Surfers Paradise Beer Garden

The Verdict

Surfers Paradise Beer Garden has re-opened after a multi-million-dollar renovation, taking full advantage of its prime location.

From the bold removal of the entire roof, inviting the gorgeous Gold Coast sunshine and salty breezes to come flooding inside, to the on-trend white and wood paneling, nautical accents, festoon lights and picnic tables donning umbrellas.

The Birdwatchers Bar lives on via a new wraparound deck, with sinkable couches and tables overlooking the palm trees and Cavill Avenue—it’s the perfect position for people-watching. Dining alfresco manifests its own vibe, though it’s the addition of adult games like foosball, a life-sized pool table (that you play with your feet) aswell as Jenga and Connect Four, that ensures no one takes themselves too seriously here.
