Tikki & John’s
It all began in 1964 when Tikki and John Newman opened a late-night coffee house on Exhibition Street in Melbourne, catering to theatre crowds.

With a waiting list of twelve months, it became a Melbourne institution and set the standard for dinner theatre in Australia.

We had so much fun!!! I moved to the Gold Coast in 2000 and for 25 years I wanted to go to Dracula's - finally we went last night. Great and funny show - beautiful people - I thought it was going to be more scary.
Had the best time! Couldn't stop laughing or being amazed by the talent! Couldn't recommend enough! We even had a few of us on our table get pulled up on stage 😂
Was unbelievable! 10/10 from food to performance to the staff great night !
Fantastic night loved it recommend going to the show
There is a woman with glasses who seems to be the supervisor asking me to get out! I'm very angry about this! I didn't spend money to face you yelling at me! But the other staff are very friendly, especially the cheerful handsome man. I like him very much. He is very good at enlivening the atmosphere!
Lady Nightshades voice and stage presence was fang-tastic. No doubt why she's the leader of this troupe! I've been to Moulin Rouge in Paris and would much rather watch this gang of groovey ghouls perform on stage. 10/10 Matt Stoker. 🧛♂️
What an amazing night. Highly recommended all round brilliant. Great singers especially Menagerie if that is correct. Funny, acrobatics outstanding Will come again. Thank you
The show was fantastic!! Most staff were awesome! The only thing I would say would be, the seats right at the front were pretty shit as my back was to the stage and had to tilt my neck back the whole show. Shouldn’t have paid extra for A reserve as B reserve seats had a way better view and better seats. :(
My partner and I had an amazing time. We always look forward to coming to Dracula's whenever we are up in the Gold Coast. The staff helped look after us really well, especially with my partner's condition. We are looking forward to coming back again when we return 😀
Had the most amazing night last night. Our server Cadaver was exemplary and the food, drinks, and performances were everything I’d heard they’d be and more. I had high hopes for Dracula’s and they did not disappoint! My partner and I were delighted to receive gift vouchers for Christmas, which is why we chose the Gold Coast for our anniversary holiday. It’s been the highlight of the trip, as we knew it would be. I’m sure we’ll come again many times! Truly a perfect example of a team of many differently talented people coming together to create an experience like none other, we will remember this night forever.
Very good show very happy and well done I will be back
Great night, definitely recommend going. The show and staff are fantastic! the food is decent, I have been a few times, I would like them to change up the dessert.
We had a ball at the show!! Everything was amazing from when we first got there right to leaving!
This is the 5th time we've been over the years when visiting from New Zealand. Still a fantastic show with excellent food. Highly recommend.
The wait in the carpark really sets the tone for the whole night. Not sure why the staff need to lean into an aggressive customer service style, they should try be overly eccentric and hospitable instead of swearing and giving everyone the finger. The aggression just doesn’t fit the rest of the show.
As return sinners to Dracula’s castle (this was our fifth visit over the years), it’s always an adventure to see the latest cabaret performance as this amazing group of blood suckers work their proverbial arses off to offer their victims, oops, sorry, guests, fresh new shows regularly. This current show, Menagerie, has to be the best we’ve seen to date!! With some of the sexiest vampires spinning & acrobating overhead on flying birdcages, poles (not stripper poles, get your head out of the gutter!) & swathes of ribbon. Lady Nightshade (the main performer in Menagerie) has the voice of an angel!! So if there are any record producers reading this, you NEED to get her in a recording studio!! Meanwhile, you’re being waited on (I’d like to say “hand & foot” but I’m pretty sure a couple of these vamps have a foot fetish & you could end up losing a toe or two if you offered up your foot!!) by the serving vampires with delectable food (3 courses peeps!!) & dietary friendly if you’ve got half a brain & let them know when you’re booking. From the moment you walk through the gates, your Dracula’s experience begins & it doesn’t stop until you walk/drive back out onto the street. Make sure you bring your wallet with you, the cocktails are to die for, you have the opportunity to capture a photo memory with your crew & the merch is AWESOME!! Take it from us, if you want an all around GREAT night & AMAZING experience, you CANNOT GO PAST Dracula’s Cabaret!! BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW!!
I would 100% go back, worth it every dollar..
