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.

Byron Bay$
Loft 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.

Byron Bay$
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.

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.

Byron Bay$$
The Northern
Jonson Street's most reliable night-out anchor. Live music, a workable bar, and a crowd that mixes locals with clued-in visitors. Reasonable by Byron standards, which is saying something. Check what's on before you arrive.
