Food & Dining

7 top spots for cocktails on Cavill Ave

Soak in sunshine and sea breezes while enjoying an afternoon mojito, get the party started at dinner with a fruity sangria, and say “chin chin” as you clink glasses of Aperol spritz.

There are so many reasons and ways to enjoy a cheeky cocktail – here are seven of the best spots at Paradise Centre.

Surfers Paradise Beer Garden

Since 1925 this expansive pub has been the place to clink glasses with locals, watch sport and see live music. Roll up to the bar and ask for a classic cocktail or match something fun and fruity with your game of Jenga, Connect Four, Foot-Pool or Shufl. Open seven days a week, it’s guaranteed you’ll find good times and sunshine at the Beer Garden.

Love Italy

When in Rome do as the Romans do and pair that pizza, pasta or panini with an all-Italian Aperol spritz. If you’re not a fan of the bitter Italian aperitif, go global with a mojito, or finish your meal on a high note with a Nutella pizza or tiramisu with an espresso martini. The bar offers happy hour every day from 3-5pm.

Kitty O'Shea’s

When you think of Irish pubs you think of pints of Guinness, but Kitty O’Shea’s offers much more than the dark beer on draught. Set on vibrant Cavill Ave, treat yourself to a cocktail and enjoy people-watching on the pedestrian mall or catch what’s happening in sports indoors.

Nahm Talay Thai

Nahm Talay Thai has an extensive cocktail offering, each presented as a theatrical, insta-worthy creation. Whether you’re after Jellyfish Shots, a Vodka Pink Lotus or a Tom Yum Mule, you’ll be sure to find your new favourite flavour here. Nahm Talay Thai is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

El Camino Cantina

El Camino has perfected the true Tex-Mex style margarita - served frozen, on the rocks or Cadillac-style (with a float of Grand Marnier) and each made with a secret mix including tequila, Triple Sec and heaps of fresh lime juice. Grab a table overlooking the beach and enjoy a margarita tasting paddle at El Camino, open from 8am - late, 7 days.

La Playa

Translating to mean ‘the beach’ in Spanish and Portuguese, La Playa’s expansive Mediterranean-inspired menu has an impressive lineup of cocktails to share. Why not meet your mates for a jug of Sangria or cheers to a French Martini with girlfriends. Open from 7am - late, 7 days a week.

TGI Fridays

Famous for their Long Island Iced Tea, Pink Punk Martini and Ultimate cocktails, TGI Fridays takes beverages seriously! With their carefully curated menu serving up over 30 types of cocktails and 11 kinds of low and no alcohol concoctions there’s plenty of options to cheers to.
