Why it's worth checking out
Clock Hotel sits at the corner of Surfers Paradise Boulevard and Elkhorn Avenue, putting it in the middle of Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast. The venue describes itself as a three-level hotel with three bars, combining coastal surroundings with a lively pub setting. There is a beer garden for relaxed outdoor drinks, while the broader venue is set up for lunch, evenings out and watching live sport on big screens.
Food is centred on modern Australian pub cooking, with steaks, gourmet burgers, schnitzels, crisp salads and other pub favourites made with local, seasonal ingredients. The drinks list includes local and imported beers, a considered wine selection and handcrafted cocktails, giving diners and groups plenty of choice whether they are stopping by for a meal or settling in for a longer visit. The bistro is open daily from 11.30am to 9pm, while the hotel itself trades from 10am, with later closing times on Friday and Saturday.
Sports are a major part of the Clock Hotel experience. The venue screens NRL, AFL and Super Rugby on its big screens, and includes a TAB Sports Bar for those who want to follow the action in a dedicated setting. It also has a gaming lounge with current machines, classic games and in-house jackpot links. These facilities make it a natural fit for sports fans and visitors looking for a busy, entertainment-focused pub in central Surfers Paradise.
For larger occasions, the Clock Hotel has two function spaces suited to corporate events, birthdays, dance parties, bucks and hens celebrations and other group gatherings. Its mix of multiple bars, dining, sport, outdoor space and event facilities means it can work for a casual catch-up, a meal with friends or a planned celebration. With its central Gold Coast location and clear focus on food, drinks, live sport and nightlife, it offers a broad pub experience rather than a quiet dining room.
