Born in the mid seventies, this restaurant is lovingly called 'an old lady in the twilight of her life' and let's just say that it's a twilight we can all only hope for! Originally the first wine bar in Queensland, the ultra-funky venue quickly became the Gold Coast hotspot in the late '70s and '80s. In 2003, she wore a different face again and became the Swingin' Safari - restaurant, bar and emporium. From Thursdays to Sundays, the Swingin' Safari invites you to take a step back in time to experience the kitsch glamour of the golden days of the Gold Coast.
Don't miss the Sunday afternoon gourmet barbecues or try the Safari chilli pan-fried prawns with black sesame seeds. Regardless of why you come to the Swingin' Safari - be it the food, the bar, the atmosphere, the insanity (your menus will tell you your meal prices include truth, love, freedom and fun) - or the x factor that this 'old lady' definitely still has, you'll leave feeling warm and fuzzy for this slice of history in the otherwise ever-changing Gold Coast.
