Byron Bay
Casa Luna
A Latin-inflected bar on Fletcher Street with a name that promises warmth and late nights. It sits in good company on one of Byron's more reliable after-dark strips. Walk in without a plan and see where it takes you.

Brunswick Heads$$
Hotel Brunswick
The pub Brunswick Heads actually drinks at. Cold beer, no-fuss food, and a front bar that hasn't tried to become something else. In a town that's resisted the Byron creep, the Brunswick Hotel is a big part of why.

North Byron Hotel
Away from the main strip on Bayshore Drive, North Byron Hotel is the affordable, unpretentious option for people who actually live here. Cold beer, no dress code, prices that make sense. The kind of pub Byron needs more of.

Byron Bay$$
Railway Friendly Bar
A Jonson Street pub that's been holding its ground while Byron reinvented itself around it. Cold beers, mixed crowd, no attitude. The kind of place where locals and visitors end up at the same bar stool without anyone making it weird.

Byron Bay$$
The Balcony Bar & Oyster Co.
Oysters and cold drinks on a balcony above Lawson Street. This is Byron's raw bar in the most literal sense: elevated, unfussy, and well-positioned for watching the evening unfold below. Mid-range pricing makes it an easy yes for a pre-dinner drink that turns into two.

The Mez Club | Cocktail Bar | Restaurant | Byron Bay
Mezcal cocktails and mezze plates on Jonson Street, priced for a proper night rather than a casual one. The concept sits somewhere between cocktail bar and Middle Eastern restaurant. Worth a visit when you want somewhere with a bit more intent than the average Byron strip.

Mullumbimby$
The Middle Pub
Rooms above a working pub on Burringbar Street, in the middle of Mullumbimby's main strip. The most affordable way to actually sleep in Mullum rather than drive in from somewhere else. No frills, but the farmers market is walkable.
