There for us through thick and thin with an ice cold bevvy in hand – a trip to our beloved local should feel like a warm embrace from an old friend, no? While our beloved parmy isn’t going anywhere anytime soon (you’ll have to pry it out of our cold, dead hands, first) – we can all agree the triumphant transformation of our national pub scene into slick Kingfish Ceviche and cocktail slinging havens is the plot twist we are absolutely here for.

With multiple airy and light-filled spaces, and the only beer garden in Burleigh Heads, parched and peckish punters can bid adieu to sticky-floored dungeons of yore and say hello to a versatile sip spot to bookend their day. From freshly-brewed coffee and Mimosa Carafe studded brunch feasts of Crab Benedict and Tropical Bircher that morph effortlessly into knock-off froths, Charcuterie and sundowners as the afternoon looms – Local is sure to have the tonic to what ails you.

Local is more than just a pretty face with an impressive selection of brews. The menu ticks all the boxes, too. Classic pub mainstays like house-made Chicken Schnitzels and Parmys mingle alongside inventive pub grub takes like vego-friendly Pumpkin Parmies and Salmon Niçoise Salad, served with flaked Atlantic salmon, kipflers, green beans, kalamata olive, cherry tomatoes, cos, anchovy mayo and a soft-boiled egg.  If you’re feeling particularly fancy (or famished) – indulge in a feast fit for a king, with options like Kingfish ceviche, Oysters, and Black Onyx Wagyu Rump, served with shoestring fries.

If crafted bevs are the way to your heart, just wait til you feast your eyes upon the whopping selection of shaken and stirred concoctions, such as the Lamington Martini or Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. The good vibes are guaranteed to be flowing just as freely as the frosty refreshments, with live music going down weekly at Local Friday–Sunday afternoons ’til late.

Phwoar… Local, we’re in love.
