It’s officially that time of year (we’re stamping it) where we flock to outdoor bars for sunshine beers, alfresco ciders and cocktails with a splash of vitamin D. Lucky for all of us, the Gold Coast has really nailed the concept of an outdoor watering hole. From rooftops to gardens and beachside balconies, we’ve found the best outdoor bars and beer gardens have a tipple in the sunshine.

Located at The Star Gold Coast, this cutting-edge eatery is overseen by internationally renowned executive head chef Chase Kojima and his team, who take authentic Japanese cuisine and spin it on its head to create a truly innovative culinary journey.

Garden Kitchen & Bar blurs the lines between indoors and out to create a place where food lovers, family and friends can come together any time of the day. Gold Coast Hotel & Casino has dining for every occasion, whether you want a quick bite or to sit down and enjoy a mouthwatering entree.

Bar Hellenika, Nobby Beach: If you haven’t sipped a Georgy M cocktail while snacking on saganaki in the sunshine at Bar Hellenika, then please yourself a favour. Armed with a sophisticated cocktail collection, as well as plenty of Greek beers and wines, this is one of the coast’s ultimate spots for sunshine sips.

Garden Kitchen & Bar, Broadbeach: Known for its striking and vibrant interior, the popular eatery and bar in The Star Gold Coast has just as much to offer outdoors. The venue sprawls out onto a spacious deck and expansive lawn dotted with picnic tables, creating the perfect spot for daytime beers, that will definitely lead to twilight cocktails … always.

Aviary Rooftop Bar, Southport: Kombucha cocktails, sunshine, live music and amazing views – what more could you want? Soak up the rays and enjoy the sweeping vistas across the hinterland and the Surfers Paradise skyline with a slice of woodfired pizza in one hand and a margarita in the other.

Gotham Grill & Rooftop, Runaway Bay: Boasting pristine water views, Gotham’s rooftop is the ultimate for sundowners and snacks. Munch on woodfired pizzas and fresh lobster rolls while sipping bubbles, cocktails, tap beers and refined cocktails.

Nineteen at The Star, Broadbeach: Attached to Nineteen’s fine-dining space is a glamorous rooftop bar – a classy and elegant space with sophisticated tipples, VIP bottle service and some of the most spectacular sunset views you’ll find. This truly is a next-level experience … well, nineteen levels to be exact.

Mr PP’s Deli & Rooftop, Southport: Nestled in the heart of the Southport CBD (right out the front of a tram stop, too), Mr PP’s is ideally positioned for after-work tipples or weekend cocktails with a view. Mr PP’s fun personality and historical significance is brought to life by a refined bar and food offering, with everything from bottled cocktails to satisfying charcuterie spreads.

The Collective, Palm Beach: Nabbing a spot at The Collective rooftop is about as good as it gets. Grab the crew, order a mouth-watering feast and watch the sun set as you sip your way through a carafe of sangria … then rosé … then a cocktail (maybe Uber home).

The Island Rooftop, Surfers Paradise: Venture up to the rooftop level of The Island where the cocktails flow, the sun shines and the beers are cold. Bask in the sunset surrounded by lush greenery with skyline views through bustling Surfers Paradise.

Balter Brewing Co., Currumbin: Currumbin’s Balter Brewing Co. sure knows how to throw a weekend sesh. The grassed outdoor alley is a cracking spot to soak up the sun with a schooner of Balter’s best on tap – plus you’ll usually find one of the Gold Coast’s popular food trucks appearing over the weekends.

Justin’s Rooftop, Burleigh Heads: As Burleigh’s first rooftop bar, Justin’s really turns it up a notch when it comes to outdoor spaces. Enjoy the rooftop’s own range of tap beers, cocktails, wines and ciders in the sunshine, plus Justin’s ever-popular and genuinely addictive Italian fare. However, the upper level is currently undergoing a major expansion to create even more rooftop space – keep your eyes peeled this summer.

Cafe Catalina, Southport: There’s beers on tap, an impressive wine list, live music and cocktails galore – oh, and you can bring your dog! Yep, Catalina’s grassed outdoor area, complete with bean bags, is the perfect spot for daytime hangs. Espresso martinis are appropriate at any time of day, right?

Eagle Heights Mountain Resort, Mount Tamborine: An open-air beer garden with great pub fare that overlooks the entire Gold Coast (not even joking)? Sign us up. Perched atop Tamborine Mountain, this is the perfect elevated spot to enjoy a burger and a cold one in the sunshine with panoramic views. This hidden gem is pretty popular with locals and our Brisbane friends visiting for a day trip.
