About Eddie's Grub House

Eddie’s Grub House pairs unapologetic dive-bar grit with hefty, sauce-dripping burgers and live rock music just off the sand in Coolangatta. Squeeze into a booth beneath dim red glow and vintage band posters, or grab a stool near the pinball machine. Cold beers flow easily alongside baskets of double cheeseburgers, buffalo blue cheese jalapeño wings, and crunchy onion rings. Regular Sunday open mic jams bring together local bands and house musicians across generations, while the kitchen delivers the ultimate post-surf refuel.

  • Heavyweight Comfort Food: Towering double cheeseburgers, seasoned fries, and saucy chicken wings built for serious post-surf appetites.
  • Unvarnished Dive-Bar Character: Low red lighting, walls plastered in vintage rock posters, cold tap beers, and a playable pinball machine.
  • Live Jams & Local Bands: Lively Sunday open mic sessions and house sets uniting local musicians of all ages.

Why Guests Choose Eddie's Grub House

Substantial grub, cold tap beers, and live rock energy right by the beach.

  • Hearty Burgers and Comfort Fare

    Eddie's serves massive, sauce-drenched burgers paired with crispy sides that leave guests completely filled after beach runs or day trips.

    The burgers are the right amount of grubby, meaning juicy and saucey, along side the fries which are perfectly seasoned.

  • Fresh Cold Beers on Tap

    Patrons can pair their substantial meals with crisp draft beers served straight from tap in a casual counter setting.

    Beers on tap were fresh and cold.

  • Unapologetic Grunge Dive Atmosphere

    The bar delivers a raw rock 'n' roll vibe with vintage band posters across the walls, red ambient lighting, and pinball.

    The decor screams rock ‘n’ roll, with walls adorned in band posters, a playlist full of classics, and a cozy, slightly grungy feel that’s inviting yet effortlessly cool.

  • Unrushed Group Gatherings

    The back room and welcoming crew offer a relaxed spot for birthdays and gatherings where no one is rushed off their table.

    Spent the day here for a mates birthday, booked the back room out. The staff were friendly and the service was good. At no point were we rushed

    Crispy, golden perfection on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. If you try one thing here, make it this!

  • The Mac Daddy Jr

    The Mac Daddy tasted delicious with the Mac having a little garlic taste through but the fresh cut through of spring onion really helped balance the burger.

Before you head over

Practical tips on group seating, schedule timing, and tackling the hearty menu.

  • Book Ahead for Larger Groups

    Eddie's operates in a tight, compact dive bar setup where space fills fast and groups can find it tough to sit together. If you are planning a group outing or birthday, arrange a back room reservation in advance.

  • Time Visits Around Jam Sessions & Operating Days

    The house jam sessions and open mic events draw energetic crowds, but the venue runs on limited weekly hours and is closed early in the week before reopening Wednesday. Confirm operating days before heading over.

  • Prepare for Messy, Substantial Servings

    Burgers like the double or triple patties and wing platters arrive exceptionally large, juicy, and sauce-drenched. Grab plenty of napkins upfront, or opt for vegetarian jackfruit alternatives if catering to plant-based diners.
