By Jade Quinlivan 25 May 2022

We are experiencing a golden age for locally brewed craft beer.

The latest to join the coast's clutch of craft breweries is Burleigh Barrels on West Burleigh Road. With taps dedicated to pouring thirst-quenching tipples and a kitchen specialising in elevated pub-style eats, Burleigh Barrels Brewery is poised to become a popular respite for socialising, sipping and snacking. Here's everything you need to know ... more

25 May 2022

As we hurtle towards the chilly season, a little soggier and hastier than we'd like, we've found ourselves daydreaming about plunging a spoon into rich, flavoursome curries, meltingly tender meat that falls away from the bone with just a nudge and steamy soups that deliver the culinary equivalent of a warm hug. You too? Go ahead and pull up a table at Seaside Kitchen & Bar in Burleigh Heads. You'll be mighty glad you did ... more

Scenic sweats – Pacific Fair is hosting free fitness classes at its Wellness Studio

24 May 2022

As the days get a little colder and the darkness lingers in the morning, it gets a lot harder to drag ourselves out of bed for a morning workout. Of course, we know that we'll feel better after the exercise and we agree that endorphin hit is the perfect way to start your day, but you know what else is nice? Staying in bed. The wellness warriors over at Pacific Fair heard the muffled sounds of the Gold Coast collectively snoozing their morning alarm and are enticing our activewear-clad bodies out into the world on the premise of scenic sunrise fitness on the rooftop. They also know the one thing that motivates us more than endorphins – freebies. Where do we sign up? more

Help support Regional Flavours vendors with this handy online initiative

18 May 2022

It's raining, it's pouring, it's ruining all of our weekend plans! The recent wet weather has once again caused havoc on our social calendar, forcing a host of events to postpone or outright cancel – not only leaving us bereft of fun and frivolity, but a lot of vendors out of pocket. Regional Flavours was one such event forced to can its 2022 festival and now its bevy of stallholders have an excess of goodies that are at risk of spoiling. The Regional Flavours team has created a handy online portal for locals to show their support for the stallholders, restaurants and musicians affected by the cancellation. more

The Gold Coast’s luxe activewear label Cleo Harper opens a boutique in Burleigh Heads

25 May 2022

Back before the term 'athleisure' was coined, when exercise gear was coated in slogans and graphics, Vanessa Levey decided to do things a little differently. With a background in design and the arts, Vanessa sought to fill the gap in the world of workout wear with something a little more feminine and refined. This was the genesis of Cleo Harper, which has gone on to amass a loyal legging-clad following of folk who cannot get enough of the Gold Coast-based brand. Fast-forward six years and countless collections, Cleo Harper has opened the doors to its first dedicated retail store in Burleigh Heads. more

Voting this weekend? Here’s a handy map showing where you can snag a post-ballot democracy sausage

18 May 2022

Election day is all about making big choices. Not just in regards to who you'd prefer to lead the country, but also what toppings you're going to get on your democracy sausage. Are you a staunch tomato sauce supporter, or are you swinging towards barbecue? Will there be mustard in the mix? How about onions? Do you put them above the sausage, or under? We know there's always a clash of ideology between those that like their snag to sit gently down the middle of their bread slice and those that prefer it to dissect diagonally. No matter what your preference, we can all agree that a sausage sizzle (and a cake stall) are essential components of the contemporary voting experience. Want to guarantee your polling place has the goods ahead of time? We've found a handy map you can refer to! more
