Why it's worth checking out
4 Pines Coolangatta is a beachfront pub and brewery in the Strand precinct, at 28/72 Marine Parade and about 100 metres from the sand. It is set up for the full day, with breakfast, lunch and dinner available seven days a week, making it a practical stop after a swim, surf or walk along the coast. The venue also offers delivery of burgers and beer through DoorDash and Uber Eats for nights when you would rather stay in.
Beer is central to the experience. The Coolangatta site is described as 4 Pines’ fourth brewery and is built around a 1200-litre Smart Brew system. Six beer taps are joined by two Keller door taps, which are used for fresh, distinctive styles brewed on site. Alongside the beer, the kitchen serves pub classics and breakfast dishes, with the food designed to complement the brewery’s drinks. The website also provides separate food, drinks and breakfast menus, although the available venue information does not list specific dishes beyond burgers.
The space has an open layout with reclaimed timber, festoon lighting and an outdoor patio. Its position opposite the beach gives the venue a strong coastal setting, while the patio is suited to settling in with a drink and watching the surf. The combination of a casual pub format, on-site brewing and all-day dining should work well for groups meeting after a beach session, friends looking for a meal and a beer, or solo visitors wanting an easy place to sit near the water. The venue also caters for functions and can discuss packages and spaces for events, birthdays and corporate gatherings.
4 Pines’ broader story began in Manly after a post-surf conversation between a father and son in 2006. The brewery says it remains focused on making beers its team and mates want to drink, while working towards its commitments to people, the planet and the community. At Coolangatta, that brewery background is visible in the compact production setup and tap selection rather than being separate from the pub experience. Bookings are available online, and the venue can be contacted directly for table reservations or event enquiries.
