Draculas in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia | Restaurant

Hello and welcome to Draculas Restaurant and Cabaret, Surfers Paradise, Australia. It all began in 1962 when Tikki and John Newman decided to open a late night coffee house on Exhibition Street in Melbourne, to catch the crowds as they left the theatres, From humble beginnings, this pint sized venue evolved into Tikki & John's Music Hall which featured a fully produced show and restaurant, and soon boasted a waiting list of twelve months. T&J's became a Melbourne Institution and set the standard in dinner theatre. Draculas was Australia's first Theatre Restaurant.

Off the main drag in a converted shopping centre, Draculas doors creaked open with all odds stacked against it. Fortunately the locals fell in love with the eccentric comedy and intimate atmosphere and soon the venue became known for the long quse that would stretch to the end of the block. Eventually the cramped little venue was re furbished and became another Newman creation, The Comedy Clinic. The current location between Jupiters Casino and Pacific Fair shopping center, is a Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast Landmark. A fully operational Ghost Train now takes customers into the theatre.
