Oysters and a balcony view over Lawson Street: this is Byron's version of a proper bar. The Balcony Bar & Oyster Co. sits above the street-level buzz, which gives it a remove from the tourist foot traffic below without losing the energy. The format is simple: fresh oysters, cold drinks, and a perch worth lingering on. Pricing sits in the mid-range, reasonable enough for a round or two without commitment. No reviews to draw on yet, but the combination of raw bar and elevated outdoor seating fills a genuine gap in Byron's bar scene. Come at sunset when the light hits the street below and the crowd thins just enough. Book ahead on weekends.

Came here for Christmas Day with my husband and had the three course menu. All the food was lovely, extremely tasty and very good portion sizes. The staff were friendly and polite and made us feel festive. I tried two cocktails too, which were both very good. I felt the price was reasonable. Would recommend!

Great place to enjoy drinking at Byron! I stopped there and really liked the vibe. It’s right in the middle of town and the balcony seats are perfect for people-watching and relaxing. I went during Happy Hour, so drinks were super affordable — especially the cocktails. Such a good spot to chill with a drink after walking around the town. The staff were friendly and the whole place felt easy-going and welcoming. Great for solo travelers too. Definitely worth checking out if you want a relaxed drink in Byron Bay.

More Nightlife & Bars in Byron Bay
North Byron Hotel
Byron Bay
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.
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.
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.
