Southport Pavilion

Situated on the edge of the Nerang River, the waterfront Southport Pavilion boasts magnificent views of the Surfers Paradise skyline and the Gold Coast hinterland. While the literal waterfront location is undoubtedly the jewel in Southport Pavilion’s crown, the fit-out is seriously impressive with coastal blue and white tones paying homage to its prime location, reminiscent of Euro-style beach clubs. 

The multi-level venue boasts a grand 300 seats and encompasses multiple dining—and drinking—areas to suit any occasion. Take your pick between the outside upper and lower decks for sunset sips, the interior dining space for a relaxed dinner or level up and book the waterfront cabanas with bottle service—girls night out, we think yes.

The share-style menu speaks to the very essence of Southport Pavilion—sharing good times with loved ones in a pristine location. Start with small snacks, like the kilpatrick oysters, before deciding between classic mains and burgers and finishing strong with their concise dessert selection.

The popular seafood platter and charcuterie board are top choices for when drinks are the main star of your evening. Speaking of drinks, colourful cocktails take centre stage but the team has also curated a slick lineup of wines, local beers and spirits.
