Local tip
The upstairs area is the setting to choose when live music is part of the evening.

Tank Bar & Dining is a Palm Beach bar and restaurant on the Gold Coast, with a relaxed social character and a strong connection to local entertainment. The venue is arranged across downstairs and upstairs spaces, giving the experience two distinct settings within the same local meeting place.

Downstairs has a casual bar-style menu built around approachable food and drinks. Burgers sit alongside fresh, locally sourced bites, with dishes suited to sharing or a more substantial meal. The food is designed to work comfortably with the drinks list, making the venue suitable for a casual dinner, a shared plate between friends or an easygoing stop for a drink and something to eat.

Upstairs offers a more refined dining setting while retaining the venue’s informal personality. The separate areas allow Tank to appeal to different occasions, from relaxed bar dining downstairs to a longer meal upstairs. The arrangement also gives groups a choice of atmosphere depending on the style of gathering.

Drinks are a central part of the venue. Rotating taps feature local and national craft beer, supported by a selection of wines, spirits and signature cocktails. The range caters to beer drinkers as well as guests seeking a mixed drink or a glass of wine. The changing beer selection adds variety for regular local patrons, while the cocktail list brings a more polished option to the laid-back setting.

Live music forms an important part of Tank’s identity, with performances hosted upstairs as part of the venue’s entertainment program. Regular music events and other social occasions help create an active atmosphere beyond the food and drinks service. The venue also presents community-focused events, including trivia and themed gatherings, with programming that gives the bar a lively local rhythm.

Tank Bar & Dining suits Palm Beach locals and visitors looking for casual dining, craft beer, cocktails and live entertainment in one venue. The family-friendly community-hub character described by the venue sits alongside a bar atmosphere, while the upstairs space provides an alternative for diners seeking a slightly more polished setting. Tank’s combination of accessible food, rotating drinks and local music makes it a flexible choice for an informal meal, a social catch-up or an evening built around live performance.
