Backlane Bar & Street Food

Best Known For

Black pepper soft shell crab bao, pickles and lime mayo.

Mooloolaba locals looking for a late-night destination head to Backlane Bar & Street Food on First Avenue. As unpretentious as the location – just one street away from Mooloolaba Beach – swing by for a drink and share plates, or settle in for the evening on bench-style seating indoors, or alfresco street tables. As long as the lights are on, this funky wine bar will be serving delicious fare from an eclectic Mediterranean tapas menu, in surrounds of a vibrant graffiti-style wall mural, statement pendents and a well-stocked bar. Grab a signature Octopus’s Garden cocktail and graze on share plates like popcorn prawns, sweet corn and black bean vinaigrette and finger lickin’ good chicken wings, satay and cucumber relish; or perhaps a pork belly taco, Asian slaw and tamarind caramel entices.
