OK so normally I don't like these trendy super-schmick kinds of places (of which Broadbeach has…read moremany) but the food here was REALLY REALLY good. And this is a burger place. And I'm a vegan. I was vacationing on the Gold Coast with my parents, and we went in here for dinner on a whim because we were dressed pretty casually and they looked a little more forgiving of boardshorts and flip-flops than the other trendy dinner spots nearby. At first I had my reservations about whether or not I could eat anything here, but when I told the manager I was vegan, he didn't even bat an eye. He said they have two veggie burgers on the menu, neither of which uses egg in the binder. He volunteered this information on his own -- I didn't even have to ask, which definitely shows he's knowledgeable about veganism, because most restaurant proprietors have no clue that a lot of veggie burgers use egg. There are two veggie burgers -- the Eats Roots and Leaves ($14.50, red lentil and chickpea patty with coleslaw and tomato relish) and the Magic Mushroom ($12, mushroom patty with lettuce, red peppers, feta, and garlic ailoi). He told me the Magic Mushroom could be made vegan without the feta and aioli, but I'm not a mushroom fanatic so I opted with the Eats Roots and Leaves, which was DELICIOUS. All the flavours just melded together perfectly, and the patty stayed together perfectly, no crumbling. The bun wasn't too scratchy or hard (like some burger buns in Oz are) and it was a very filling dinner with a side of fries for under $20. My parents also enjoyed their (meaty) burgers and fries. Make no mistake, this place is a drinking establishment too -- as evidenced by their splashy cocktail and wine list, and the raucous (possible hen's party) group of women enjoying their bevvies next to us. So you don't have to have a meal here to enjoy this place (although the food really is great.) The atmosphere is...well, Broadbeach. Trendy, shiny, and all those other adjectives. A splashy mural was painted on one wall, depicting a typical Gold Coast beach scene (including bikini-clad maidens and ibis stealing food), and some of the seating areas had swings suspended from the ceiling as chairs! I wanted to sit at a table with swings, but my parents weren't keen and the hen's party swooped in and seized them anyway. The place is buzzing, it's trendy, it's very Broadbeach-y -- but the food is delicious and it's a fun place, and I love that they are so accommodating for vegans.

Tucked away in the swanky strip of bars and restaurants along Oracle Boulevard in Broadbeach, this place is a pleasant surprise. Pleasant because it's welcoming and hip at the same time - not an easy trick to pull off - and surprising because the food is actually reasonably priced while also being delicious. I like everything about this joint. For a start, there's a wide array of seating to suit just about any group. Tables inside and out to suit parties of all sizes, a couple of comfy couches, an actual bar with bar stools in case you're on your own, and even a few swing seats hung from the ceiling (haven't seen that before). The bar is well stocked with an excellent array of beers from the crafty to the usual suspects, and a wine list of similar merit sits comfortably alongside what looks a handy offering of cocktail choices for those that way inclined. I enjoyed the 'Cow Pig Cow' burger but there's one for every taste, including fish and vegie options, and other nibblies for those not in the burger mood. Get there.

While I was getting bounced around like a pinball (due to the crowded nature of the main walkway to…read morethe bar), I was already planning what my Yelp review would focus on. The large number of people enjoying the beats? The unfortunate high quantity of gentlemen dancing on the mini stages that I can only assume were intended for ladies to use? The eclectic mix of music (ranging from house to samba)? Left to ponder all these questions, I approached the bar and asked for a drink. As an American, I noted my bartender's winning smile and the Dwayne Wade Miami Heat jersey she was wearing. As she turned around to get my beer, I also noticed she was not wearing any pants. I quickly glanced around and noticed that none of the bartenders or servers were wearing any pants (opting instead to wear skimpy bottoms that seemed more suited for the beach that was a block away). I really need to start paying better attention to my surroundings. Pros: Good mix of music (i.e not just strictly the same top 40 stuff) Fun crowd Large space Hot bartenders Cons: Although the overall space in the club is large, the dance area was fairly compact and crowded

I have been to bars all over world but even I was shocked by how shitty the service was there,which I will explain in a minute. So when I went in we were given a ticket for one free drink so I figured how bad can it be. So I go to wait for my drink for almost 10 minutes and I notice all the female bartenders are dressed as 2 bit strippers wearing some ugly ass gold swimsuits,then I hear in a sarcastic screech voice "Hello!,hello!" finally a blonde bartender gave me some service. I gave her the drink ticket after she got me a BEER and she pulled the drink back and said "NO ITS FOR SHOTS AND MIXED DRINKS ONLY" I thought WTF since beer is cheaper than liquor. So I give her cash then have to wait for "Barbie" to give me my change since they had one register for the entire section of the bar. My English buddy Ali that I from my Contiki tour told me 20 minutes later after we got the hell out of there told me his bartender a petite asian gal was rude to him as well. Worst bar/club I have ever been in my life. Whore ompa-loompas are horrible bartenders.

Place looked impressive, they have a prohibition theme going on and some staff were dressed in that era. I must say, they looked very stylish. A smiling and very personable Abigail took our coffee orders and the charming Shannon took our food requests. Kudos to the flair and the warm interaction they both had. Nothing was troublesome and the food arrived in less then 10 minutes. Wow. I would definitely come here again; especially after Abigail took the time to talk about the Loose Moose like it was her own business. The young lady has passion and it's so obvious she loves what she does. The cocktail menu was pretty phenomenal and those that are interested there're about 80 varieties of whiskey! This is now on my must visit places in Broadbeach and I hope they retain their service, style and old world meets modern charm. Thanks guys!

Romance, cocktails and good food were required but my Yelp-fu had yet failed to lead us anywhere particularly good. As we wandered down Surf Parade we realised our options were slim. Koi Restaurant looked very full and the menu was promising but we were politely advised there would be a 20 minute wait for a table. Next door we scoped out Bin 89 and managed to snake a couple who took a few more minutes perusing the menu. We knew our options were closing out fast so we made a dash to land the last table in the whole place. A pokey little two-seater right next to the service desk. Not ideal, but we were smug. The wait staff were welcoming and quick to offer us water and menus. We were able to order cocktails quickly. I had the Purple People Eater which was initially a little strong, but mellowed with the melting ice and the boy had a red wine served in a mini-caraffe - I don't know if it was the sheer size of the glass, but it looked like a teeny tiny serving. We decided quickly on our food order. I went with "small plates" of salmon mousse (served on a half shell), beef taco and salt and pepper calamari. I have a small appetite at the best of times and being gluten free, I had limited (but clearly labelled!) options. The boy went with the rib eye fillet and red wine jus with mash. Very manly (and typical) of him to order meat and potatoes. My salmon mousse was to-die-for. Like, lick the shell clean good. I was making very raunchy noises and my date had to tell me to tone it down it was so fabulous. I considered ordering a second, but remembered I had two more dishes coming. The calamari was so-so. The mayonnaise was fine and creamy, and the batter wasn't too thick and had the right amount of crunch.. the squid was soft and not rubbery at all it was just.. boring. And oily. And very meh. Then the taco arrived. It was a thing of beauty. The shredded beef was spiced to perfection where my mouth felt slightly warm but not obnoxiously hot. The accompaniment in the soft corn tortilla cut through the heavy meat and added delicious texture. I regret not recording the description somewhere as I really have no idea what ingredients they used. Too many cocktails before dinner perhaps? Regardless I enjoyed the ambience, wait-staff and menu items so much I want to go back immediately. Or whenever we have an excuse to spend a weekend on the coast and dine out.
