Gold Coast Nightclubs

As a clubbers paradise, the Gold Coast falls somewhere between Ibiza and Bondi Beach. The Coast is home to about three or four large 'quality' nightclubs with good reputations for hosting regular touring DJs, dozens more 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 or move 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 clubbers as being popular and classy.

Nightclubs to Check Out

Bedroom Lounge Bar & Nightclub

Currently the latest/coolest/most popular club on the coast, The Bedroom in Orchid Avenue in Surfers Paradise is a club full of large beds. Sounds funky, and it is. Cover charge is usually about ten bucks and the DJs range from local maestros to international touring artists. Visit: www.thebedroom.net.au

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 and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. Visit: Swingin' Safari
