Why it's worth checking out
The Island Rooftop sits at The Island on Surfers Paradise Boulevard in Surfers Paradise, the vibrant heart of the Gold Coast. With 313 reviews behind its 4.1 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is cocktails and a lovely rooftop outlook — a stylish bar that's a great spot for a cocktail, a drink and a relaxed evening up high, with lovely views over Surfers. Its central location, close to the beach and the buzz, makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider night out.
Drinks lists, events and trading hours at bars change over time, and it gets busy on weekends. Check current details directly with the venue, and consider arriving early or booking where possible to be sure of a spot.