It was a fun night out. Thanks Dracula's!
went with the family and each of us really enjoyed the night, we will be coming back again
The overall experience was awesome. The only negative was the extended wait in the carpark. My suggestion is to stagger the entry and arrival times for the VIPs and the pov packers. We would have preferred to be enjoying a drink in the bar instead of standing around uncomfortably in the carpark.
It was a great night out, loved the show and we had best waitress Thing". Can't wait to go again"
Fantastic night. Loved every minute
4th time I've been, 4 different shows.. loved every minute of all shows 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
We order the rip cake and it was just a circle with gold ribbon with a knife stuck in it. Steak was cooked for 5secs. Extremely rare. Wasn't edible Wait for new show. Show last year was so much better.
I don't give reviews because i don't care. No bullshit here but this show pulled me out of my natural apathy of entertainment overload. This show is like when you were a kid and new stuff was the most amazing thing you have ever seen. It is an absolute treat.
Great cast. Great performance. Great night!
Was amazing loved every minute of it
This show is a must do if you are on the Gold Coast! The talent is next level, the service is amazing and the show, cast and food is on point. We were amazed, wowed and entertained from the time we walked into the car park until we left! Amazing job and a special shout out to our waitress Thing 1 and Thing 2" you are awesome!"
A Spooktacular Night at Dracula’s! From the moment we crept through the ominous entrance of Dracula’s Gold Coast, it was clear we were in for a night of devilish delight! The talented performers brought the undead to life with mesmerizing music, electrifying lights, and a theme so immersive it sent shivers down our spines (in the best way possible!). The atmosphere was dripping with gothic charm, the humor was deliciously wicked, and the energy was downright monstrous! Every act was a feast for the senses—equal parts eerie and exhilarating. If you’re looking for a night of ghoulishly good entertainment, Dracula’s is an absolute fang-tastic experience. A huge thank you to the entire Dracula’s team from the Vanderbilt family! Your dedication to thrills, chills, and killer performances made our night un-boo-lievably special. We’ll be back for another bite soon! 🦇💀🖤
We were pretty disappointed in the seating arrangements was sat side on and next to a bunch of random people could hardly move my arms had to view the show whilst looking into the back of the head of the random person sat beside me that was closer than my partner on the other side of the table orders drinks waited over half hour for drinks but my food came within 5 mins when I asked the staff where my drinks were they told me to chill out were busy" I was about ready to walk out after this luckily they came out 2 mins after this I will admit the food was very good but I probably won't be back again unless the seating was changed as it was an extremely uncomfortable experience"
Excellent night out, would recommend. We had A Reserve but B would be fine I think
Over 20years this would be my fourth time & as always had a great night. The team might change, but the high standards never do. Well done Dracula’s on a perfect night. It was a Valentine’s Date for two and celebrated with Manny. Awesome team > awesome food > top off with a perfect show. If you’re coming to the Gold Coast make time for Dracula’s, you won’t regret it.
My partner and I had the best time. The food & drinks were very tasty and the show was so good!
Excellent show.
Dracula's never disappoints ...the shows the people and staff are always amazing....if you haven't been then do yourself a favour and go 🙂🤘
Brilliant night unlike any other. Will be back when the show changes which I've been told is fortunately quite soon
One of the best nights out we have had. Awesome food, great service and show. Highly recommend
Best show I’ve ever watched, the entire cast is awesome but Aviary and Lady Nightshade killed it. 100/10 will be back.
Brilliant evening really enjoyed the evening and the service. Overall I would recommend the experience to everyone I am 69 and my friend 76 and we think you are all fantastic!!
Took my girlfriend here for valentines day and we both loved it . Amazing atmosphere and show highly recommend
I booked A reserve tix for a group of 7 for my son’s 18th birthday and it was PERFECT! We had such a great time, from blood bag cocktails on arrival to the bar lounge, then live music, great food, a coffin birthday cake, and wow- what a show! The performers were FAB!!!! And the boys absolutely loved the corsets and costumes all of the staff wore. They’re memories are forever scarred in tru best possible way😂 Highly recommend for a birthday group. Now my other son wants his birthday here too 🥳 Plus it’s next door to the casino if you wanna kick on. It’s a great night out, you won’t regret. My only advice would be to dress up like it’s Halloween cos we all just wore all black and in hindsight we could have gone far more over the top👍🏼
Amazing experience
Had a great nice thereee! The show made my night/staycation felt so special. I kinda feel the amount of work, effort and time all the performers put into it. Also all the waiters/waitressee are friendly, efficient and helpful! We spent a bit for the night as drinking but feel like every cent worth spending here! Will be back when you have a new show out.
