On the Gold Coast (aka Surfers Paradise) in Queensland, Australia, there is a real life multi-level night-club called "Cocktails and Dreams" which was named after the one in Cocktail (1988). The picture's Australian co-star, Bryan Brown, is from Australia. The later tele-movie comedy Cocktails & Dreams (2015) starred three actors from Cocktail (1988), they being Bryan Brown, Lisa Banes, and Gina Gershon, who played the characters of The Australian Guy, The Art Lady, and Girl No. #1 respectively, their names all reflective in some way of their characters in Cocktail (1988). Cocktails & Dreams (2015) was made and first broadcast about twenty-seven years after Cocktail (1988).
