Cornerstone is Gold Coast’s classic American steakhouse, with vintage furnishings and rich colours that give the dining room a Prohibition-era feel. It sits at the west end of the casino near Red Zone. Reservations are recommended, and the adjoining lounge offers a separate place for a pre-dinner drink.

Cornerstone Lounge focuses on the steakhouse’s drinks and lighter bites in a more relaxed bar setting. Whiskey flights, martinis and the extensive Whiskey Library make it particularly interesting for spirits drinkers. It is also where the venue directs guests for its lounge-only happy-hour menu.

Red Zone is Gold Coast’s sports bar and lounge beside Cornerstone Steakhouse. It is intended for watching major sporting events over a drink rather than a formal meal. Ask the bartender about current specials, and check the venue’s event listings if you are planning around a particular game.

Ping Pang Pong serves Chinese cooking from several regional traditions, with noodles, rice dishes, vegetables, meat and seafood across a broad menu. Lunchtime dim sum is a particular draw. The Gold Coast restaurant recommends reservations, making it worth planning ahead if dim sum is a priority for your group.

Noodle Exchange is Gold Coast’s more focused Asian dining stop, built around noodle and rice dishes. Mini hot pots are the house speciality and give you an alternative to ordering a single bowl. The compact dining room suits a casual meal without the ceremony of a larger restaurant.

Made-to-order sub sandwiches.

Java Vegas Coffee gives Gold Coast a quick-service coffee option between meals. Boyd’s coffee brand centres on espresso drinks and lighter refreshments, making it a practical stop for a small pick-me-up. Ask at the counter for the current drinks and snack selection.

Gold Coast’s Bowling Snack Bar keeps familiar food close to the bowling action. Hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza make up the core offering, so it is convenient for a bite during a game or an uncomplicated group snack rather than a separate sit-down dining occasion.
