A MOODY sports and cocktail bar has been revealed as the final piece in a multimillion-dollar club makeover on the Gold Coast.

Currumbin RSL is close to completing the $4 million restaurant and members area refurbishment, with plans to open its new destination bar by mid-December.

HOW SURFERS SITE WENT FROM GRUNDY’S TO ‘RUN DOWN’

Designed by Cayas Architects, director Jeremy Ward described the project as a relaxed resort-style design compared to a more traditional club environment.

The first stage opened in January this year comes complete with a light and beachy accents, which will contrast with the new cocktail area.

Mr Ward said the new area would juxtapose the light and bright environment on the water frontage of the space, with the use of darker timbers, earthy stone and limited directional lighting combining to create an ambience and space more reflective of a late night spirit bar.

“It is the end of the bottom floor renovation and will be a bit of a separate space from the club environment,” said club marketing manager Marc Thompson.

STUNNING REVELATIONS OVER THE FUTURE OF COAST JOBS

While the renovations had already been planned before the pandemic hit, Mr Thompson said he believes the new face of the club will draw customers back in.

“The area has been completely boarded up for some time so it will be a nice sunrise to people who haven’t been here for some time,” he said.

“It will add to the variety of the space and showcase how versatile we can be as a venue.”
