• Wine Bar • Mermaid Beach

Booked 13 times today

Moustache is the latest newcomer to the Mermaid Beach bar scene and while it hasn’t officially swung open its doors, swathes of wine-loving revellers are already privy to its whereabouts. You’d be forgiven for thinking the pint-sized spot in the new Oxley precinct is just a cafe, but oh, how wrong you’d be.Headed up by Brodie Green, the founder behind Burleigh Heads coffee institution Seadog and The Oxley precinct star Buoy, Moustache has a strong ethos of keeping it simple, and doing it damn well. Created with the Mermaid Beach lifestyle in mind, Moustache effortlessly merges the laidback vibes of an espresso joint with the elegance of a wine bar. European influences are strong throughout—from the Italian-inspired breakfast dishes to the international vinos and Euro-esque small plates.

We had a lovely brunch on Sunday morning. Coffee was great, food was fresh. They were quite large size meals. Service was great. We used both options of the QR code and going to the counter. The atmosphere was gorgeous, people had their very well behaved dogs and the garden scene with flowers and wall plants was a lovely setting. Will definitely be going back to try more things on the menu.
