• Izakaya • Broadbeach

Happy Endings is Broadbeach’s new Japanese-inspired izakaya hiding unsuspectingly above bustling laneway bar and sister venue, Fig + Frankies. While specialising in cocktails, Happy Endings also boasts a late-night snack menu, so you won’t go hungry. Start off with small Japanese-inspired nibbles like hibachi roasted corn and zangi chicken, yakitori and sashimi before moving on to the larger stars. The wagyu don, katsu sando and Korean cauliflower are all home runs with out-of-the-park flavours.
