The iconic Surfers Paradise Beer Garden has had a multi-million-dollar glow up, making the institution a beautiful addition to the city strip. From its humble beginnings as a 16-room $20-per-week hotel back in 1925, the refurbished Insta-worthy watering hole now features a stunning airy wrap-around bar area, a balcony with views of Cavill Mall, giant Jenga, delicious share plates and of course, ice-cold bevvies. Enjoy delectable share plates, like the jalapeno poppers with spicy baked jalapenos, cream cheese and maple bacon, or indulge in a moreish Gringo pizza, with chorizo, ham, roast pepper, red onion, coriander mojo, guacamole and corn chips. If sharing is not really your bag, treat yourself to a hearty Cuban chicken sandwich: a toasted ciabatta filled with grilled chicken, leg ham, jack cheese, lettuce, Dijon mustard and dill pickles, served with a side of chips.
