History of Esquire
Esquire by Cooper’s Hawk is located in the stunning Art-Deco inspired Esquire building that was first erected to house the Esquire Theater in 1937. For almost 70 years, the Esquire Theater was an iconic landmark in the Gold Coast until it was converted to a restaurant. In 2019 Cooper's took over the space, evolving it to the spectacular 3 story experience it is today.
