Jonson Street's go-to for a proper night out without the tourist-trap markup. The Northern sits at the centre of Byron's main strip and makes no apology for it, drawing a crowd that ranges from locals finishing a long week to visitors who've figured out where the town actually drinks. Live music, a solid bar programme, and enough room to move make it a reliable anchor for an evening that might end anywhere. The price point is reasonable by Byron standards, which matters more than it used to. No reviews to mine for specifics, so go in with open expectations and a willingness to see what's on. Check their schedule before you show up.

Haven’t been here for years and it hasn’t changed a bit thankfully. A classic Aussie pub with great vibes, cheap drinks and good food. Staff are awesome, cricket was on and the outside area is great for people watching. Def a must visit when in Byron Bay. Highly recommend this joint!

My review is limited to my experience of a few drinks whilst thoroughly enjoying the piano bar whilst visiting Byron Bay. Absolutely a highlight of our trip. Duelling pianists and the crowd singing along with every tinkle of the ivories. Such a great vibe and well controlled environment thanks to the staff.

I went there twice for the piano bar and it was Amazing. Such a fun environment. Drinks were great, and the environment was also incredible with everyone singing along with the pianists and you get to put in requests for songs.

Stone & Wood Brewery Byron Bay
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.
Loft Byron Bay
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.
