Entertainment at Our Restaurant in Surfers Paradise
Dining is the heart of Zanatik — but for adult guests who’d like to make more of the night, there’s a little more on offer. Our entertainment areas are designed to complement your meal, not replace it, and every one of them is entirely optional. You’re always welcome to enjoy the restaurant on its own.
The Casino Hall
Our Casino Hall is an adults-only entertainment area offering a comfortable, unhurried evening gaming atmosphere. It’s a relaxed space with attentive staff, a considered layout and a calm, sociable feel — the kind of environment where the emphasis is on enjoying the evening.
The Casino Hall offers a general table gaming and electronic gaming atmosphere with comfortable seating and staff on hand throughout the evening. Our aim is to provide a responsible, welcoming environment for guests who choose to visit — with responsible gambling front of mind at all times. Gambling is intended purely as entertainment, and any guest is free to enjoy Zanatik without ever entering this area.
Access to gambling-related areas is restricted to guests aged 18 years and over.
The Bar
Our bar is one of the easiest places in the venue to relax. Whether you’re arriving for a drink before dinner, winding down afterwards or simply calling in for the evening, you’ll find a warm, social atmosphere and a well-stocked bar.
We pour a range of cocktails — signature and classic — alongside regional Australian wine, cold beer and spirits where appropriate. For guests not drinking alcohol, there’s a thoughtful selection of non-alcoholic cocktails and soft drinks. Comfortable bar seating makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy good conversation.
We ask all guests to enjoy alcohol responsibly. Drinking is always a matter of personal choice, and our team practises responsible service throughout the evening.
The Social Lounge and Evening Atmosphere
Beyond the dining room, our social lounge offers a relaxed space to continue the evening at your own pace. It’s designed for easy conversation and comfortable evenings — a natural extension of the restaurant’s welcoming feel.
Occasional Entertainment
From time to time, we bring a little something extra to the evening. You might find live acoustic music, a quiet piano evening, small live performances, a themed dining night or gentle late-evening music filling the room. Our entertainment is deliberately varied and social — plenty to enjoy that has nothing to do with the gaming floor.
Responsible Entertainment
We take the enjoyment and wellbeing of our guests seriously, and responsible gambling is central to how we operate.

Common Questions
Can I visit Zanatik only for dinner?
Absolutely. Zanatik is a restaurant first, and you’re very welcome to visit purely to dine. The bar and Casino Hall are optional, and no guest is ever expected to use them.
Is the Casino Hall 18+?
Yes. Access to gambling-related areas, including the Casino Hall, is restricted to guests aged 18 years and over.
Can I use the bar without entering the Casino Hall?
Of course. The bar is completely separate from the Casino Hall. You can enjoy a drink before or after dinner without ever entering any gambling area.
Is gambling guaranteed to produce winnings?
No. Gambling involves risk and outcomes are always uncertain. It should be treated as entertainment, never as a way to make money.
How can I keep gambling within personal limits?
Decide on your spending and time limits before you start and stick to them, take regular breaks, never chase losses, and never gamble with money set aside for essentials. If it stops being fun, it’s time to stop.
Where can I find gambling support?
Free, confidential support is available through Gambling Help Queensland, Gambling Help Online, and the Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
