About The Dayboro Drop

A country drive out to Dayboro delivers golden schnitzels, stiff cocktails, and genuine small-town hospitality. Regulars line up for the schnitty—thick chicken in a light crumb, capped with molten parmy toppings or ordered completely gluten-free for coeliac diners. The bar shakes a mean espresso martini alongside cold pints, while Wednesdays keep tables buzzing over heaps of one-dollar buffalo wings. Crisp hot chips, house salad dressings, and shared jalapeño starters round out long, unhurried lunches on Heathwood Street.

  • Coeliac-Safe Pub Staples: Kitchen accommodates coeliacs with dedicated gluten-free schnitzels, custom parmy toppings, and dedicated gluten-free burger buns.
  • $1 Wing Wednesdays: Midweek crowds gather for weekly Wednesday nights featuring one-dollar chicken wings in buffalo, bbq, and dry seasonings.
  • Scenic Day-Trip Dining: Ideal destination along a scenic Moreton Bay country drive, pairing craft cocktails with generous chicken parmies.
