The pub that Brunswick Heads actually drinks at. Hotel Brunswick sits on Mullumbimbi Street doing what a good local hotel should: cold beer, straightforward food, and a front bar that doesn't try too hard. The kitchen runs casual — expect the kind of menu that makes sense after a day at the river mouth, priced for regulars rather than weekenders. The crowd reflects the town: families at the early tables, locals settling in for the long haul by seven. Brunswick Heads has largely avoided the Byron spillover effect, and the Brunswick Hotel is part of why the town still feels like itself. No reservations drama, no concept. Just a pub doing its job well in a town that still has room for one.
Actually we didn't stay for dinner. We booked a table and asked the lady at the bar who told us the table number, pointing in the direction. The table was full of empty glasses and bottles and wet from spills and no seats. We had to chase up our own chairs. We hung for 30 minutes or so and were going to order food but it didn't seem pleasant with about 8 or more empty glasses and bottles in front of us and a constant line to the bar right beside us. We went to the Japanese restaurant next door though and had an absolutely beautiful meal, wonderful service and great wine. Would definitely go back there!! We saw a band the night before at this venue and that was fun. Great spot for music, not so great for nice dinner on a quiet Sunday arvo.. band and place were going off. But if booking a table for dinner one would expect a clean table and some chairs. Maybe I am just too fussy though, granted we could have just sat on the ground and eaten our food from the pavers.
One of our favourite Pubs to catch up with family and friends when we come to Bruns. The food is always so good and cocktails are next level. Great spacious area and plenty good spots to dine or sit while enjoying the view. Highly recommend coming here. The entertainment is always fantastic too! The Staff are the best!👌🏾

Byron Bay
The birthplace of Pacific Ale, Stone & Wood's Byron taproom pours fresh from the tank inside the working brewery. Industrial setting, cold beer done right, and a crowd that spans Friday knock-offs to curious out-of-towners tracing the source of their favourite can.

Byron Bay
Uninterrupted views across Main Beach, cold beers on tap, and a beer garden that fills up fast on Friday afternoons. The Beach Hotel is Byron's reliable big-pub option: broad menu, mid-range prices, and a crowd that runs from post-surf families to long-session locals.

Great vibes, great music, great arvo spot Hotel Brunswick was just… really good. One of those places where you walk in and instantly know you’re going to have a good time. There are multiple outdoor areas, which is perfect for a relaxed afternoon, and when we were there, they had a live band playing—and they were actually good (not just background noise you try to ignore). It really added to the atmosphere. The food was solid, the drinks were flowing, and it’s the kind of place I could easily see myself settling into for a few hours with my husband Hugh and some friends—just grazing, sipping, and enjoying the music. I also noticed they’ve got some great bands coming up, which makes it even more appealing to come back. Such an easy, enjoyable pub to spend time at. I’ll definitely be back soon.
Great pub with some of the best live music gigs in the area. Awesome vibe and people too. Kids friendly area at the back with decent little playground. Can get a bit loud for small kids when live music is on.
My friend and I, along with his two children, decided to have a spontaneous night out at the lovely Brunswick Hotel last night. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We found the children’s options on the menu disappointing, as the range felt quite limited. Since it was ‘Steak Night’, the adults ordered the 'sirloin steak'. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up with table numbers and my meal was accidentally given to someone else, so I ended up waiting quite a while. In the past, the payment system seemed to be simpler, purchase food at the kitchen purchase drinks at the bar...? By the time my meal arrived, everyone else had already nearly finished. When the steak did come out, it was the toughest 'sirloin' I’ve ever been served, so full of sinew that I could barely chew it! My friend also commented that his was very tough as well. We’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere at the Brunswick Hotel, and we appreciate the friendly staff, but we were disappointed with the meals on this occasion. We hope this feedback is helpful, as it’s a venue we’ve enjoyed in the past and would love to enjoy again.
Byron Bay
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.
