Unbelievably delicious tapas menu. Not only that but the separate menu catering for vegans and GF folk is quite extensive! Plenty of local brews on tap with a pretty nifty map on the wall showcasing their locations. And to cap things off we have a sweet location, cool decor and a couple of retro arcade machines.

This place has the best okonomiyaki I have ever had outside of Japan. So filling and delicious - it was absolutely amazing. My dad ordered the Japanese curry - he said it was really good too. Unexpected coming from a traditional pub style seeming restaurant but really so so good would 100% recommend ordering the tofu okonomiyaki if you ever are in Tugun.

Wow all the food was nice. Lovely staff that gave us good suggestions. We had the eggplant, korean bowl and chicken. Will come back for the beers when we are in the area again!

Holy WOW batman! Found this place by accident. This is a labour of love by the owner and you can tell. Boutique beers on tap, tapas Asian inspired. This place rocks! Great friendly and helpful staff, fantastic menu. Sit, chat, eat, drink and be merry - this is the Gold Coast at its best!

Gotta love the backbone. Gav is a great bloke and he's a huge supporter of local brewers from in and around the area. Been down there many times and had some great conversations over many a good beers. There's always interesting brews on tap, changing all the time and if you're willing to experiment, you can broaden your horizons by speaking to the knowledgeable staff. Nosh is pretty decent too. The area has benefitted greatly by having a boozer like this to drop into. Keep up the good work.

Excellent selection of beers on tap. 5 Stars for not all of them being IPA. Food is great, service is good, heaps of decent weekday specials. These guys do everything good, even the pinball machines are on point. Solid vegan/plant based menu. I've eaten at a lot of places in the GC and this is a fast favourite.

Great craft beer bar with incredible food and a real laid back vibe. No table service. Great tunes and all the staff are easy to chat with and knowledgable.

Fantastic drinks, esp sour ale range. Family and dog friendly. We had the teriyaki wings (ok), duck spring rolls (very good) and good chips. Fantastic staff that know the drink menu and the food menu, and they have pinball (omg) machines. Highly recommended

This place is generally a better option than the Tugun Tavern and Surf Club, yet has room for improvement. Okonomiyaki was doughy and undercooked, Snapper in fish n chips tasted washed out. Gyoza were good. Beers were very good in taste and value. Bar maids did not have a clue about the beers and made errors on orders. It would be more proffesional if they had better training and more appropriate attire. Overall worth a try and above average.

I understand owning and running a business especially in the hospitality industry has long hours with hard work is very exhausting.However as an owner and operator you cannot afford to become '" Shopblind". Each day before you open you need to stand back and look and think ,are my floors clean, do I need to get rid of the cobwebs ,do my fixtures and fittings need updating, does my front shop look like its been furnished from an op shop.Are the menus free from grime and presented in an attractive format. Consumers notice these things and want to be able to relax and meld into the atmosphere .Sadly I could not do that here

Just aweful in every way. Food was aweful, fish tasted like supermarket frozen deep fried and the salad? asked for a green salad and fish, got a blank stare, eventually the bored , miserable looking girl said I could pay for the fish and salad separately!. But.... the salad was shredded cabbage with 4 mushrooms and about 3 cherry tomatoes cut in half. Apparently they only do Japanese salad?. Would've been nice to know in advance, but it seems salad is a mystery in this place. Honestly I was shocked that a seafood "restaurant" right by the ocean offered such garbage. In addition they had a notice written on the door urging customers to close the door due to the airconditioning but surprise, surprise it was hot as hell inside which really just completed the terrible experience for me. I'd like to say something nice but honestly everything was as bad as it gets - avoid.

A great friendly vibe. A group of friends greeted jovially, by who seemed like the owner, who happily and quickly jumped to welcome all. Great hospitality and food. 😇 Cool bits of arts scattered around too 🙏

Great selection of beers with simple pricing. Friendly service and good food to match - would recommend the octopus balls 🐙 and tempura eggplant 🍆.

Good mix of asian and fish/chips menu. Exceptional range of craft beers.

Great spot for families with parents who are fans of craft beers & Japanese food. Kids entertained by the pinball machines & planes coming in to land. Quick & friendly service. Casual atmosphere. Definitely reccomend.

Best spot for a good beer that isn't always the usual. Great food and super friendly staff. We are there at least once a week.

Had lunch here on the way to the airport Good food great beer Quick service

Great range of local craft beers and other beverages on tap, a dozen or so in total and cocktails etc. Top marks for offering good range of interesting asian (mostly Japanese) foods including a dedicated gluten-free menu and Vegan vegetarian which is a nice touch for a place like this! Great little find in Tugan and very nice place to meet people for casual catch up without the pretension of many other places on the Gold Coast.

Huge variety of real independent Craft Beers! Core beers plus 20+ constantly changing taps, huge variety of cans also. Great menu, burgers, fish & chips, plus Japanese tapas. Staff are knowledgeable about craft beers, the owner Gav is a local legend, and a huge craft beer advocate. He also opened a rustic wine bar nextdoor, great for private party's or wine and beer tastings events. I can't praise them enough, venues like this showcases the craft industries finest, and it's the first stop for fresh Currumbin Valley kegs!

Unmatched variety of craft beer and ciders. (30+) Cheerful, knowledgable staff keen to chat and help choosing. Good live music and stage. Did a uey hearing the music driving past and really impressed by the friendliness and mix of people!

Food is terrible .. unless you like deep fried food on deep fried food whole place smells like oil that needs to be changed .. ok beer selection. .. but go to the pub . Heaps better food and beer ..

Great food and good beers. Cool place to chill. Kid friendly and plenty of choices!

Fantastic choice of craft beers on tap as well as a great tasting menu. The staff also raised the bar with their very friendly service. Thanks for making us outsiders feel like locals.

Great place to go. Plenty of craft beers on tap. Good food including fish and chips, ice cream and snacks. Service is friendly. A beautiful wine lounge has just opened next door.

The best bar on the Gold Coast hands down! Great service, awesome food and cold beers. Love this place!

Handled a big crowd, supporting the Moustache Ride for Men’s Health. Beer was cold, food was fresh and service was too notch. Top place to end an awesome day.

Great cocktails. Very quick, friendly service. Food was lovely.

Loved my trip to backbone! Specific mention to the variety of local craft beers and massive variety on the menu - the perfect spot for a big group of friends with something for everybody. I really the Takoyaki octopus balls - so different and so much flavour!

Very nice venue. Stopped in on a slow Sunday afternoon for a few beers and some fried bites. The place is nicely themed with plenty of seating and tables that can accommodate large groups. The food was quite good and service was friendly and efficient. Have visited a number of times now and always pleased with the experience.

Awesome selection of craft beers, great food and excellent staff, if your in the area well worth a visit or three, time well spent!!!

Great food and cocktails craft beer pinballs for the kids and ice cream also live music so good
