Hope Island Tavern has become a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike, following its grand reopening on November 20. After weeks of trading, the newly renovated venue is receiving rave reviews, thanks to its family-friendly atmosphere, revamped menu, and stunning new spaces. From the lush beer garden to the revamped sports bar, the venue’s transformation reflects a modern, coastal retro vibe that perfectly complements the Gold Coast lifestyle.
Located at 93 Broadwater Ave, the Hope Island Tavern has always been a hotspot for community gatherings, Sunday sessions, and casual catch-ups, with live music and entertainment.
Soak Up the Sunshine in Hope Island Tavern’s Stunning New Beer Garden
The jewel of the renovation is the sprawling beer garden, designed for relaxation and connection. Featuring picnic tables, market umbrellas, and vibrant greenery, the outdoor space provides the perfect setting for families, groups of friends, or solo visitors looking to soak up the Queensland weather. A brand-new children’s playground keeps little ones entertained, while acoustic live music on weekends adds an inviting energy to the space.
For those who love sports, the upgraded sports bar is a game-changer. With mega screens broadcasting live games and races, it’s the ultimate spot for cheering on your favourite team or enjoying a drink while catching up on the latest events. Meanwhile, the revamped bistro is a food lover’s paradise, offering a fresh menu of Queensland pub favourites and creative new dishes.
Menu highlights include pub classics like the crispy Chicken Parmigiana and the indulgent Smash Burger, stacked with two beef patties, onion, cheese, lettuce, dill pickles, and burger sauce, served with a side of chips. For something more elevated, signature dishes like the Salsiccia Pizza from the woodfired oven and Prawn & Bug Rolls with chervil mayonnaise are already proving to be fan favourites. Sweet tooths will also love the new gelato station, which has a playful twist: adults can upgrade their gelato with matched liqueurs for a boozy treat.
Weekly events is another major drawcard, encouraging locals to make Hope Island Tavern a regular part of their routine. From trivia nights on Thursdays to live music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, there’s always something happening at the venue. Families can enjoy free kids’ entertainment on weekends, while racing enthusiasts can look forward to Punters Paradise Saturdays, with races broadcast live and loud.
Venue Manager Troy Williams says the $3 million transformation was designed with the local community in mind. “This renovation was done with our community front-of-mind, and we can’t wait to welcome locals and visitors to experience the new spaces,” he shared.
The Tavern has quickly become a hub for creating memories, whether it’s enjoying a Sunday roast with the family ($25 weekly special) or gathering to dine with mates over live music. With a big locals’ celebration planned for January, the venue promises to keep building connections and offering new experiences.
As December gets underway, Hope Island Tavern has firmly established itself as a go-to destination. Its combination of great food, live music, and family-friendly features ensures there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick drink, a long lunch, or a fun night out, the Tavern is ready to welcome you with open arms.
