Gold Coast

Maple & Ash

Maple & Ash is launching a Late Night Happy Hour, designed to keep the energy and celebratory feel of their Gold Coast dining room going into the wee hours of the night. Returning to the pre-COVID MO where established restaurants were places to kick off or cap off the night, Maple is rolling out a late night deal EVERY NIGHT in its ground floor bar from 9pm to 11pm, featuring heavy pour cocktails (from their Tales of the Cocktail honored list) and select wines for $15. Think highballs, music, and Maple’s hospitality.
