Moxy’s Rooftop Bar

The Verdict

Moxy’s Rooftop Bar is the Gold Coast’s latest addition to the rooftop scene. Its owners have worked hard to create a space that fits nicely between a thumping nightclub and a formal restaurant. It’s a place to come together, enjoy some drinks, have a nibble, and take in live music and DJ sets. Located on Griffith Street, it’s an easy walk from the sands of Coolangatta Beach (post-surf beer, anyone?).

The food is casual Mexican, with all your favourite tacos, nachos and dips on the menu. But it’s the drinks that you come here for. Check out their list of custom-made cocktails, which includes the Flower Power (elderflower gin with cucumber, aloe vera and vegan whites), El Chapo (a twist on the classic espresso martini, made with cacao-infused tequila, Kahlua and a splash of pineapple juice), and the Acai Berry Mojito (fresh acai berry, rum and mint). They also do all of your favourite classics.
