Why it's worth checking out

Ferry Road Tavern is a pub in Surfers Paradise built around casual dining, live sport and a broad programme of events and specials. The venue promotes racing, punting, sporting and gaming, with live sport shown on the big screen and knowledgeable staff available to help visitors settle in. It is a practical choice when the group wants somewhere to eat while keeping an eye on the game or following the day’s racing.

The dining offer focuses on top-quality, good-value pub food, with a menu that includes steaks, fresh salads and familiar classics such as parmigiana. All-day dining, lunch specials and a dedicated afternoon menu give diners several ways to plan a visit, while Uber Eats is available for meals at home. The venue also lists regular food-led events including Parmy Night, Steak Night and Sunday Roast, although the details of these can vary.

There is plenty on the calendar beyond food. Ferry Road Tavern advertises major sporting occasions including AFL, NRL, EPL, Super Rugby, rugby, boxing, UFC and the NBA Finals, alongside trivia, poker nights and live music. That mix makes it suited to an informal meal with friends, a sports-focused catch-up or a relaxed evening where the entertainment is built into the venue’s programme. The site also highlights friendly, attentive service and a welcoming setting for casual meals, special occasions and evenings with friends.

For larger gatherings, the private function room can host up to 70 people in a cocktail-style arrangement and includes a private bar, projector and private toilets. The functions team offers help with planning and delivery, making the space suitable for celebrations and other organised events. With a kids menu and seniors menu also available online, the venue provides dining options for a range of visitors, while its live sport, TAB and event schedule give it a clear appeal for groups looking for more than a meal.
