Why it's worth checking out
Backlane Bar and Street Food sits on First Avenue in Mooloolaba, one of the Sunshine Coast's most popular seaside towns. A bar and street-food spot, it combines flavour-packed, share-style street food with good drinks and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere — the kind of fun, sociable venue that suits a casual feed and drinks.
The appeal is that combination of tasty street-food-style dishes, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, buzzing atmosphere in a convenient Mooloolaba location, ideal for a casual dinner, drinks and shared plates or a fun night out near the beach. The casual, share-style format makes it a great fit for a sociable evening, and Backlane has clearly won over both locals and visitors.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Mooloolaba spot fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for tasty street food, a drink and a relaxed atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Mooloolaba.
