Why it's worth checking out

NAÂMi is a cocktail bar and party venue on James Street in Burleigh Heads, an easy walk from the beach and the main strip. It is designed for an evening that can start with a drink and conversation before shifting into a livelier night out. Cocktails are available from 6pm, with DJs starting from 9pm and the venue staying open until late. The website says it operates from Thursday to Saturday, with walk-ins welcome each session.

The drinks focus is straightforward: classic cocktails, modern twists and a rotating selection of house creations. The bar also offers a wine list, while Friday and Saturday happy hour includes $10 margaritas. The venue describes its drinks as approachable and well made, with fresh citrus and tequila among the flavours used across the list. There is no need to book for a casual visit, although larger groups are encouraged to reserve a spot if they want more certainty on busy nights.

The space combines a laneway setting with a beer garden, changing character as the evening progresses. Earlier in the night, it is presented as a relaxed cocktail bar with seating, lighting and music suited to settling in for a drink. From 9pm, the DJs lift the pace and the dance floor and beer garden become part of a more energetic party atmosphere. NAÂMi positions itself between a traditional cocktail bar and a nightclub, offering both rather than focusing exclusively on one.

It can suit a spontaneous after-work drink, a small group starting a night in Burleigh Heads or anyone looking for DJs and dancing without heading into Surfers Paradise. The venue also caters for birthdays, hens and bucks parties, engagements and corporate events, with semi-private options and full-venue hire available. Its published group offers include arrangements for groups of 10 or more, while larger events can be discussed directly with the venue. With a stated capacity of 100, NAÂMi is aimed at intimate celebrations as well as regular weekend visits rather than large-scale functions.
