Why it's worth checking out

Gilhooley's Sunshine Plaza is an Irish pub and restaurant in Maroochydore, presented by the venue as an Irish welcome by the water. Its focus is genuine Irish hospitality, with entertainment also part of the experience, making it a place to visit for a relaxed pub meal, a drink or a social outing in the Sunshine Plaza precinct.

The venue is part of the Gilhooley's story, which began on Albert Street in 1994. The business now operates two locations, with the Sunshine Plaza venue bringing that Irish pub identity to the Sunshine Coast while the original Brisbane City site remains in the heart of Brisbane's CBD. The website positions both venues as sharing the same character and welcome.

There is limited information available online about the Sunshine Plaza venue's menu, layout or regular entertainment, so it is best viewed as a straightforward Irish pub and restaurant rather than a venue with a clearly documented signature dish or dining format. Gilhooley's Sunshine Plaza has a Google rating of 3.9 from 199 reviews, offering a useful indication of how it has been received by previous visitors.
