Boardwalk Tavern

The Boardwalk Tavern sits on Santa Barbara Road at Hope Island, in the upmarket waterfront area on the northern Gold Coast. A popular tavern, it's a much-loved local fixture — combining a relaxed pub atmosphere with quality food, good drinks and family-friendly facilities, often with a lovely waterside aspect, the kind of crowd-pleasing local that's become a genuine favourite.

The appeal is that combination of a great pub atmosphere, quality food and drinks and a welcoming, family-friendly setting in a convenient Hope Island location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a drink, a catch-up or a casual day or night out. As a well-rounded local tavern, it delivers the relaxed, sociable experience that makes a good pub a community hub, and the Boardwalk has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,500 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours, any gaming and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a meal, a drink or a relaxed outing, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Boardwalk Tavern at Hope Island.
