A table booking is worth arranging for group meals and private functions, particularly when live music or other events are scheduled.

Sandbar Surfers Paradise is a beachfront dining venue on the Esplanade, offering a modern alfresco setting for relaxed meals and drinks. The atmosphere is designed for diners who prefer to take their time, with a menu that moves from breakfast through to lunch and dinner. Its position in Surfers Paradise gives the venue a distinctly coastal character, while the open-air style suits casual daytime dining and breezier evenings.

The food covers familiar Australian favourites with a broad choice of formats. Breakfast includes well-known morning options, while the later menu features gourmet burgers, fish and chips, steaks, seafood and other substantial meals. The selection suits a range of occasions, from a simple breakfast to a longer lunch, dinner or evening meal shared with friends and family. Takeaway is also available for diners looking for a meal to enjoy elsewhere.

Drinks are an important part of the Sandbar experience. The venue serves cocktails, wine and beer, including a broad selection of ales. The drinks list works alongside the food for a relaxed meal, an afternoon catch-up or an evening out in Surfers Paradise. The setting is informal enough for everyday dining while also providing a suitable backdrop for celebrations, group meals and organised functions.

Sandbar caters for private events and functions in an alfresco setting. Function options are intended to keep planning straightforward, with flexible packages for occasions ranging from smaller birthday gatherings to larger corporate events. This makes the venue suitable for groups seeking a beachfront location with food, drinks and an easygoing atmosphere in one place.

Regular venue programming adds to the dining experience, with live music scheduled on Friday and Saturday nights, live sport and recurring food or creative events. A loyalty program and gift vouchers are also available through the venue.
