Dirty Moes

Dirty Moes sits on Esplanade Street in Mooloolaba, one of the Sunshine Coast's most popular seaside towns just back from the famous beach. A lively bar and eatery, it's built a strong following for its crowd-pleasing food, good drinks and buzzing atmosphere — the kind of fun, sociable spot that's become a popular fixture of the Mooloolaba scene.

The appeal is that combination of casual, satisfying food, a great drinks offering and an energetic, beachside-town vibe, ideal for a casual meal, drinks with friends or a fun night out near the beach. In a popular holiday town, building this kind of following speaks to a venue that delivers on both the food and the vibe.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,400 reviews, it's clearly keeping its crowd happy. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Mooloolaba venue fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details before you head down — though for a casual meal or a relaxed drink near the beach, it's often just a matter of dropping in and settling in.
