Description

The restaurant offers a beautiful oceanfront setting but some reviewers were disappointed by various issues. One customer was put off by the presence of dogs at nearby tables, feeling it was unsanitary. Another noted a decline in food quality and service compared to previous visits. There were also complaints about restroom cleanliness and a wine pricing discrepancy. However, other diners had a fantastic experience, praising the attentive staff, delicious meals, live music, and impressive views. Despite some negative feedback, the overall consensus seems to be positive, with many recommending a visit to the establishment while in Caloundra.

I always have a great time at Drift! The staff here are incredibly friendly, and I think the food is amazing. Jonny, Tori, and Jess are my favorites! They provide excellent customer service. Definitely the best bar in Caloundra!

My fiancé and I absolutely adore Drift Bar! Whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just drinks, we've visited multiple times since it reopened and have never been let down. The atmosphere is always fantastic, and the staff is wonderful! I highly recommend it. The sangria and pork belly bites with sweet potato wedges on the bar snacks menu, as well as the smashed avocado on the breakfast menu, are incredibly delicious!

I visited Drift Bar for the first time yesterday, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The staff were warm and friendly, and the wine was excellent as I enjoyed the live music. I will definitely be coming back regularly!

I've grown up here on the sunnycoast but this is the first time I've eaten here and I'll definitely be coming back! Best burger I've ever eaten and the first time I've walked away from somewhere not still feeling hungry.
