Why it's worth checking out
Bar Evelyn sits on Marine Parade in Coolangatta, on the southern Gold Coast's beautiful beachfront near the NSW border. A stylish restaurant and bar, it makes the most of its prime location — combining quality food and drinks with a relaxed, beachside atmosphere, the kind of polished yet easygoing spot that suits everything from a relaxed meal to evening drinks by the sea.
The appeal is that combination of accomplished food, a great drinks offering and a lovely beachfront setting in a prime Coolangatta location, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner or drinks watching the coast. Coolangatta's easygoing beach charm pairs perfectly with a quality restaurant and bar, and Bar Evelyn has clearly won over both locals and visitors.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront venue fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a spot near the beach, dining with a group, or visiting Coolangatta in peak season.
