Stone & Wood Brewery Byron Bay
Byron Bay · Nightlife & Bars
(879 reviews)
The Pacific Ale was born here. Stone & Wood's Byron Bay brewery is the source — the place where the hazy, tropical-forward beer that became shorthand for a certain kind of Australian summer was first brewed. The taproom at Centennial Circuit sits within the working brewery itself, which means you're drinking fresh from the tank in a way that most venues can only gesture at. Expect a relaxed, industrial-meets-warehouse setting, cold pints poured properly, and a food offering that holds its own without trying to compete with the beer. It draws a broad crowd — locals on a Friday knock-off, curious visitors who've been drinking the cans all week and want to see where they come from. Go on a weekday if you want elbow room. The brewery tour is worth factoring into your visit.

What People Say
Have long awaited to tick this off my bucket list and was so glad to have finally made it here. Loved that there were many options of seating both inside and outside. The decor is very industrial chic and all beers are well displayed. There are 2 options of paddles for tasting experiences either 3 or 5. I of course tried the 5 paddle experience. My favourite was the Wilderness - Honey Cream Ale - WOW. We also opted to have some lunch here. Just your usual easy options of fish tacos and chicken tenders.
Great spot for a drink, but a better spot for a tour! The drinks menu is varied and in my opinion the beers are notably better fresh from the tap, so you’re onto a winner if you’re just out for a drink. The building is pretty grand and there’s loads of room, but it’s located on the industrial estate and thus a little far out from most places. That however, is because the best way to treat a trip here is to do the tour and settle in for a few hours, and get some snacks whilst you’re there!
Stone & Wood Brewery in Byron Bay is an awesome place to relax and enjoy great food and even better beer. The atmosphere is chilled and welcoming, with plenty of space to sit back and enjoy the Byron Bay vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was quick even though it was busy. The beers are fresh and full of flavour, and the food menu has something for everyone. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends, bring the family, or just unwind after a day exploring Byron. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area – we’ll definitely be back again.
Beers itself are excellent, nice choices. The brewery looks amazing and although we didn’t get a tour, it’s fascinating to see the inside. One comment about the staff, they were not customer friendly- especially the blonde woman serving us, impatient and dismissive, seemed like she didn’t want to be there and super short in her answers. As a bar manager I would have had a conversation with her about this, but of course could just be an off day. Other staff seemed more interested in whipping each other with towels and cliquey in a smug way (customers appeared as a hindrance instead of a means of business). This kind of let the place down. Some smiles would be nice
Did the brewery tour and absolutely loved it. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable about everything, tasted loads of different types of beer and it was just great vibes! Really recommend
More Nightlife & Bars in Byron Bay
Railway Friendly Bar
Byron Bay
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.
Hotel Brunswick
Brunswick Heads
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.
Ember Byron Bay
Byron Bay
A bar on Jonson Street's main drag, Ember is positioned where Byron's nightlife actually happens. Central enough to anchor an evening or extend one. Best assessed on a quieter night when the strip isn't at full volume.
Loft Byron Bay
Byron Bay
One of the more affordable bars on Jonson Street, Loft sits above the main strip with a late-night crowd and unpretentious energy. If Byron's pricier cocktail scene isn't what you're after, this is a reasonable alternative in a central location.
