Bar 114 & Restaurant

Bar 114 and Restaurant brings the pulse of Surfers Paradise indoors, all neon glow and spirited chatter, where tightly packed tables and clinking glasses set a lively scene. It is a high-energy rendezvous for friends and festive gatherings, a place where Western classics rub shoulders with Asian-fusion flair and the night feels perpetually young.

The kitchen keeps things bright and generous, opening with salt and pepper calamari and its special tartar sauce, a clean and aromatic Caprese salad, and house-smoked salmon lifted by capers and dill cream cheese. Mains favour comfort with character: a silky porcini mushroom risotto crowned with shaved Parmesan; grilled fillet mignon under a balsamic reduction with roasted baby potatoes; and herb-crusted lamb chops finished with mint chutney and a citrus-flecked couscous salad. It is familiar food with a confident twist, designed for ordering plenty and lingering longer.

Cocktails match the mood: an Old Fashioned kissed with orange zest, sun-splashed sangria brimming with seasonal fruit, and a mojito muddled bright with mint and lime. All the while, the room hums with convivial energy, perfect for those who like their evenings upbeat and their company close. Gather the crew, claim a table, and let the good times pour; at Bar 114 and Restaurant, paradise comes with a lively side.
