For a slice of true blue nostalgia, get yourself down to the Gold Coast’s newest watering hole, Rosella’s. Inspired by good old-fashioned Aussie culture, the walls are appropriately adorned with slang-inspired art (‘flamin’ galah’ and ‘budgie smuggler’ feature heavily) and the space has an old-school pub vibe about it.
You’ll definitely feel at home here knocking back a couple of ice-cold tinnies after a day in the Burleigh surf. The menu is a playful homage to all things Australiana. Think cocktails inspired by Zooper Dooper icy poles and every Aussie kid’s favourite cereal, Nutri-Grain (the drink is called the Ironman, of course), served alongside fancy Vegemite jaffles and oysters served in Styrofoam eskies. You’re in for a bloody ripper of a time.
