Corbin's

Corbin’s is a local cocktail bar on Duporth Avenue in the heart of Maroochydore, open Wednesday to Sunday. It is built around drinks, shareable food and an easy neighbourhood feel, with the venue describing its approach as unpretentious and focused on good produce and good company. There is also a patio for Sunday sessions, when doors open from 2pm, making it a natural option for easing into the afternoon or settling in for an evening catch-up.

The cocktail list mixes familiar styles with more distinctive house creations. Corbin’s Old Fashioned takes a classic direction with bourbon, Drambuie, walnut and chocolate bitters, while the Tommy’s Chilli Margarita combines tequila, mezcal, jalapeño, cucumber, lime and agave. Other signature options include the East Garden, made with gin, elderflower, cucumber, basil, lime and sesame, and the Mango Cloud, which brings together rum, mango, pineapple, lime and coconut. There are also established favourites such as the Negroni, Dirty Martini and Espresso Martini, plus custom mocktails on request.

Drinks extend beyond cocktails, with Australian and international wines available by the glass or bottle, beers on tap and further options from the fridge. The food is designed for grazing and sharing, ranging from oysters, marinated olives and house focaccia to whipped fetta, truffle mushroom arancini, lamb skewers and a charcuterie board. For something more substantial, the menu includes Corbin’s Fried Chicken, mortadella sando and crispy calamari, with chocolate pudding for dessert. The venue says dietary requirements are taken seriously and asks guests to speak with the team when ordering.

Corbin’s suits a date night, a small group looking to share plates or a relaxed neighbourhood drink. Its weekly rituals give regular visits a different focus: Wednesdays pair tapas with wine, Thursdays feature freshly shucked oysters, and Sundays are dedicated to margaritas. A daily early-evening Neighbours Rate also covers selected drinks and snacks. The website has additionally promoted a chef takeover series with Jake Pregnell, including a nine-course tasting menu matched with three cocktails, showing how the venue can shift from casual drinks and plates into a more structured food-and-cocktail experience.
