Sitting amongst the lakes of Burleigh Waters, on Santa Maria Court, Varsity Lakes Tavern is a well loved local institution. A pillar in the local Robina community, we pride ourselves in serving delicious and modern dishes from our Grillhouse kitchen and refreshing brews for you to enjoy in our Sports Bar and beer garden.

Our menu is inspired by our local area and producers. We proudly offer fresh seafood, delicious steaks, healthy salads and a modern take on all the pub favourites you know and love. We pair our food with an extensive list of craft beer, cocktails and wine to cater to every taste.
Services
The Grillhouse is an affordable, relaxed and social space where we celebrate all cultures that influence the Australian food scene. Our menu is inspired by our surroundings along the coast and our local producers, featuring fresh seafood, succulent steaks, healthy salads and modern takes on pub classics.
We pride ourselves on having something for everyone, with a huge range of wine available hailing from Australian producers to imported overseas drops. We wouldn't be your local without a huge range of beer on tap either, so come in to take a look at the selection we've got and toast with your mates.
Our outdoor Garden Terrace is located just off our Grillhouse Restaurant and is perfect when transformed into a private function area. The Garden Terrace caters for up to 30 people with easy access to the lounge bar. Our large Sports Bar can be converted into a private or non-private area perfect for those small or larger gatherings.
Our Gaming room features 40 of the latest gaming machines, Keno terminal, and link jackpots including the latest Lightning Link Machines. We have a Ticket In Ticket Out system in operation allowing you to move quickly and easily between machines. To add to your experience we provide complimentary tea, coffee and soft drinks for machine players, as well as delicious complimentary toastie snacks.
We strive to be at the heart of our local community by providing a place for friends to meet, for families to relax and to host local functions and events. We are the unofficial 'clubhouse' for a number of local sporting teams - a place to re-convene after matches, sell raffle tickets, celebrate victories and commiserate losses.

The kids area is very handy, ordered an eye fillet steak but found it to not be very tender. Could have been a one off though as we've not been there before. Modern and clean.

Every meal here has been great. There has never been slow service and our orders have always come out correct.
It's a shame they now no longer have staff service your table. You use an app to order your meals, however the app needs a lot more refining. Options for what you want to do with your meal are VERY limited. You have no choice of removing chips and replacing with salad or onion rings etc. It's great that more options have been added for additions to your meal though. I hope eventually this whole app thing is taken away and staff brought back.

I just want to say thank you to the staff for going out of their way to ensure we had a nice time. We were able to use the new system of ordering which was actually really easy to use. It was good as you could see what it was you were ordering. Food was yum too.
