Bert’s

The Verdict

If you grew up near City Beach, chances are you’ve heard of the original Bert’s—the iconic surf kiosk that was a local hangout from the ’50s to the early ’60s. Now, it's making a comeback, and ready to serve a whole new generation of sandy-footed surfers and locla grommets as it takes over the old Odyssea spot in late August.

Bert’s isn’t just for one kind of visitor—it’s designed for everyone. Whether you’re rolling in for a casual date, dragging the kids straight from the sand with salty hair and sandy feet, or walking your dog along the coast, Bert’s welcomes you like an old friend. It’s all about embracing that easygoing coastal vibe and celebrating community in its truest form.

While the new Bert’s is a full-service pub and dining venue, it keeps the spirit of the original alive through thoughtful design touches—think timber features inspired by the old kiosk—creating a space that feels warm, inviting, and true to City Beach’s roots. Now open, Bert’s is ready to be your new go-to spot to relax, reconnect, and soak up all the best bits of coastal living.
