But one of the most common questions we get from guests is, “What are the best bars in Broadbeach? Does Gold Coast have a nightlife?”
Broadbeach might seem like a laid-back town, but this suburb comes alive at nighttime. So, without further ado, grab your most comfortable pair of shoes (or your loafers or stilettos – your choice) because we’re going bar crawling tonight.

Top 5 Bars in Broadbeach
1. The Broadbeach Tavern
Address: Oasis Shopping Centre, Old Burleigh Rd
The Broadbeach Tavern is one of those bars that is hard to miss. It sits at the corner of Charles Avenue and Old Burleigh Road, fronting the roundabout. It has a distinctly modern, spacious and airy feel with its glass walls and sleek contemporary furniture.
The Broadbeach bar caters to the boisterous crowd and the more subdued ones. If you want to catch up on your favorite football team’s score, head to the Sports Bar and grab a pint or two. But if you prefer a quieter, more contemplative crowd while sipping a margarita with your date, then off the Bistro Bar you go.
What We Like
- Modern interiors
- Fantastic food choices
- Easy to find location
- Live music
2. Soho Bar
Address: 4/2713 Gold Coast Hwy
Check out Soho Bar if you want cocktails and cocktails alone (you probably had food on the way, or you’re eyeing that pizza place next door). It’s located along Gold Coast Highway, but blink and you’ll miss it. It has a nondescript marble facade, so you must look for the striking red telephone booth doors.
The place is cosy and intimate and has a wide selection of cocktails that will transport you to the earthly version of nirvana. When it comes to drinks, they don’t offer the usual fare. Instead, you’ll find unique cocktails you’ve never sampled before.
What We Like
- Relaxed atmosphere
- Refreshing drinks
- Great live music
3. The Vault Bar & Tapas
Address: Shop 21, 90 Surf Parade
Live music that won’t make your ears bleed? Check. Sumptuous Mediterranean cuisine? You got it. Refreshing drinks to quench your thirst after a day spent surfing or shopping. The Vault Bar & Tapas has all that and more.
This upscale tapas-style bar is one of the nearest to the Oceana On Broadbeach – great if you don’t want to stray far from your accommodation but still want to go downtown. The crowd is mature and sophisticated, so get ready to glam up before you head out.
Both co-owners are talented musicians, so don’t be surprised to hear live piano music playing while nibbling your garlic prawns or sipping your daiquiri.
What We Like
- Fun and casual atmosphere
- Live music
- Tasty tapas and other Mediterranean-style cuisine

Address: 75 Surf Parade

The bar features classic cocktails and Roosevelt Lounge’s signature drinks to quench your thirst. There is a wide selection of local and international gin, rum, whisky, wine, and other fine liquor if you’re craving more than cocktails.
The lounge also offers non-alcoholic options for your designated driver or for those who don’t want to deal with hangovers afterwards. The wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks more than makes up for its limited food choices.

- Alfresco dining
- Unique old Hollywood glam interiors
