Best Nightlife in Burleigh Heads

"The Star, a luxury 596-room hotel that has been part of the Gold Coast scene for decades, has had a 75 million Australian Dollar facelift as part of a major redevelopment of Queensland's first casino complex, adding extra sparkle to an already glamorous property."

"If you’re looking for heavy hitters, you’ve found the place. The Star Gold Coast Casino is the premier destination for gamblers in Gold Coast. It’s the biggest and best full-fledged casino in the area."

"Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening in Miami (Gold Coast, not Florida), the Miami Marketta gets taste buds sizzling with flavours from around the world. Perfect for families, this outdoor dining experience has undercover seating for up to 450 people and offers a vibrant atmosphere filled with live jazz and blues music, boutique wines, locally brewed beer and of course, great food inspired by here, there and everywhere.

"Completed with live bands, international food stalls, and a “Gin Parlour” – all under bright colors and twinkling lights. Highlight: Seoul Sisters street food. Location: 23 Hillcrest Parade Miami, Gold Coast"

"There’s no better way to make the most of the Gold Coast’s famously good weather than heading on up to The Island’s rooftop for their Grazy Days all inclusive brunch. For just $69 per person you’ll be served a cheese grazing platter, salt and pepper squid and lamb cutlets, and, of course, unlimited booze. You can choose from their house wines, their very own range of Rooftop Spritz and soft drinks and juices."

"Located in the heart of Surfers Paradise, The Island offers modern boutique accommodation with the popular Rooftop Bar and vibrant restaurant and bar, Goldie. Guests can relax on the sun terrace, or enjoy a swim in the pool. The vibrant bars, restaurants and shops of the Gold Coast are all within a 5-minute walk."

"A bit of elbow grease has hauled a landmark hotel well and truly back to its heyday. The Coast’s newest boutique lodging is home to a retro-styled rooftop bar. The sprawling alfresco patio is one of the trendiest places to sink a few in the sun."

"Nostalgic surfer chic meets Miami catwalk cool” at QT Gold Coast, as the hotel rightfully boasts. With dazzling views of the Gold Coast, its 297 rooms embody the glamour expected of Surfers Paradise, the party playground of Australia.

"Address: 7 Staghorn Ave, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217Instagram: @QTGoldCoast. This beachside destination is a wonder to the eye and sits in the middle of Gold Coast’s tourist destination, Surfers Paradise. Post-check in, unwind at the spa with a full body massage."

"Look no further than one of the city’s best day spas – the quirky and retro-styled Spa Q at the QT. Keeping to QT’s traditional themes of 50s-inspired décor, this gorgeous day spa offers a range of treatments starting from $80."

"Head to Lonestar Tavern in Mermaid Waters for a family meal, and a fab kids menu. If you are lucky, it might be a FREE movie night – Kids tonight eat free, and there’s free popcorn too!. Plus, every Tuesday kids eat free (with any main meal purchased)."

"There’s less actual playground equipment here at Justins Park than the two previous mentioned, but from a Daddy perspective this is my favourite park purely becasue of where it is. Burleigh Heads is such a great family friendly town and this park is in the heart of everything. You’ve got the basic equipment like swings, slides, and monkey bars, plus plenty of BBQ and picnic facilities, but the kicker is your smack back overlooking beautiful Burleigh Beach with views all the way to Surfers Paradise."

"Escape city hustle and bustle at picturesque Historic Rivermill on Beaudesert-Nerang Road in Mount Nathan. Visit alpacas, deer, goats, ducks, chooks and turtles while taking in stunning hinterland vis..."

"What could scream Gold Coast more than a brewery set up by four of the Gold Coast’s best-ever pro surfers, including three-time world champ, Mick Fanning, and his best mate, 2012 world champ Joel Parkinson?. They set up Balter Brewing Company in Currumbin Waters’ formerly very unfashionable industrial estate and now it’s the place to be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. But this is one brewery that doesn’t rely solely on its star power: Balter won Champion Medium Size Brewery in Australia at the 2017 Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA), as well as Best International Pale Ale."

"Balter is a favourite amongst locals, and established by a couple of surfing legends. With a ten-fold expansion, this brewing company is going nowhere but up in the coming years."

"When: Wednesday-Friday 3pm- 8pm, Saturday 12pm – 8pm, Sunday 12pm – 6pm. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Balter Brewing Company (@balterbrewers)"

"This list wouldn’t be complete without a shoutout to Burleigh Brewing Co., an iconic craft beer destination. After over a decade in the business, it’s safe to say these guys know what they’re doing, and after tasting one of their award-winning brews you’ll know why. The bustling Burleigh spot has excellent vibes, and is the perfect place to spend an afternoon trying out one of the 24 beers on tap, whilst enjoying the live music and range of food trucks."

"Burleigh HeadsThese guys spearheaded the Gold Coast’s independent craft brewing scene that we know and love today.

"One of the "OG" brewing companies on the scene - the Burleigh Brewing Company have created quite the name for themselves. With frequent live music and events, the brewery is a hit with all beer lovers."

"The Gold Coast’s very first James Squire Brewhouse, The Lucky Squire, just opened (in June) – and it’s one of the largest venues to open on the Coast in years. Built within the trendy Oracle Boulevard precinct in Broadbeach, it has a microbrewery with a bar and restaurant, with room for 450 patrons across two levels. Each dish is built to complement the entire variety of James Squire beers available on tap, along with wines and cocktails."
