Introduction

What is a Granddad's Bar Experience?

Granddad’s Bars are the heart and soul of Granddad Jack’s Craft Distillery—a globally recognised, multi-award-winning spirits brand from the Gold Coast. 

These aren’t just cocktail bars; they’re vibrant, welcoming spaces where storytelling, exceptional hospitality, and unforgettable customer experiences set a new benchmark for the industry—one drink, one person, one place at a time.

At Granddad’s Bars, we exclusively serve our own handcrafted spirits and showcase cocktails alongside locally sourced Australian beer and wine, bringing the finest of the region to every glass.

A unique opportunity

Why partner with granddad jack's?

Stand Out In A Competitive Market

With Granddad Jack’s, you’re not just running a bar—you are part of an iconic, world-class Australian brand. Your bar becomes the only destination in town serving Granddad Jack’s exclusive spirits, a unique advantage that no competitor can replicate.

Do What You Love - Leave The Rest To Us

We take care of the time-consuming tasks most small bar owners dislike—like administration, marketing, and compliance—so you can focus on creating great drinks and unforgettable guest experiences.

Exclusive Monthly Releases

Be the first to offer your customers a new story every month with Granddad Jack’s innovative, limited-edition spirits. No other bar will have what you do, keeping your menu fresh and your patrons coming back for more.

Boost Your Revenue With Takeaway Sales

Unlike most small bars restricted by liquor licenses, our partnership enables you to sell bottles of Granddad Jack’s spirits for takeaway. This unique opportunity adds a lucrative revenue stream and sets you apart from the competition.

A Network of Support

Join a network of passionate, like-minded bar owners who share your commitment to excellence. As part of the Granddad Jack’s family, you’ll have the resources and reputation to grow faster and, if desired, sell your business at a premium in the future.

Franchising Opportunities

  • Marketing, administration, payroll, HR, compliance, and lease negotiations, are all managed by us as part of the ongoing licensing fee.

  • You’ll also gain access to our exclusive takeaway bottle sales system.

What We're Looking For for In a partnership

Commitment to Quality & Experience

We seek partners who prioritise exceptional service and a premium customer experience. Maintaining high standards in how our spirits are presented, served, and enjoyed, ensures a strong brand reputation and lasting customer loyalty.

Knowledgeable & Passionate People

To be successful in the hospitality industry, we need partners who genuinely connect with our brand & share our passions. The best partnerships are built with people who embrace the craftsmanship, history, and values that make Granddad Jack’s unique.

Ongoing & Honest Communication

We believe in open, honest communication where feedback flows both ways—allowing us to support each other in achieving shared success. We’re committed to providing the tools, training, and resources needed to help our partners thrive. 

Handcrafted by our family

Every one of our core range products brings to life a part of Granddad Jack’s story and is carefully crafted, distilled, bottled and waxed by hand at our family-owned distillery. 

Distilled from neutral grape spirit

Unlike most other gin brands, that have a base spirit distilled from grain, our white spirits are distilled from grape marc. This provides a superior base for our spirits with a smoother texture and is suitable for gluten intolerant consumers. This choice of production is also catering to the growing demand for sustainably produced spirits by providing a closed-loop ecosystem for the by-product of wine making, grape skin. 

Made in Queensland

Our spirits are 100% produced at our Miami, Gold Coast distillery, with majority of our ingredients & materials sourced within Queensland. 

Handcrafted by our family
