About The Surf Club Avoca Beach

The Surf Club Avoca Beach is the restaurant, bar and function space of the Avoca Beach surf life saving club, on Level 1 at 10 Vine Street. It sits directly above the beach, so the dining room and verandahs face the ocean, and a lift runs from the carpark entrance to the first floor for guests who can't manage the stairs. The restaurant and bar open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday, and the same team runs private events. The club's floorplan shows several areas that can be booked: The Hall, a large open room with a stage at one end for bands or speeches; The Restaurant; The Balcony and The Deck along the ocean side, the deck with a fireplace; and a club room beside the bar. For weddings the hall is pitched as a blank canvas you can style yourself, with flexible seating and enough floor for dancing, and the covered verandahs suit sunset drinks between courses. Events can run from small gatherings up to full-venue functions. Catering comes from the club's own kitchen, with menus built around each booking and dietary needs looked after. Grazing tables and feast-style menus are among the options, and the bar pours cocktails, wine and beer, with bar tabs available. TVs, a projector, a sound system and a microphone are on hand. A $500 deposit holds the date, final numbers are due four weeks out, evening events finish at midnight, and minimum spends vary with the space chosen.

One of my favourite spots on the Central Coast, balcony views are perfect on a nice sunny day. Pints are cold and very well priced and the food is really good, had one of the best beef burgers.
