Waxy's Irish Pub and Skyline Roof Top Bar

Walked in, pub was fairly empty, but the live music was unreasonably loud. If I visited this Pub after maybe 5 pints I'd be fine. Looked for a dinner and drinks with some friends. As we looked at the menu, the daily special was a $10 steak. Sounds great. The $10 steak REQUIRES a side to be chosen and the sides are $5 each. While $15 is quite cheap still, the fact that you are showing a steak for a price, but then it actually requires you to spend more is stupid. We left and went to Finn McCools instead for a Pint. I cant comment on food or service as we did not eat or interact.

Absolutely disgusting and beyond disappointing. The food is outrageously overpriced and an absolute embarrassment. I wouldn’t serve it to a starving dog, let alone a paying customer. The pizza had barely any toppings I’ve genuinely had better from Eagle Boys Pizza, and that’s saying something. The steak was ordered medium rare and came out well done completely overcooked and dry. The burger bun was stale, dry, and clearly toasted twice to try and hide it. It tasted like zero care or pride went into anything that left that kitchen. Service was average at best indifferent and careless. The whole venue has a horrible smell and looks like it hasn’t been updated in decades. It’s tired, run down, and desperately in need of a renovation. The only decent thing about the place was winning the major on the pokies. Without that win, the entire visit would have been a complete waste of time and money. Embarrassing experience. Management should be ashamed. I won’t ever be back.

Where on the Gold Coast can you get a delicious $10 rump steak? The answer is waxy’s Irish pub. It was cooked to perfection and you choose a side to accompany it for $5 extra. The staff were friendly and the authentic atmosphere sealed the deal. Will definitely be back.

“Fantastic atmosphere with a true Irish pub feel right in the heart of Surfers Paradise. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the drinks are well-priced, and there’s a great selection of beers on tap. The food is delicious and hearty – perfect pub meals with generous portions. Live music and entertainment make it a great spot for a night out, whether you’re with friends or just stopping in for a quick pint. Always a good vibe at Waxy’s – highly recommended!”
