Superbly located in Broadbeach, The Lucky Squire is the perfect place for dinner, a fun night out, a special function or a casual catch up over lunch. It is Gold Coast's first James Squire Brewhouse and is a place where you can get acquainted with the brewing process, explore the beer range or enjoy a few wonderful dishes cooked by our chefs in our wood fired kitchen.

Our food is cooked with sustainability and quality of produce in mind. We source the highest-quality, freshest ingredients from local suppliers, to produce exceptional restaurant meals cooked over wood fire. The menu is surely the sort of place that James Squire would most certainly eat at, and we are lucky to continue that legacy.
