You’ve knocked off work early and you’re headed to the Gold Coast for a weekend away or a sun soaked beach getaway. All that packing, planning, and travelling is thirsty business! Lucky for you there are some brilliant watering holes near our Surfers Paradise accommodation. The only problem you’ll have will be choosing which one to try out first!
Fridays on the Lawn
If you can think of nothing better than a laid back atmosphere to enjoy a cool beverage or two, we highly recommend Fridays on the Lawn at Home of the Arts (HOTA). From 4:30pm you can pull up a spot at the Lawn Bar and take your time enjoying a bite to eat and sipping on a cold one to the serene sounds of talented local musical artists. Check out the artist lineup here.
House of Brews
With 32 craft beers on tap, you’ll be spoiled for choice if a frothy cold one tops the list of must-haves for a Friday night. Situated on Orchid Ave in Surfers Paradise, it’s the only rooftop cocktail bar around. Listed as one of the best bars on the Gold Coast, and with an award winning menu featuring some pretty serious soul food, not to mention an extensive cocktail menu to top it all off, it’s a real find. Find out more and browse the menu here.
Cuban Carnival Party
The Cuban Bar and Lounge plays host to a Cuban Carnival Party every Friday night in Broadbeach. From latin amewrican inspired dishes and cocktails to glamourous showgirls performing and keeping you entertained, there’s no vibe quite like it! Sequins, feathers, music and vibrant atmosphere. There’s a reason Cuba has a reputation as the party capital, and it’s yours to experience.
Steampunk
Step back into the 19th century with Steampunk. Think industrial cogs, piping, leather, and machinery from and era where steam power was all the rage. Bring all of this together with a futuristic theme, and then add in incredible food and a cocktail menu to die for. $10 espresso martinis are available all day long, and you can cozy up in a booth inside or step out into the sunshine and enjoy a bevy on the deck overlooking Surfers Paradise.
No matter which of these incredible Friday night options you choose, you won’t be able to get enough of the vibrant nightlife, exciting spots to find and enjoy, and our ideally situated location in the heart of Surfers Paradise and just steps from all the best attractions, eateries, and of course the stretch of sandy white beaches at your disposal.
Choose from 1, 2, or 3 bedroom apartments with your own private balcony to enjoy ocean or hinterland views. Check out our self-contained Surfers Paradise holiday apartments here.
