Located within the posh QT Gold Coast, the Stingray Lounge simply oozes sophistication. Inspired by Californian style, the bar's industrial chic decor is perfectly juxtaposed with bright vintage pop art style artwork. While denims are permitted, it's advisable to dress up if you're planning to stop by here. With a retro-meets-modern vibe, Stingray embraces the city's dual aspect of old and new under one glamorous roof. Cocktails highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients with a modern twist - try the Day of the Dead or the Rhubarb Crumble. Tequila enthusiasts will be especially pleased with the excellent selection available here. Opt for window seating and soak in the mesmerizing ocean views.
Located in Mermaid Beach on Glenelg Avenue, this Mexican taqueria brings its own level of quirk to the table. People come here for the rightly spiced Carne Picante and Tempura Haloumi as much as they visit the place to admire their brightly pained Latin murals. The vibe is as convivial and cheerful as the food itself. If you appreciate the classics, then you will be floored by the traditional Carne, filled with beef, green salsa and chorizo. For a more experimental palate, try the Calabaza that comes with sangria-glazed pumpkin. On the drinks front, cocktails such as the Mezcal Margarita and the Verdita match the fiery effects of food.

Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner or a late night snack, they've got you covered big time.
