Local Burleigh

Local Burleigh is a modern coastal pub in the heart of Burleigh Heads, a short walk from the sand and around five minutes from the Burleigh Heads light rail stop. Its offering centres on elevated pub classics, cold beer, cocktails and Australian wines, with a warm, relaxed setting that works for a casual meal after the beach, a long lunch or an evening that carries on late. The venue is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11.30am until late.

There is a good mix of spaces to suit different occasions. The dog-friendly beer garden provides an outdoor option for visitors with four-legged companions, while the front terrace sits close to the sand and the interior includes velvet booths. Walk-ins are welcome, and online table bookings are available. The layout also makes Local Burleigh suitable for group bookings, birthdays, work functions and private events, with the beer garden, terrace and booths available for functions.

The regular programme gives the pub a reason to visit beyond the standard lunch or dinner. Wednesday brings a steak night featuring a 200g Black Onyx Rangers Valley MB 3+ steak with green leaf salad and shoestring fries, while premium cuts rotate through the weekly offer. Thursdays feature a 25-layer lasagne made with slow-cooked beef ragù, béchamel and pasta. Friday Knockoffs combines beer, wine and margaritas with live tunes, a meat tray raffle and other listed specials, and Sundays include afternoon live music, cocktails, pints and a Sunday roast. A two-hour bottomless Sunday lunch is also available, with a cocktail on arrival, share-style dishes and free-flowing drinks.

Local Burleigh is part of Rabble Hospitality Group, with Rabble gift vouchers redeemable across its venues. It suits anyone looking for an easygoing pub close to the beach, from solo visitors dropping in for a drink to groups meeting for lunch, live music or a booked function.
