Runaway Bay Tavern

It has all the broad-shouldered hallmarks of a northern Gold Coast local: a sprawling bistro, a sunny beer garden, and screens tuned to whatever match is commanding the room. You come for a cold schooner and a classic pub feed, settle in at a high table, and let the afternoon drift into evening. Every now and then, the familiar suburban routine gets thoroughly derailed. Drag Queen Bingo rolls through the tavern, trading quiet sports-bar chatter for camp calls, filthy banter, and an unvarnished comedy session that shakes up the dining room entirely. It is suburban pub life with a sudden, sequinned kick…
