Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Kingscliff

"It is one thing to have the drinks to lubricate all the conversations that you will be having. It is yet another thing to have those perfect nibbles to keep your mouth busy and stomach filled as you burn through energy while having fun. Better than all that, though, is having a picturesque location supplying the magical backdrop for the ideal evening.’"

"The Island Rooftop may be a relatively new rooftop bar, but it has already become a hit with us locals. Based on a vintage California theme, this bar offers pleasant surroundings, chilled tunes and a great drinks menu. It also features live music and DJs on weekends."

"The brightly coloured retro colour scheme helps to set the hotel apart from many of the subtler luxury options and people who are young at heart are sure to love unwinding here. The whole establishment boasts a ‘50s beachside vibe from the lobby to the cute and charming coffee shop on the ground floor. Each of the guest rooms features the same charming pop art theme with big and brightly coloured posters on the wall and furnishings in yellow, pink and red."

"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."

"Retro surfer chic best describes this 297-room resort-style hotel at Surfers Paradise on Queensland's Gold Coast 'glitter strip'. It's all about nostalgia, with a hearty dose of kitsch thrown in, but in this beachside setting it works."

"House of Brews is a 32 beer-tap drinking and dining establishment in Surfers Paradise. It is the brainchild of enigmatic brothers Sacha, Damien and Ben Kanaghines. View this post on Instagram"

"Another newcomer on the hospitality scene, BOBs beer is like no other brewery you’ve ever seen. Just metres from the beach, this venue doesn’t provide your average brewery menu, but instead offers a fine dining style menu utilising fresh seasonal produce with each meal designed to complement their plentiful list of delicious beers. That concludes our list of noteworthy restaurants on the GC!"

"Picture this: you’ve come from a toasty morning at the beach and walk into the Barefoot Barista, ready to be wowed by some quality food and coffee. Waiting at the counter, you peruse the food cabinet and feel the ocean breeze brush by. You order and take a seat inside their newly renovated, chic and minimalistic dining area, with concrete and cool, dark finishes."

"Surfing sensation Mick Fanning co-founded Balter Brewery with a bevy of mates (and fellow surfers) Bede Durbidge, Josh Kerr, Stirling Howland, Ant Macdonald, Sean Ronan, and Joel Parkinson in the industrial backstreets of Burleigh. The rag tag group placed award-winning brewer Scotty Hargrave (formerly of Stone and Wood and Byron Bay Brewing Company) in the role of head brewer, resulting in a brew that’s garnered acclaim across the country. But see for yourself – the brewery welcomes locals and visitors alike to drop in and take a tour, taste the beers, and get a bite to eat at one of the many food trucks that visit regularly."

"A huge success story, Balter beer was stocked throughout Australia within six months of its launch. In its upmarket warehouse and tasting room, shining tanks extend back as far as the eye can see. Co-founder Stirling Howland says the aim is to make the best beer possible, “…to expand a person’s world view on what a beer can be."

"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."

"MiamiA newcomer to the Gold Coast’s craft beer scene, Precinct Brewing Co. comes from the good people at The Imlach Group (best known for Bine Beer Bar, Mr Hizola’s and Nightjar to mention a few). The sprawling venue has already achieved some serious street-cred with its iconic graffiti-covered entrance, funky warehouse-style fit out and direct pour tanks. There are over 16 craft brews to sample, wine and cocktails and a cracking menu of antipasto and gourmet pizzas."
