Two years running as QHA Best Sporting Entertainment venue, the Burleigh Town Hotel's sports bar is the main event. Multiple screens, UFC nights, and a beer garden big enough to actually breathe in. The bistro covers all the pub standards: share plates, pizza, mains, a kids' menu, and weekly specials worth knowing about, particularly the $25 steak burger and schooner deal. The gelato cone at the end gets more love in reviews than most of the mains. Service can be stretched thin on busy nights, and pacing of meals is inconsistent, so order simply if you're in a hurry. Come for the footy, the Friday raffles, and a cold drink in the undercover outdoor area. The food is honest pub fare at fair prices, nothing more.
Handy pub close to high way & surrounding areas. Large free car park for patrons. Nice feel to pub with undercover outdoor area, verandah area & inside, all with large TV screens. Can order at table or bar. Menu is extensive - share, specials, kids, pizza, mains & deserts. Full pub bar. Prices were fair. Meals came out not as we had ordered or expected unfortunately, kids meal & 1 'entree size calamari main', then a delay for the next 2 mains & 2 sides (were meant to come with the calamari). When I chased up the 2 sides delivery, was made to feel any confusion was my fault (unsure why you would order 2 sides of vegetables & mash when both mains came with veges). The food itself was fine & large portion sizes. Overall & ok experience.
Wasn’t overly impressed when they brought out food, they brought our table of 3 food out at random times and garlic bread entrees at the end? Also was terrible outside as smokers were standing right by the tables near entrance smoking. Great food if you get the weekly specials. $25 steak burger and schooner. Overall great but some small inconveniences

The almond croissant and coffee mont blanc have their own fan base at this Burleigh Heads walk-in bakery. The pastry cabinet alone is worth the detour. Arrive early on weekends, skip the risotto, and let the queue be your quality signal.

The checkout team at this compact Burleigh Metro will hold your forgotten coffee cup for three days. Well-stocked, calm, and staffed by people who actually know their regulars. Enter via the lane beside Oakberry Açai on Park Ave.

Your outdoor plans got rained out. In the Gold Coast Hinterland, that is not a problem. Waterfalls swell, mist rolls through the canopy, and the roads empty. Here is a flexible menu of what to do instead: day spas, salt caves, wildlife parks, valley cafés, and the pubs that earn their wet-weather crowds.
The hinterland is not just a couples escape. Wildlife encounters, rock pool swimming, trampoline parks, and family-friendly dining make it one of the Gold Coast's best days out for kids of any age. Here is how to plan it properly, in the right order, without spending the day in the car.
The Gold Coast Hinterland food scene has moved well past devonshire tea and a view. From a sushi train at $4.80 a plate in Burleigh Waters to a lobster roll over Currumbin Creek and a plant-forward menu sourced from organic valley growers, these are the restaurants worth planning a day around.
Autumn mornings in the hinterland are made for dogs: cool air, quiet trails, and creek water to wade in. But the rules here matter. National parks say no, so the real trip runs through Currumbin Valley, the southern beaches, and a handful of pub gardens that actually have room. Here is where to go, where to eat, and what to pack.
The Burleigh Town Hotel and Pub is an excellent venue for UFC fight enthusiasts, boasting a revamped Sports Bar with state-of-the-art screens featuring technology and facilities and perfect for an immersive viewing experience for your favourite watch on a footy game, soccer, boxing etc. The adjacent restaurant offers a family-friendly environment, complete with a secure play area for children, allowing parents to enjoy their meals while their kids play. Additionally, the pub features a spacious pokie area with numerous machines and friendly staff. A bottle shop with a drive-through service, 'LIQUOR LAND,' is conveniently located at the rear entrance, offering competitive prices. Ample parking is available, including wheelchair-accessible spaces, and the building's level ground ensures easy navigation. The staff are courteous and helpful, and the Friday raffles are a popular attraction, solidifying Burleigh Pub's reputation as the top sports bar on the Gold Coast in my opinion 😀✌️.
Went for lunch with a group of four on a Saturday. It was busy but had a good atmosphere and wasn’t too noisy considering how many people were there. Service was quick, though the staff came across a little impatient when ordering. The food was pretty average and quite overpriced for what we got. The kransky hotdogs were on the specials menu — they were ok but not worth $25 each. We also tried the prawn and bug roll, but the seafood was so bland we couldn’t tell what was prawn or bug, and the calamari and chips were cold and didn’t even resemble calamari — honestly one of the worst we’ve had. Overall, there are definitely better places around for a decent pub meal, but if you just want a drink with friends in a lively setting, it’s a good spot. The gelato ice cream on a cone afterwards was delicious though — definitely worth it! The only downside was walking through the pokies area to the dining room, which had a strong smell of cleaning products mixed with bad men’s cologne — not very pleasant. We also purchased tickets in the seafood raffle. The winning ticket wasn’t called out over the PA as expected and was instead given directly to a man sitting nearby. When we asked staff how they knew he had the winning ticket and why it wasn’t announced publicly, their explanation was vague and evasive. Very disappointing—would expect transparency and fairness in a public raffle.
Went there last night for a friends birthday, and honestly maybe they were understaffed that night but the fact there was two bar tenders on in one bar for a packed busy night seemed baffling to me. The bar staff where amazing(not there fault understaffed) but I think management needs to look at putting more people on. 30- 40 min wait on drinks thru the app (we ordered standard beers) or a 20 min wait at the one bar. Ordered the nachos and while yes tasty got like 10 chips we had to just eat beans with a fork. We also had a cake and when we asked for plates they said they were out which also indicated low staff in the kitchen. Anyway could be an amazing place to go on a Saturday night if they just put more staff on.
