😠 The show was disappointing. Talented entertainers but there was no theme, nothing contacting the acts. Needs a good producer to make the most of such talented people. The vocals were also hard to hear, muffled. Great venue, great talent but wasted by poor production. . People often mention show, great, amazing, night, good, Great, gallery, fantastic, Gold, space,

    Lovely gallery, with an even lovelier team. Always a joy coming along and viewing all the beautiful artwork from locals and those from afar. I love the appreciation for the vast variety of styles and the unique value each of the works carry.

    19 Karen Gallery is the best contemporary gallery on the gold coast, or in Queensland in fact. Lovely people who work here, and the quality of art is always amazing. Whether you are looking to buy a great piece of local or international art for your collection or if you are just wanting to come to a fun gallery, I highly recommend you to pop by! Also close to nice coffee shops and vegan food if you want to make a day of it.

    This gallery is fantastic! They have a wide range of contemporary art that has been made by both local and international artists. Definitely the #1 Art-space to visit on the Gold Coast.

    The food was very ordinary and it was so dark and so noisy that the whole dining experience was below par. The whole thing would have been better if it was just the show. Having said that, while a few of the acts were good, the show was a bit random and piecemeal and was very difficult to actually see over all the people sitting in front. Definitely not worth the money.

    19Karen is a super dooper cool gallery on the GC. It truly did not disappoint. The works on offer were amazing, well curated and the space was light bright and airy, allowing the magnificent artwork to do it's thing. Terri has one of the best personal collections I've seen around and has an amazing eye for unique striking pieces. Do yourself a favour, don't take my word for it, get on down and enjoy the sensory feast. Art at its finest.

    Lots of wacky characters with great costumes and make up to greet you as you enter the gates. The train ride which is part of the VIP package is pretty cool. Service was very good. The food was quite nice and the entertainment was also quite good. Definitely an experience!

  • 4/5 Maggie F. 3 years ago on Google
    Great night with unusual and very entertaining show. Dinner is always high quality. However there are some promotion of narcotics and illicit drugs during the show that is certainly not appreciated for the health of humanity. There needs to be awareness of what they are promoting to their audience.

  • 1/5 maria s. 3 years ago on Google
    Looks great in the first moment but the behavior and attitude of the curator /stuff is very poor.. Sad that they forgot that artists are there base of gallery existence.

  • 4/5 Stephen M. 3 years ago on Google
    Always one of my favourite galleries to visit in Surfers. 19 Karen has stayed open throughout this 2020 crazy year. It's a bright and breezy space with equally colourful & surprising art, a feast for the eyes. Pop in and enjoy ⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 3 years ago on Google
    The most Contemporary art space on the Gold Coast and surrounding areas. Represents 80 international artists. Very experienced gallery director.Friendly,helpful staff who don't hassle you, but are there if you need some information. Also have the best openings that I have attended. A very original experience and a must see for all art lovers.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 3 years ago on Google
    What a great show. Super friendly staff and crew we had a fantastic time. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Megan A. 3 years ago on Google
    I had a great night hear with my partner. The show actually inspired me to go back to aerial dancing. Our waiter (name spelt either useless or usejess) was absolutely fantastic.

  • 5/5 J P. 3 years ago on Google
    Just an amazing experience, can't recommend enough. Just don't be easily offended.

  • 5/5 Hayley K. 3 years ago on Google
    Entertaining, fun and great food! Would definitely come back. Didn't like some of the drinks we ordered but the blue cocktail in the skull head was great!

  • 5/5 Kyah H. 3 years ago on Google
    We have been coming for a decade next year. Although some story lines may not be to everyone's taste. This venue is a iconic GC attraction and the work constantly put in by all the staff and stage actors, lighting, writers etc is top quality. Also for dinner and show this is amazing value for money. If you a prude stuck in the past I would definitely not recommended but for everyone else with a open mind it is a great night out for great value with 3 course menu.

  • 4/5 Geoff B. 3 years ago on Google
    The service was good. The food average but i understand how hard it is to serve so many people at the same time. The shoe was entertaining, the secpnd half being more enjoyable than the first.

  • 5/5 Mandy O. 3 years ago on Google
    This is my favourite place on the Gold Coast. The food was to die for, the drinks absolutely delicious - I can’t get the taste of the Horror Movie cocktail out of my head. The show was jaw dropping, even though I’d seen it four years ago and recognised many of the same segments, I was still blown away by the talent and skill of the performers. Until next time Draculas, and please don’t let go of that beautiful blond drummer man 😍

    Muertos. One of the best shows I've seen here. Good food good drinks and great show. Was a brilliant night. Acrobatics music puppets lights dancing singing comedy costumes and makeup..all excellent. Highly recommended. The teens also loved it.

    Great show, awesome experience.

  • 5/5 Nicole L. 3 years ago on Google
    A fun night out, good for some laughs and good food too. Great theme, great entertainment, must do if your in the Gold coast. Also highly recommend getting a 'blood bag' even if your not a vampire, it's a delicious concoction ;)

    Great food great show

  • 5/5 Scot M. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been to Dracula's many times, think it's safe to say it's my favourite place to go to. The cast and show are super. My favourite was definitely the Queen skit from shows in the past. Each time there is something new. I plan to go back asap next time I'm on the Gold coast.

  • 5/5 Ciera D. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely the best show I've ever went too. From the moment we stepped into the yard, everyone was in character.it was an amazing experience. Such a brilliant set up. It's a must do!!! I will definitely be back
