Mullumbimby's town pub has rooms upstairs, and that alone makes it worth knowing about. The Middle Pub sits on Burringbar Street in the heart of Mullum, one of the few genuinely affordable places to stay in the Northern Rivers without driving to a highway motel. The vibe is pub-adjacent in the best sense: no wellness retreat theatre, no linen menus, just a straightforward bed close to the main strip, the farmers market, and the coffee shops that make this town worth the detour from Byron. At a budget price point, expectations should be set accordingly, but for anyone wanting to actually sleep in Mullumbimby rather than commute to it, this is the practical answer. Book directly and ask about room options.
Everything about the place was amazing. But the Béarnaise sauce in the salmon tasted like chemicals. We tried to tell the kitchen and they said “that’s just what the Bearnaise sauce taste like”. Everyone at our table tasted it and it tasted a lot like draino or some other kind of chemical cleaning agent. Never tasted anything so wrong. All other food options were great and the place is super cool, just don’t get the Bearnaise sauce cos it’s poison.
I come for dinner as it's cheap and often delicious. the food is always perfect and the staff are incredible. They are genuinely so sweet and deserve a shout out. If you need a quick (my meal took under 10 minutes), affordable and friendly meal, come to mullum pub!
I ate lunch at this pub yesterday with my family. We eat there at least once a month. When being served by the very tall foreigner guy at the till in the bistro, he forgot to ask for my members card, and l forgot to show it. When l mentioned it he just shrugged his shoulders and said “Oh well”. When l sat down l realised it was nearly $10 as there was 6 of us. So l went to the bar to see if l could redeem the points or something, and he came over to me from the bistro and said how much is it and you don’t need to complain. I said l haven’t even spoken to anyone. With that he went to the till and threw $10 at me. And the look he gave me was actually scary. It was nothing short of a death stare. With a smirk that was sinister. Very smug and over the top rude. When the lunch came out mine wasn’t there and by the time l got it, it was cold and my son had to ask for it and it was sitting on the bench. He took the buzzer of me when my family got their lunch and then never bothered to give me a sign that it was ready nor bring it over. Very rude man. My lunch was dreadful by the time l got it, and my family where finished eating. So obviously he deliberately did it and absolutely ruined my day. The bar staff their are awesome, always have been. But unfortunately after this incident, we won’t eat there again. Never in my life have l had anyone give me a dirty look like that bloke. It was something that even words can’t describe.

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
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.

They charge a fortune for accommodation which just is not worth it.The rooms are crappy, not clean and with uncomfortable beds. They placed me in a room where there was a DJ outside the window, people dancing and drinking and no curtains or blinds so I couldn’t change clothes without the crowd seeing me. On a Friday night they do karaoke til late, they don’t tell you that when you book. So we were awake for ages when all we wanted to do was sleep. Upon arrival the owner gave me attitude during the check in process because a staff member made a mistake. My recommendation is to just avoid this place altogether!! - We will never come to this establishment again.
Possible the best value meal on the whole of the East Coast of Australia. All meals, ( and plenty to choose from) $22 for non Pub members, or $20 if your are member. Very good Pub Grub.

Mezcal cocktails and mezze plates on Jonson Street, priced for a proper night rather than a casual one. The concept sits somewhere between cocktail bar and Middle Eastern restaurant. Worth a visit when you want somewhere with a bit more intent than the average Byron strip.
