Live music is a central part of Surf Cafe’s character, adding an entertainment element to the restaurant and bar format. The venue suits diners who enjoy food with a lively social backdrop, as well as those looking for a place where a meal can extend into an evening out. Music schedules may vary, so performance details are best checked directly with the venue.
The drinks offering includes tequila served over ice, speciality gins, cocktails, craft beers and selected wine. Tequila is presented as something to savour alongside a spicy meal or enjoy on its own, rather than only as a quick party drink. The bar therefore caters to both relaxed meals and informal drinks in a sociable setting.
