Sure, it does happen to be a beachside pub which is basically just across the road from the main beach at Miami (in Queensland, not Florida), but for a beachside pub I really wasn't too impressed. I guess it was because there seemed to be a lack of decent beers, but then again, maybe it was that I simply wandered into the wrong part of the pub.

It's a rarity to find a pub or bar in the hustle and bustle of Surfers Paradise where the staff actually enjoy working there. It definitely makes a difference to the venue's vibe! The bar staff also enjoy a good chat and a bit of banter across the bar and this is one of the few Irish pubs in Surfers that actually employees Irish people! Not only adding to the atmosphere, but it means there are staff who can actually pour a good pint of Guinness! There is live music most nights of the week from 9pm, with a band on every Friday and Saturday night. True to their roots there is also traditional Irish entertainment there every Sunday afternoon. In terms of food it has a great range of pub style food at great prices. I've found the food to always be amazing, even the specials (usually $10-15) are spot on! You definitely can't go past the $10 steaks that they do for lunch and dinner! One of the main things that I LOVE about the food here is that they stick to what they're good at; good quality pub-style food at a reasonable price! This is a great pub that caters for everyone, from families, to older couples and young 20-somethings looking for a good night out, there is something for everyone in Fiddlers. This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of the owners and management! See you there!

My chicken parma wasn't dry or burnt and was served with delicious chips and salad. A little more salad dressing would have been good. The menu also includes other items but limited in selection.

It wasn't too busy and the menus were situated at the order counter. The menu had various options including chicken parmigiana, seafood and steaks which I chose from. I ordered the 200g rump which came with salad and chips. We were given a buzzer and had to collect our meals and drinks from the counter which was a bit odd. The portion sizes were big and my meat came with a delicious gravy. Overall, my food was hot, tasty and cooked well. Loved the ambience and look of the place and would come here again.

Place looked impressive, they have a prohibition theme going on and some staff were dressed in that era. I must say, they looked very stylish. A smiling and very personable Abigail took our coffee orders and the charming Shannon took our food requests. Kudos to the flair and the warm interaction they both had. Nothing was troublesome and the food arrived in less then 10 minutes. Wow. I would definitely come here again; especially after Abigail took the time to talk about the Loose Moose like it was her own business. The young lady has passion and it's so obvious she loves what she does. The cocktail menu was pretty phenomenal and those that are interested there're about 80 varieties of whiskey! This is now on my must visit places in Broadbeach and I hope they retain their service, style and old world meets modern charm. Thanks guys!

Of course, being the…read moreghost adventurers we are, I looked up "haunted hotels in Brisbane" on google when we were looking for our next experience. The Royal (James) hotel was the first one to pop up. The trip out to Harrisville is beautiful, surrounded by Australian mountains and farming lands as you travel through cute little towns. It's not hard to find the RH at all and it's the first thing you'll see as you're coming on to queen street. I was immediately in awe of the property, it's been kept in wonderful condition and sits on a huge piece of land. It's so awesome that there is free camping for patrons, great idea for anyone traveling long distance, or if you've had one too many XXXX bitters. The woman behind the bar was beyond friendly, which came as a surprise to me because so far my experience with small town pubs in Australia has been below expectations. The menu isn't just "pub food" as you may expect and they have glasses of wine for under $6! (Alcohol in Australia is pricey so this is good). Back to the menu, you can order pasta, pizza, fish n chips, steak, salads...etc. The lunch specials were: fish n chips for $12 Steak and chips for $12 Or a burger and chips for $12 (hey america, they call fries chips here:D) The menu states that if you have any food allergies at all, the staff would be happy to accommodate, cool! My dad and I ordered salt and pepper calamari to start, and both got fish n chips. Everything was good, especially the calamari, the fish was ok but nothing too special. Service was really so great, the lady I mentioned earlier was happy to tell us a little history about the place too. If you're ever in Brisbane and are looking for a casual, historical, and peaceful day, come here! The sky surrounding it is worth the trip itself. I'm definitely going to try and come here for a camping weekend, and maybe get spooked by some of the supposed ghosts that hang around here.