Amazing dinner and show that never disappoints. Big shout out to our waitress Bambi. You were fantastic! Look forward to returning again for the new show!
The show was fantastic didn't want it to end would go again will be telling everyone I know to go.
Must admit I was concerned for what was a high dollar value for a theatre restaurant, we were greeted with colourful characters, then ushered to a train, then upstairs to a bar, absolutely wonderful, then to our seats, service was excellent, food first class, then the show, singers, dancers, acrobatics stars all performed above expectations. Good to see all employee also had additional duties to do. A fun night of entertainment.
Absolutely amazing experience and made for an absolutely great early anniversary dinner.
Wow what a sensational night family of 5 we were in VIP sat up high front centre of stage the show was fantastic 10/10 food was fabulous we haven’t been for several years but will absolutely come again to the next new show and are telling all our friends how good it was thank you Dracula’s for a memorable fantastic night everyone it’s a must see!!
Such a fun night! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a show. I got A Reserve tickets but if I went again I wouldn't... You get a better view upstairs with the B reserve tickets.
Absolutely loved it. Was great fun
Definately a must do when you are on the gold coast. Complete package was fantastic and the staff that were outside while you were queing were engaging and enthusiastic, all dressed up in theme. Inside the show was great. You should not miss it
Atmosphere was amazing! Service was amazing! Cocktails very much on the sweet side, food was good. The show oh man! The show was absolutely fantastic, the “handler” was so talented singing, playing the guitar and harmonica and very funny. The siren and viper along with Avairy oh my god their performances blew us away they were mesmerising to watch. The main lady singing was just incredible she was a powerhouse!! Best show ever!!
amazing experience highly recommended
I absolutely love coming down to draculas. I go 2 to 3 times a year and each time I notice some thing new. Staff are all so lovely. The new show is amazing.. high praises to all staff, production team, chef ,actors .. well done.
Bloody fantastic night, Staff are brilliant
Morg made our night!!! So much fun
Will definitely go back- we had.a ball
Awesome night, Great food, Great staff. All staff stayed in character. The show times aligned very well with delivery of our food courses creating a seamless experience where we were constantly entertained throughout our night. Our waitress Cadaver was amazing and deserves all the praise, even the other staff members stayed in character all whilst being very helpful. At one stage I was trying to locate a toilet, I nicely asked a waitress where the toilets were and she politely stuck her finger up at me and told me to find the bathroom myself. All is forgiven as you made me laugh. Keep up the act, as this created realism and emersed me in the scene. However I at least expect friendliness from our waitresses who are there to offer a personalized experience and Cadaver offered this well. Thank you also great show!!
Cadaver was our amazing waitress who took care of me and my partner! She also took quite good care of me as I’m pregnant and was not able to drink alcoholic drinks. Best waitress we’ve had so far !
Was an awsome night
Great show, food was excellent and staff took care of us. Highly recommend to go.
Second time!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but the entire experience was awesome. The food was good, the staff and entertainers were fantastic and we had the best time. Highly recommended
Wonderful experience. Fun and entertaining night, with a magical performance.
Have been a couple of times now and have loved it each time. Delicious food with great entertainment and atmosphere. Highly recommend.
It was an amazing experience I loved everything about the show the atmosphere and the awesome stuff I would do it again in a heartbeat the musicians singers and performers were all A grade level and the sound was great as well please come to Melbourne soon
Amazing experience. Fun, engaging and entertaining. Staff were fantastic.
Very high quality production, we were amazed how well-themed the venue was and the amount of talent from all of the performers. They explore different kinds of stage performances and all of them were thrilling, fun, engaging and exciting. Really great night we were super duper impressed at again just how high quality this whole production is. Definitely worth the visit it’s a great night. Also I recommend the big cocktail bucket, it’s 6 drinks for $50!
What a fantastic show 🙌🏼. For the 30 odd years I’ve visited the GC I’ve never been. What I’ve missed out on. Well worth the $$. Awesome dinner, staff & show crew. Highly recommend it.
