For a visitor, Orchid Avenue in Surfers Paradise is a haven for clubs that cater to different tastes, budgets, and needs. It is just a block from the beach. There are clubs with various styles, from the top 40 dance hits and rock to acid jazz. All the clubs are in close proximity to each other, so it just takes a hop for the visitors to go from one club to another. All the clubs are open up to 5 AM, so dance away till you drop.
Here are some great pubs that are very popular in Gold Coast:
Parkwood Tavern, Olsen Ave and Winergreen Drive, Parkwood. This is a very popular club and if in luck, the visitor may even get to see Australia’s famous rock acts like The Screaming Jets or the comparatively new, The Butterfly Effect, who are both part of the Parkwook Tavern and have played there for years. Another great place where some cool musicians like Michael Franti and Jack Johnson do their secret gigs is Surfers Paradise Beer Garden. This place is pretty large and has several pool tables. Speaking of clubs, it could be said with conviction that Fisherman’s Wharf could very well be the world’s best-located pub. There are several others to choose from, however, the above are the few most talked about pubs that are worth a visit.
Smart casuals are very acceptable for men to wear, whereas women have the privilege to wear what they want.
As expected, these clubs are filled with tourists and locals alike partying all 365 days in a year. Drinks are reasonable when compared to the cities and a beer or spirit costs about $5. The standard beer sizes in Gold Coast are Pot – 285 ml, Jug – 1125 ml, and Schooner- 425 ml.
Do not be under the mistaken notion that Gold Coast is only about pubs when talking about the nightlife, it has several other night entertainments that come alive with the advent of darkness. The Midnight Magic at Conrad is a spectacular stage show that is not to be missed. Then there is the Ghost train to Draculas.
Right from the themed sports bars to pubs giving out funky house and disco classics, the Gold Coast boasts of a thriving Club scene that has something in store for everyone. The number of bars, nightclubs and restaurants are countless, with top bands and DJs performing all over the Gold Coast. The Cigar Lounges, pubs with pool tables and cabaret clubs, are a boon to those that are not much into music.
