    Cato’s

    This firmly established wine bar gets packed on warm summer nights by masters of the smart casual. Whirling fans keep the breeze running down the polo tops of the 30-plus crowd, as you peruse the 30-strong wine list and spill your own life story. The regular live music gets loud!

    Reef Hotel

    Classic country meets coast at the grandstanding Reef Hotel, a multifloored long-time favourite. The downstairs club cranks until 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. During the day, patrons watch or gamble on sport, munch hearty pub meals and spread sand all over the place.

    Zachary’s

    Noosa Heads’ Zachary’s offers an alternative for electronic kids who still love eating great pizza, chugging cocktails and checking people out. The walls are dark red, the day beds made of velvet, and the overall preparty bravado is very hard to resist.

    Koala Bar

    Meet a partner with a use-by date at the free-spirited, lemon-and-salted backpacker bar par excellence. Sweaty bands bang out all-too-familiar tunes, but you’ve gotta love the dedication of the beer-swilling temporary expats.

    Noosa SLSC

    Feel like a single-minded surfing mogul millionaire after a few jars in the $6 million, almost-famous Noosa Surf Life Saving Club. The views are unbelievable, as is the fact that pokies are played so close to paradise!

    Mooloolaba SLSC

    A traditional Aussie icon, the surf club somehow seamlessly morphs from a midweek good-value family outing to a weekend singles pick-up joint where local bands play circa 1980s dance music every Friday night. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the deck provide stunning views.

    Zachary's

    The place to meet for after-work drinks or to fuel up for a Friday night on the town. Small booths, floor cushions, low central lounges and a hip DJ set the mood. The gourmet pizza menu is matched with an impressive cocktail list starring New Zealand's 42-Below vodka. Beware, the bar staff are heavy-handed with the limes.
