- Josh F1 contributionEasily the best Escape Rooms on the Gold Coast! Not only the rooms but the atmosphere of the lobby, the friendly staff, the free activities, and the bonus themed pins for finishing the rooms 😃Written 29 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DebsH200Wellington, New Zealand94 contributionsAs a family we love mini golf and always seek out new courses to try so it was a given we'd give this a go when we planned our trip to Surfers!
The venue itself is fantastic - bowling, escape rooms, bar, mini golf. Easy to find and access.
The mini golf is definitely set up more for entertainment and fun rather than actually testing your skills - we found it a bit 'pokey' trying to get around each course but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Clever themes to it and a fun thing to do.Written 10 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Close to Surfers main beach and I walked a couple of times. Easy enough to catch the tram to down to Broadbeach and the Casino. Rooms are nice and spacious, with all the amenities, air con, heater, tv, table and chair. Would have liked a chain on the door as well as the standard lock for security. Pool nice but no-one in due to it being too cold. Pub good too with a sort of house/community feel but I spend most of my time drinking in Surfers with the cheaper drink deals. No real hassles over my stay, only the cleaner/caretaker making a loud ruckus outside the rooms talking away could be done someplace else. Would recommend.Written 24 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NickmoadNewcastle, Australia89 contributionsI’m from Newcastle where there are plenty of great beer venues and being a smaller city the prices are much less than tourist hotspots.
The beer selection is great here, I found it slightly expensive in the context of my first statement (average $10/370ml) however the service was great and being in the middle of surfers I guess that’s to be expected. The focus is domestic brews which I am a big fan of, pretty safe range (lagers, pales and hazes) but enough to wet the whistle.
We ordered a couple of kids meals and then ordered a medium well steak (not proud of my wife for enjoying burnt steak) and half a rack of ribs. Kids meals were fine, the kids ribs were stuck to the bone and not falling off but figured kids wouldn’t care anyway.
When the steak arrived it was delicious but closer to medium rare than medium well. The ribs were horrible, same as the kids ribs. I am normally a little reserved however have been into smoking and bbq a lot lately so knew the ribs weren’t up to scratch. $35 for half a rack isn’t cheap so I sent them back. I ate some of the steak and the kids were half way through their meals so when asked I just said a refund would be my preference.
The manager and wait staff were extremely professional and I have to say they really saved the experience and turned what could have been a very negative review into a very positive review. The manager offered a full refund, a round of drinks which I couldn’t refuse and went as far as offering a garlic bread as he knew I wasn’t eating now. I declined the garlic bread as I felt they had done more than enough to remedy the situation. Honestly - to the team, well done on your customer service.
I was happy to walk away at this point with absolutely no hard feelings and just not leave a review at all. The manager came back and said the kitchen had redone the meal (a full rack mind you) I said no thanks as I had another 2 beers and wasn’t really hungry (I had initially declined a recook as kids were already eating). He insisted and said there was actually a miscommunication with the kitchen and to please take them as they would just be thrown out. I said I can’t say no to that and took the ribs home.
I wasn’t particularly hungry but when I opened them up and tried them...wow. We finished the whole rack and they were night and day from the first serve. I don’t know what happened but it went from potentially the worst ribs I’ve had to some of the best ribs I’ve had... well done to the kitchen staff for making it right.
TLDR - great service, if I could give 4.5/5 I would for the slightly underdone steak but overall a great night out with super friendly and professional staff.Written 6 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If this is your music, there IS no other place to get your fix (as far as I know) on the Gold Coast. Bar staff were a little obnoxious but I couldn't care less. It's about the music. Elsewhere is a genuine techno-house scene. Reminiscent of the Berlin Lounge Bar from back in the day. Very few drunken idiots. Many lovers of cutting edge techno and house music scene. I'll be back there as soon as possible!Written 17 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Leigh C38 contributionsHaving partied at nightclubs in Kuta, Legian, Ibiza, and London, I can say with confidence that this is on par with the worlds best.
You'd be a fool not to go here if your local.
Full house nights, plenty of staff do getting drinks at the bar easy.
Make sure you go here.Written 11 November 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
