Tattersall’s Club was founded in 1865 by a group of gentlemen who were prominent in both business and in the thoroughbred horseracing industry in Queensland. The Club derives its name from Tattersall's, the London horse auction mart and “subscription rooms” founded in 1776.

For almost 150 years Tattersall’s Club has been associated with the growth of Brisbane and Club Membership now spans all the professions, government, commerce and sports.

In 1997 the Club’s redevelopment was completed to include the Healy Room fine dining restaurant, Tattersall’s Function Centre catering for up to 300 patrons, 18 Accommodation suites, fully equipped Gymnasium, 25 metre indoor heated swimming pool, Library, Business Centre and administration offices.
