“Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.” Plautus
A luxury holiday in Byron Bay doesn’t need to be all remote beaches and hiding in the hinterland. Although, we understand if that’s all you want to do.
For those who are up to a little socialising in relaxing surrounds, we’ve selected some of the best bars in Byron Bay that offer a unique experience or preach the local vibe with a sense of sophistication. We hope you’ll enjoy.

Byron Bay Brewery

A microbrewery and leafy beer garden with live entertainment just out of the main centre of Byron Bay. Refreshing, unique craft beers straight from the tanks. Byron Bay Brewery is a place with a tale and part of Byron’s local history.

With the warm weather and year-round humidity, it’s not hard to cool down here with a refreshing pale ale or bold, bitter lager.
