Stone & Wood Brewery Byron Bay

We have been loyal customers for years, returning not only for the beers but, more importantly, for the absolutely incredible food menu. Today, we were told that the menu had changed due to having partnered with a new kitchen. Instead of the most flavoursome cauliflower poppers and a mouth-watering veggie burger at a reasonable price, we were served four pieces of flatbread with dips and two pieces of tacos (Tacos alone were $22). The veggie tacos consisted of some shredded cabbage, oven-baked potato, a small amount of avocado, and pickled onions - stripped of the flavour explosion we once knew. It also leaves us wondering where the value or justification for margin is coming from. I understand that times are tough, but significantly reducing effort and quality while increasing prices feels like a slap in the face, especially for returning customers. Feeling let down doesn’t even begin to describe it. Please bring back the old menu.

This is a great spot to include in your family day trip itinerary—especially if you're exploring around Byron Bay. It's a place where you come for the vibe as much as the drinks. There’s a wide variety of beers available, and you can sample them on site. If you find one you like, you can even take some home. Overall, it’s a really nice place to relax and take a break along your journey!
