. We are also starting to provide outdoor seating in the nice weather.All in all a very friendly place to visit. Recently we opened our Memorial garden to remember those who gave their lives in service to this Country and the garden is available to the wider community for quiet contemplation etc.
