An open air bar overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Coral Moon offers a selection of Asian spirits and cocktails.
Part of the recently opened Langham Gold Coast, Coral Moon has been designed by Australian interiors firm, Studio Aria, and features colourful décor, as well as a fireside lounge for the chillier spring evenings.
The Langham Gold Coast’s Director of Marketing and Communications, Victoria Peterson, believes the bar is in keeping with the rest of the hotel.
“Coral Moon is the perfect extension of the luxurious feel intrinsic to The Langham, Gold Coast, but it really has its own unique vibe that we’re excited to see come to life,” Victoria said.
“The venue oozes relaxed romance with its range of lounge seating beside individual fireplaces, making it the perfect spot for a date night under the stars, whilst the uninterrupted ocean views and bright exterior mean it’s a must-try for late afternoons with friends or group gatherings with mouth-watering cocktails, sunshine and delicious food.
“Coral Moon is the ultimate Spring/Summer bar and everything from the location and fit-out to the food menu and cocktails have been carefully curated to suit the beautiful warmer weather.”
The drinks menu has been overseen by Aaron Howard, Bars Manager for the Langham Gold Coast, who said he was inspired by the local produce.
Headlining this menu are five house cocktails, including: ‘Matcha Muchness’ – a combination of local gin, lychee, lemon, match and aquafaba; ‘Best Teas’ – which contains lemongrass-infused Don Julio Blanco, ginger liqueur, and tangy yuzu and green tea; ‘Cherry Blossoms’ – mix of amaretto and cherry herring with a hit of lime and dark soda; ‘Fluorescence’ – featuring Baiju, Midori, Maraschino Luxardo and shimmer; and finally, ‘Drama & Karma’ – described as ‘the ultimate fireside sip’ of Capricorn Coastal rum, strawberry, watermelon, lemon and aquafaba.
“Our five signature exotic cocktails have been concepted and created by our talented mixologists to suit a range of tastes. For those wanting something bubbly and sweet, you can’t go past the Cherry Blossoms and for the flipside, more of a smooth, fruity but dark mix, the Drama & Karma is a must-try,” Aaron explains.
“We’ve incorporated a focus on sourcing local ingredients including a range of carefully selected Australian herbs and botanicals, fresh ingredients from our local produce partners, and a range alcohols and spirits from the Gold Coast region.”
The bar food offering has a focus on modern-Asian-fusion, with BBQ pork baos, Takaoyaki (battered Japanese octopus balls), Cantonese-style boneless fried chicken, eggplant and pumpkin tempura, and vegetarian spring rolls.
Coral Moon is located at Level 3 of the Langham Gold Coast, and is opened Wednesday to Sunday from 4pm to 10pm, dependent on weather conditions.
