Palace Byron Bay

Jonson Street has no shortage of places to sit with a coffee and watch Byron do its thing. Palace plants itself right in the middle of that foot traffic, which tells you something about its confidence. Without a deep review trail to draw from, the honest read is this: it's a cafe on the main drag, positioned where visibility does some of the work. What it makes of that location, in terms of the cup, the food, and the room, is worth finding out for yourself. Go mid-morning on a weekday if you want a seat without negotiating with the tourist tide. Jonson St fills fast by ten, and the cafes that survive here long-term tend to do so for a reason.

What People Say
So impressed with how modern and lux Palace Byron is. Such a good vibe inside, friendly staff, great sound and screen size, great to seats with space to drinks and food. Certainly up there as one of the nicer Palace cinemas I’ve been too. Would def come back here again.
Good service, delicious popcorn and comfy seats what more could you ask for? I preciously have had an issue with thr drink sizes being too small for what you pay for. However they have recently revamped the menu, The drinks are nearly twice as big, my partner and i got a Blockbuster Combo for 28 bucks which came with x2 Large Drinks and the largest popcorn so as far as cinemas go i feel like thats good value. The seats, while they are comfy, do not cater to taller people. Im not that tall only maybe 5"11 and i found that the head rest, rested more between my shoulder blades while i was sitting straight. So that was a bit of a disappointment. In my area this is a great choice.
An excellent experience all round. Lovely new premises, great local restaurants on the doorstep, great atmosphere, easy access and plenty of local free street parking (I’m happy to walk 200m rather than pay the incompetent Byron Shire for parking on their pothole ridden streets 😡!), very clean, and the movie was sold out but I had no problem finding my seat. Great sound and comfort. I signed up to become a Member and I will be back often!!!
Extremely disappointed with our experience tonight. The entire film was ruined by three rows of young lads who were noisy, disruptive, and completely disrespectful throughout — talking, shouting, and making noise for almost the whole movie. It was chaotic from the very beginning, and after the first 15 minutes in the previews I went down to let staff know what was happening. I spoke with who appeared to be a supervisor or manager on shift, explained that they were already causing a disturbance and would likely ruin the whole film for everyone unless staff intervened. Despite this, nothing was done for the rest of the screening. The noise continued through the entire last hour of the film, making it impossible to focus or enjoy the movie. It’s really disappointing that the staff didn’t take any action — even after being warned early on — and it feels like paying customers were completely ignored. We left feeling frustrated and let down. I understand staff can’t control every customer, but when an entire section of the cinema is being disruptive and complaints are made early, some action should absolutely be taken. Only visiting Byron for a weekend, not the experience we wanted to have or anyone should deserve to have.
Excellent staff .. only two women, but we're on hyper drive, to get everyone into their movie on time. Choc top ice creams.. to die for delicious! clean cinema with comfy seats.. 👌 top rate
