About Rosella's

Those who know their native botanicals head straight here—this Burleigh Heads bar channels classic Australiana without the tired clichés.

Patrons come for post-beach rounds and end up staying for kangaroo burgers, shareable skewers, and warm fish toast. Drinks run the room. Cocktails lean inventive with nostalgic nods, from Uluru pours to glasses crowned with house-made Fantales.

  • Aussie-Forward Mixology: Pours highlighting native ingredients and nostalgic nods, including an Uluru cocktail and a house-made Fantale drink.
  • Nostalgic Atmosphere: A relaxed, low-lit space spinning a soundtrack composed strictly of Australian tunes.
  • Distinctive Bar Bites: A distinct spread of shareable bar plates, from kangaroo burgers to skewers and fish toast.
