An Australian first – US-based hospitality brand HYDE to open an oceanfront venue on the Gold Coast

An Australian first – US-based hospitality brand HYDE to open an oceanfront venue on the Gold Coast

By Janna Hrastovec 14 Mar 2019

With iconic venues in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Miami, HYDE is one of the biggest names in the US hospitality scene. In a massive move by the brand (and a huge coup for Queensland), HYDE has announced its foray into the Australian market, with the Gold Coast selected as the location for its flagship venue. The spectacular new multi-faceted dining space and bar, named Hyde Paradiso, is currently under construction on the beachfront in the heart of Surfers Paradise – and it will all be unveiled to the public in just weeks. more

Asian-inspired hidden bar Eddy + Wolff brings sophisticated sips and barbecued bar snacks to Robina

20 Mar 2019

When we first got word that a new 22-seat Asian-style dining den was coming to an 'undisclosed' Gold Coast location, our minds, by force of habit, pictured somewhere along the coastal strip. Just a few weeks ago, the suspense lifted a little when the owners of the elusive venue, named Eddy + Wolff, announced its home would be in the backstreets of Robina. The new hidden dining gem will be unveiled to the public on Wednesday March 27, proving that it's not always about beach views and passing traffic – it's what's on the inside that counts. more

Cross + Feather brings champagne-infused eggs and cornflake cocktails to the north

18 Mar 2019

Incorporating booze into breakfast outings or brunch dates is a wonderful concept. While it's yet to reach its full potential here on the Gold Coast, the boozy brunch is growing in popularity as people realise that it is, in fact, socially acceptable to sip mimosas and martinis before midday. Interested in subbing out your mid-morning long black for a negroni sbagliato? Get yourself to Paradise Point's newest cocktail-slinging cafe, Cross + Feather.  more

Think major moves in the war on plastic, Australia’s biggest ocean park and a new hashtag challenge. more

Black Hops unveils its new state-of-the-art brewery and taproom in Biggera Waters

14 Mar 2019

In 2016, three Gold Coast lads – Eddie Oldfield, Dan Norris and Michael (Govs) McGovern – began craft-beer brewery, Black Hops. Buoyed by the coast's penchant for locally produced craft beer and in response to a demand for their beers outside of Queensland, the trio have significantly expanded their operations by opening a second brewery and taproom in Biggera Waters. Northern folk, get ready to sip – Black Hops II is here. more