This was such an awesome experience, the show was incredible, the staff were amazing and the food was delish. 10/10 Dracula’s I’m definitely coming again!!!!
Great night out , highly recommend !!
Feel like hanging with some excellent people in gothic, bloodied attire? Come on down! The show is fun, the performances excellent. The food is great, and the in-character staff are hilarious. You might also end up on stage getting a free drink 😉 Would return in a (lack of) heartbeat.
had an amazing time and the food was fantastic. the cast and crew were excellent. we can't wait to come back again
Have been told to give Dracula's a look by plenty of people but never had until recently. Could not have been more impressed with everything from the start. Great atmosphere, fantastic staff, good food and a ripper of a show. Will be back again.
I had a great time
This was our first time to Dracula’s, it was a bloody fantastic show. Awesome atmosphere. Lady Nightshade and The Handler were spectacular. The artistic performers Viper Aviary and Siren’s routines were breathtaking 🙌 1 and 3 were hilariously entertaining and the Vampirettes were stunning friendly and very helpful. Our Vampirette Athena goddess of war and wisdom (I hope I got her name right) was outstanding in all aspects of the night. Top service delicious food and a spectacular performance. I give this show a 10/10. If you want a great night out with wonderful food and atmosphere then Dracula’s is at the top of my recommendations. We will be back again.
Was an awesome 👌 night
Amazing experience!
If you are in the Gold Coast for any period of time this is a must visit. We booked the A reserve tickets and got amazing value for money. Every moment from the second we entered the waiting area outside until we walked out the doors at the end was engaging, scary and hilarious. We honestly didn’t have the highest of hopes for the food as that wasn’t what we were there for but it was surprisingly delicious, every act was an absolute 10/10 all of the staff and performers were so talented we were completely captivated the entire show. Special shout out to our server Thing, she went above and beyond with being welcoming and attentive, giving us awesome drink recommendations and leaving us laughing with every interaction. We can’t wait to come back.
Best Cabaret experience with top artists. Fantastic event you can’t miss.
An absolutely fantastic night, we went as a large group and the show was unreal, loved every minute ! Definitely a highlight and a must do when visiting the GC !
The staff are all lovely and put on a personality to match the theme of the place. The performances were incredible in terms of the core strength required or the belt of the singer. The set design and costume design were also lovely. I'd highly recommend to at least see it once.
Food, service and atmosphere was great!! The show was very ordinary and amateurish
Have been to Draculas 3 times before with different shows, although the performers were talented and great I thought the show lacked any thought? It seemed like a whole heap of acts that didn’t really work together I also would like to see some of the original Dracula or horror themes back as in its name as a tourist I would expect to see some sort of reference to that! Again was a great night just think it has moved away from the theme that made it what it was and special, would like to see more of the horror Dracula theme back, no disrespect to the performers as they are a very talented group of individuals. And lastly Salem was awesome great waitress and made the night great
The show took a while to start and was a little boring at the start however it just got better as the night went on. The performers were exceptionally good.
After many years of driving past Dracula's and thinking we should go there one day, we finally went. I wasn't sure what to expect. My wife and I took our three grown-up kids there last night; we decided to splurge on the premium ticket option which was well worth it. The food was excellent as was the entertainment. It does set out to shock people and it achieves that aim. I recommend Dracula's as an experience everyone should have at least once.
Had such a great night last night - very entertaining from start to finish - lots of laughs and such talented stage and service staff!
Boring dragged out an hour of showtime to nearly 4 hours
I like the show when was seven years ago now just gone boring
What a great night, everything was absolutely amazing. Special thank you to ‘babydoll’ for being our server all night.
Wow such a great show up there with Las Vegas shows great food and drinks it’s a must see 👹👿☠️👻👌👍🏻
Spectacular! From the very fist second till the end - absolutely pleasant experience. Definitely worth visiting!
The show and the staff is absolutely amazing with great service and unique looks The interaction with the crowd is fun while the singing and professional acrobatic performance is world class
Had a fun night. Didn't really know what to expect, pleasantly surprised. The acts were entertaining, the music excellent & the aerialists are absolutely amazing!! Dinner was really lovely. Cocktails pretty dynamite!
