DRY JULY AT PAVILION
Those struggling through Dry July can still
indulge in artisan cocktails this month –
without the hangover.
The Gold Coast’s newest bar du jour, Beach
Bar at Burleigh Pavilion, has teamed up with
Lyres Co to launch Club Sober, a month-long
celebration of alcohol-free cocktails.
Revellers can enjoy $12 Seaside Spritz, Not
So Drunken Sailor and EspressNO Martinis
- all mixed with non-alcoholic spirits – while
watching the surfers ride the waves at
Queensland’s Burleigh Point.
