Services
Wines inspired by the same ethos as our craft beers. Free from of all the fining agents + sulphites that the mass wineries use, allowing you to feel better the next day (maybe not if you glug 10 glasses though). A bit of funkiness + cloudiness (just like some of our beers) but let us assure you, these are tasty vessels of grape juice.
Casual dining atmosphere and tapas style food. Designed to cater to all ages & tastebuds / Perfect to share with family & friends, just like they do in streets throughout Asia / Flavours of our freshly made dishes were created to compliment our beverage selection. We're all about family at Backbone.
WED/THU/FRI: 4pm SAT & SUN: 12pm We love to sling beers and wines til late each night! However late diners are welcome to give us a buzz on 0467 649 202 to confirm if the kitchen is still open after 8.30pm. NOTE: Call or email us if you're unable to book online for busy nights or events and we will do our best to sort a table for you if we have a cancellation.

The best little secret in town. Oops. Truly amazing Japanese Food, authentically cooked. Great staff. Live music, pinball machines and a Gelato bar. But the beer selection on tap and off is mindblowing. Locally sourced and regular additions. All great value. Highly recommend.

Gavin and his team are outstanding. Awesome gin, excellent food. Live entertainment makes a great atmosphere.
Great local business and in these times it is important to help Australia business and workers doing great things. I’d definitely recommend going there for food and drinks.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
