Come meet the Draculas ... arghhhhh!

I have read a lot about travelling guides and blog on Gold Coast but rarely do I come across people visiting, to me, is a must go restaurant. It is none other than the Dracula's Cabaret Restaurant. The receptionist at the vacation home where I stayed suggested for me to go there and passed me the number to make bookings. Whoa ... really?!? And when I confirmed my table, they charged my credit card immediately. Which means they don't give a damn in the event of that I did not turn up for whatever reason.


The Dracula Cabaret Restaurant is located between Jupiter Casino and Pacific Fair on a street named 'Hooker Boulevard' (no kidding). Anyway it is very easy to find. As we pulled into the parking lot, a fully clad 'red devil' beauty with tail and whip was directing us to park properly. Ah-ha ... a good start!

Anyway, this is me queing at the entrance
When it was my turn to go in, I realised that we are supposed to sit in a 'Ghost Train' to enter the 'Theatre of the Vampire'. Cool! Anyway, because of how scary the 'Parking attendant' and Maitre look, I was kind of scared (ok, really scared), so I closed my eyes on the entire train journey. Yeah, I know ... shame on me.

OK, I can't take much picture in the restaurant as the full fledged cabaret show was aired live to a tv network in Australia. So, they didn't want the flash affecting the live show. Anyway, it was really really cool. Every single waiters looks like a vampired or scary ghost.

Above is my pick of favourite waitress, a scary little blonde ghost.

And since we can't take much picture, we just do what most tourist did, that is to buy this damn picture from them.


Anyway, it's a hell of lot of fun and nightmare induced too. Not recommended for kids though.
