Top Cocktail bars in Surfers Paradise, Australia

The tapas menu is sensational. So delicious that we forgot to take pics. Tacos, lamb skewers, roasted cauliflower and even fries - highly recommend 👌 Also a generous serve of churros with chocolate filling.

Breakfast Highly recommended, the buffet to start and then you can order a menu, we ordered a very tasty and filling breakfast burger, my boyfriend was happy and I ordered a delicious Mediterranean avocado. We also ordered delicious and large ice coffees. Isabel served us very kindly and attentively. Pleasant music and a beautiful view of the sea. Highly recommended, I will definitely come back.

Place looks great.
Good cocktails.
Very slow service.
45 min for 4 basic meals and hardly anyone in the place.
Waygu beef burger was terrible. Bread was like 2 day old Cole’s bread rolls. Wife’s lamb pitta was good. Oysters fresh. Staff were friendly.

During this stay at Peppers we had Three breakfast buffets and two dinners at Hyde and overall the restaurant surprised me well on the positive side!

Breakfast buffet continental section is not big but had all the breakfast basics except for cold meat and cheese. We particularly liked the small Acai section on Tuesday(did not got a picture sorry). The food in the hot cooked to order part was delicious! We particularly loved the Mediterranean Avocado with the delicious nutty cheese and beautifully grilled artisan bread. they were not huge portions but complemented by the cold buffet it was very sufficient… unless piling up the plate with bacon is part of your breakfast buffet must. :)
The only big negative was the coffee station… below average breakfast buffet coffee machine quality.
The ladies and gents working there were great except for this one girl in black on Friday morning that was rather not nice when we already had to wait fair bit for a table… hence not five star here…

The dinner menu is DEVINE! Our favourite were… almost everything! The pea pasta did not sound much but it was so nice with just the perfect spice level and perfect pasta we ordered twice.

Thank you Hyde Paradiso!

We ate here tonight hoping for a lovely water view while we ate our meal. We opted for ‘share plates.’ The food that was served was nice enough. However ‘share plate was a poor description.One of our dishes was ‘lamb skewer with flat bread and some sort of sauce’ for the price of $20.
I assumed being a ‘share plate’ that there would in fact be enough to share. Sadly, we were given a plate with ONE very small piece of lamb in one small wrap. I am not sure how this was supposed to be shared.
The staff were very friendly and the service was prompt. However, my idea of a share plate is that at least two people could enjoy it.

Some of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Our server was so nice and happy and loved his energy!!! The post Malone with the deep fried monzerella Pattie was soooo good!! My partner loved his Big Poppa! Crispest loaded fries I’ve ever had

Cannot fault this place at all and cannot wait to come back. The host was absolutely awesome from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out. Im bad at remembering names lol but he was awesome alongside everyone else who served our table. The food was absolutely divine and the share drinks and cocktails were next level honestly cannot wait to come back thank you for the amazing service and amazing food and making my brothers birthdays an even more epic one ❤️

Let’s go bananas for the evil, guilty, cheesy and tasty burger!!🍔

I was so excited and admired for the design of their burger and beverage!!! All of them were so unique and beautiful 😻

Don’t miss their SPECIAL when you visit!! I believe it won’t let you down🤤🤤 ( I ordered Ferrero Rocher shot, and it was very interesting and nice🫨🫨)

Absolute rubbish. We visited this shop on the International Burger Day, and the experience is awful.
If you see the photo, you can easily find the patties are still raw, and they stink. So are the chicken nuggets. Although you have put a lot of black pepper to cover the smell, but it doesn't work.
So I urge the customers to be careful with the food, please check before you eat.

We had a party over 20 people and everyone said they had spectacular food and service .. We will definitely come back again. Customer service was next level and really fast. Thanks for a great day and yummy food! :)

Had an amazing meal, happy hour cocktail, best burger I've had in a long time meat cooked perfectly, great ratios of sauce and items to meat and bun. Shout out to Kai our server he was amazing, so great with my kids and made the experience even more enjoyable with his fun attitude! Will go again definitely before we leave, visiting from NZ.

The food was so much more than I imagined. The staff absolutely amazing. The atmosphere - who can complain about the view. I had calamari chips and salad. So yummy and fresh. I hate to leave left overs however my belly couldn't fit it all in. Great value and a wonderful experience.

Excellent tasting Food & Customer Service!! Great location & right on the beach. Cool Hawaiian- bali vibes decor. Well priced. Bar staff friendly. Kids gaming room is pretty big with lots of things in there.

Loved everything about this place. We went as a family on a quieter night and ordered a few things to try. That sharing platter was good value and YUM. Top tier burgers and shakes. Worth the money we spent. Would love to try the cocktails next.

Super fast service even though the joint was pumpin'. Burgers were bang on too 👌
Shoutout to the hens party next to us that gifted 2/3 of their excess share cocktail. You gal's are bomb, and never forget that. We love you.

Situated on a busy Esplanade corner this cafe is quite big and convenient. Hubby had the big breakfast and gave it 10/10. For $26 you would expect it to be generous and it didn't disappoint. My smashed avo on sourdough was $19 and had plenty of avo. The beetroot hummus was a nice flavour touch. A touch too much citrus dressing made it quite wet, but tasty all the same. Our coffees were hot and $5.50 each for a mug size. Staff were acceptably friendly but this cafe doesn't require engagement as food can be ordered via the QR code. Water is help yourself. Ambience is varied depending upon whether you sit inside or out near the road. Decor is a pleasant beach vibe with music playing. We would eat here again. Suitable for families too.

Cute restaurant with beach views. I visited during breakfast and everything is self serve. You just grab a menu, a seat and order from the QR code including payment. You grab your own cups, water and condiments then wait for your food. It was pleasantly presented and if you can’t be bothered interacting with people or talking, this is a really great place.

