Tropic Vice

Tropic Vice is a sun-drenched rooftop restaurant and bar located at 2215 Gold Coast Highway in the heart of Mermaid Beach, Gold Coast. Inspired by the sun-bleached glamour of Palm Springs and the vibrant energy of Miami, the half-open, half-covered rooftop space is peppered with cacti, greenery, turquoise booths, and a striking back-lit bar, creating a distinctly tropical escape with sweeping uninterrupted views over the Gold Coast. The kitchen serves Florribean cuisine — a fusion of Caribbean and South American flavours — alongside a cocktail list where the house white chocolate passionfruit martini and sublime margaritas are perennial favourites. Thursday taco specials and a weekend bottomless margarita lunch with a five-course menu make it a popular destination for both casual and celebratory dining. Open Wednesday through Sunday, Tropic Vice brings an unmistakably exotic ambience to the Gold Coast's beachside dining scene.
