We are in the midst of the long lunch season; we thought it was important to share some of our favourite Bars on the Gold Coast the places for a good drink and a good time.
In the past few years, the Gold Coast bar scene has exploded with a range of new bars, breweries and distillers opening up around the coast and not just in the locations you would think.
Hard Fizz HQ
Let’s get fizzy with it; our first destination for a good drink and a good time is the home of Hard Fizz, the fastest-growing tipple on the Gold Coast.
The team at Fizz HQ serves up a range of your Fizzy favourites and some limited edition runs exclusive to the brewery. So, if you are a Seitzler fan, you should stop in and say hi.
They also make up a tasty selection of wings, tacos and bao to enjoy alongside a refreshing fizz.

White Oat Distillery
The world had shut down and borders closed, but for three friends, it provided the perfect opportunity to venture into new possibilities.
A dream was born, and the guys set out to recreate their perfect drinking experience.
Fast forward a few years, and White Oat Distillery is born, and the guys now make a world-class gin and have a bar of their own where you can pop in and try their wares.
Located in Biggera Waters, you can pop into the Distillery Bar and enjoy a few tasty cocktails and grab a bite to eat from one of the food trucks that join them every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