My family of 7- 5 kids & 2 adults, attended the sandbar for dinner the 15/02/2024. The meal was delicious, atmosphere was splendid and the time there was extremely pleasant. Staff were kind and helpful. 4 of us had the rump steak, 1 had a parmy, 1 had kids fried fish and 1 had kids Spaghetti. For our palates the spaghetti was aweful, it’s had a taste of mint ( or maybe too much basil now I think of it?) so that went mainly untouched. Everything else from the gravy right through to the steaks were amazing.
It was a really pleasant experience!
It is Quite expensive when 7 of us go out, but the sandbar was surprisingly well priced!
I am really pleased with our experience! & I belive the spaghetti not being enjoyed is purely due to our palate preferences as 1 of the adults didn’t mind it (although had
Their own meal). Definitely recommend & 100% will return on out next QLD trip.

Prime location overlooking the beach at Surfers Paradise. Island vib decor which blends into the beachside atmosphere perfectly to enhance your lunch or dinner experience. The Oreo cheesecake is a must have.. I could have had a dozen. Good food at a reasonable price. 👌🏾

Good location and atmosphere 👌
Chicken Tacos, Fish and Chips 🍟 were really great! Yummy and crispy!! Perfect! (Bruschetta not Recommend as the bread is the type of well wet and ingredients are not well matched,,)
Recommend to visit here!

2nd time with my family
Pizza 🍕 was ordered this time and it was very great.

We were excited to try this place as there were good reviews. End results - Underwhelming.

Fish tacos were bland. Not enough greens and or taste.

Steak sandwich was tough and chewy. Chips were nice and crunchy.

Salad was average.. we added chicken, nothing special. Chicken was herby.

Views of the beach is pleasant. Not a place on my list to try again anytime soon.

We had our staff Xmas party at this venue last night, Jason was our chef and he was amazing. Food was fantastic and we all left very full. A great night was had by all of our workers and their families. Thanks for your service

Awesome restaurant and service! Participating in the acts with the Chef was awseome and we had a great time. The Chef was awesome and very entertaining. Food was perfect! Special thanks to Chef Jason (served us today for dinner).
Otherwise, Great place for a great time.

Amazing!!! Jason was our chef and he was witty, skilled and cooked the food perfectly! We had the absolute best night, cocktails were delicious and atmosphere was perfect. We were at the early seating with another family and kids all enjoyed it too! If you are staying at surfers you must go!!

Let me start off with the entertainment. A Karen has a fit (Karen haircut and all), that her chips came out first even though she was explicitly told this is a tapas style menu... Did comes out when it's ready. She had a fit and walked out, than in, then out...Great entertainment.

Now to the fun part. Good was great. It really was. A bit pricey but nothing to steep. Service was also great. Communication up front about tapas style etc. I loved the tacos.

Will be back very soon

Asami Teppanyaki is definitely what they say they are, it’s the place to be!

Our second time dining here at Asami Teppanyaki. We are so amazed by the overall experience again. Food dishes were wonderfully presented with yummy sides and fabulous cocktails. The show experience itself have been nothing but amazing, Chef Jomar knew what he was doing and made sure to keep us entertained throughout the whole experience which we enjoyed a lot! The customer service were professional and have looked after us really well. The venue had beautiful ambiance. The fire from the show was my top favourite of the entire experience besides the yummy dishes!

It’s the most fun we’ve had dinner out in a long time. Really look forward to coming back and dining at Asami Teppanyaki again!

What an experience! My husband and I are celebrating our marriage and was gifted with a good time out at this amazing restaurant. I didn’t know what to expect but I was well and truly blown away!
Amazing food and cocktails, and our Chef was hilarious! My cheeks hurt from laughing so much. The service was impeccable, and they even brought out cute little cakes with a candle for us to blow out, it was a nice touch.

Definitely a must do! Highly recommended 🙌🏼

Enjoyed breakfast here a couple of times. $35pp for a hot dish and buffet of fruit, cereal, pastries, yoghurt, toast, juice and coffee. Nice airy atmosphere. Staff were friendly. Service was mostly timely. Would definitely dine here again.

We came for the $35 breakfast buffet. Great views, the eggs benny hash and burger were good, but the pancakes were disappointing (first time I couldn't finish my pancakes). Pastries were good, with 4 types available, and there was a cold section with natural yoghurt or chia (which was yummy).
Coffee from the machine is included in the buffet, doesn't look great, but tastes good enough
Service was average to poor

On balance, I would come here again for the views, and just not order the pancakes

Really awful food that was burnt and over salted, badly presented and all in all not worth the plate. Chefs knew how to have a hit rate of throwing food into peoples mouths 40% of the time. Lighting alcohol on fire and dropping their tools and laughing it off. One menu for food and one for alcohol which they push often and regularly. When asking for water they offered still or sparkling when I said normal water they disdainfully said tap water quite loudly. I can see why they would write their messages in salt, it’s a chef special. Lots of children crying, breaking things and generally just bang things around trying to copy the “chefs”. Give this one a miss.

Our first time experiencing Teppanyaki - and it was amazing. The chef is so talented and entertaining. We went for lunch (around noon) and we are vegetarians but they didn’t disappoint. They gave us some miso soup and salad to begin and then we ordered some veg teppanyaki and some veg udon noodles. The veggies and Tofu was super delicious. Udon noodles were slightly sweet for my liking but my husband liked it - so guess it is a preference. Overall it was a great experience.

Great restaurant!

Service, food and drinks were amazing.

Thank you to our chef Neil who went above and beyond to make sure our anniversary dining experience was 5 star and one to remember.

Highly recommend! We will definately be back again soon 🥰
