    The venue is amazing The food menu very boring and unexciting. I'm sure there is a better tapas menu to serve and it would be much busier.

    Fabulous service. Great food (We had the wagyu burger and the cauliflower sandwich). A beautiful Gold Coast view. What more could you ask for on Australia Day? 5 Stars.

The service was outstanding and the food amazing!. It was great to see Mayor Tom there as well! Highly recommend this venue to any one that abides here as well as is merely passing through.

    Such a great spot to have a drink or grab a small bite to eat. The ambience was great with the DJ playing some awesome old school soul tunes. Loved this bar way more than I thought I actually would. A great view and lovely staff too, who recommended some things for us to do during our stay in GC. Love that it wasn’t in the hustle and bustle of the rest of city and it was kinda tucked away in its own corner.

    This is my favourite bar. Tom Angel, the Bar Manager creates the best cocktails. At the moment my favourite is the peach slushy... accompanied with the best cheeseburger on the Gold Coast. The view is fantastic and the staff are sensational.
