    The outlook of the place is amazing and the staff were wonderful but I think a more varied menu is needed before I return. Also the drinks were very expensive

    It was our first time to the Exhibitionist Bar. I had booked a table inside but asked to be moved to the outside patio. Even though it was a Friday night, they were so obliging and found us this high-top table with an amazing view of the Gold Coast skyline. We watched it go through daylight, dusk and evening and it was spectacular. It must be one of the best views on the coast. Troy was a marvellous host and was so helpful on what to order. On his advice we decided on the corn ribs, hummus and...brussels sprouts which, surprisingly, was the standout dish. The crispy, slow-baked sprouts with the honey chilli sauce were an ingenious combination. So tasty. For drinks, we ordered the Basic Peaches slushy which was this deliciously smooth and creamy layered cocktail. The perfect choice for a sultry late summer evening. I highly recommend the Exhibitionist Bar experience, the location, food, drinks and service was superb. The staff went above and beyond for us which really made the evening for us. Much appreciated.

    Terrible experience, received no food in the hour we waited. Were there for a pre-show dinner and left hungry and frustrated

    The venue is amazing The food menu very boring and unexciting. I'm sure there is a better tapas menu to serve and it would be much busier.

    Fabulous service. Great food (We had the wagyu burger and the cauliflower sandwich). A beautiful Gold Coast view. What more could you ask for on Australia Day? 5 Stars.
