Gold Coast Nightclubs
As a clubbers paradise, the Gold Coast falls somewhere between Ibiza and Bondi Beach with late night clubs and fashionable bars and Surf Clubs offering beautiful views with a nice cold glass of wine.
The Coast is home to about three or four large nightclubs with good reputations for hosting regular touring DJs, dozens of boutique clubs catering for a diverse range of musical tastes and styles and more than enough cheesy establishments which provide holiday makers and locals with a place to dance to the latest top 40 tunes without having to worry about trying to look too cool for school.
Obviously personal taste has a huge effect on what sort of place you like to party at, but the following venues have a reputation among serious party animals as being popular.
Nightclubs to Check Out
Swingin' Safari
More of a bar/emporium than a nightclub, but home to some ultra funky DJs and the best decor on the Gold Coast — this original Queeslander home on the Gold Coast Highway just south of Surfers is a real, kicking, 1950s beach house.
There's even a dress-up room, library and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, a Tapas menu and of course a bar!
