Longboard Bar & Grill, located in Townsville, North Queensland, has been a popular destination since its opening on March 4th, 2012. The 240-seat establishment is designed with a beach, beer, and surf theme, offering stunning views of Magnetic Island and Cleveland Bay from its prime spot on The Strand.
The venue was created by Chris, originally from the United States, who brings a passion for both food and the scenic beauty of Townsville. Chris wanted to offer a place where locals and visitors could enjoy great food and drinks in a relaxed, coastal atmosphere. The name “Longboard” was inspired by Chris’s friend, ex-ironman Jonathon Crowe, who also started Longboard Brewing Company in Australia, along with his surfing mates.
The menu features a blend of American and Mexican dishes with Australian influences. Signature items like Frank’s Original Buffalo Wings are beloved by locals, while dishes like Baja Fish Tacos bring a taste of the coastal Mexican cuisine. There are also plenty of options for those with dietary preferences, including low gluten, vegan, and vegetarian choices.
For drinks, Longboard offers a wide selection of Australian and international beers, including an impressive range of craft beers on tap. Their wine list provides a mix of affordable options and premium bottles. Cocktails are also a highlight, with classics like mojitos and margaritas. In addition, Longboard offers a variety of non-alcoholic beverages for those who prefer a refreshing drink without the alcohol. The bar also features one of the best selections of quality tequila in Australia, sourced from artisanal distilleries in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, and showcased on their tequila menu.
Longboard Bar & Grill is more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s an experience, combining great food, drinks, and a laid-back coastal vibe with a world-class selection of quality tequila.
