GC500 Weekend at the Island

Get ready to rev up your GC500 weekend at the Island.

As the GC500 roars into town, we’re nudging the needle up to full throttle with a lineup that’ll leave you feeling like a champion.

Goldie’s:

We’ve got your front-row seat to all the heart-pounding action. Watch the qualifying rounds and race thrills unfold on the giant LED screens, broadcasting live from the track just up the road. But we’re not stopping at just spectating – fuel up with a menu fit for racing royalty. Sink your teeth into a Wagyu beef and bacon burger, savour succulent steaks, indulge in wood-fired pizzas, or opt for plates perfect for sharing with mates – all while clutching a cold beer in your other hand, of course. And as the afternoon rolls on and the checkered flag approaches, sit back and groove to the live tunes while people-watching along Surfers Paradise Boulevard. And, thanks to our mates at Jack Daniel’s – buy any JD throughout the week at Goldie’s and you could be taking home a limited-edition cradle of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select. Goldie’s is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Check out the menu and book online.

The Island Rooftop:

Soak in the Gold Coast sunshine pre-race and soak up the open-air vibes at The Island Rooftop. Start your day in style with a Rooftop Graze lunch on Saturday or indulge in a Bottomless Brunch on Sunday – both include a 2-hour cocktail drinks package that’s as refreshing as it is divine. If you’re looking to unwind before or after the excitement of the race, join us for an Island Signature cocktail paired with delectable rooftop delights. And as the sun dips below the horizon, bask in the panorama views while our DJs set the weekend’s soundtrack on fire. It’s the perfect blend of relaxation and revelry that you won’t want to miss. In celebration of the GC500 and the sweet sounds of summer, gather five or more of your mates, book your spot on the Rooftop from Friday to Sunday and you’ll automatically enter the draw to win a ‘Summer Sunset Soiree by Red Bull’ – valued at $600. It’s the ultimate way to cap off a weekend filled with thrills and spills.
