Best & Cool Bars in Lismore City Council

"Food and coffee combine with absolute grace in one of Byron Bay’s primary foodie destinations. You may feel like you’ve walked into one of the Bay’s coolest bars but it’s actually a whole-food café/restaurant with a menu reflecting the best of what’s in-season and on-trend. The need to queue for a table just gives visitors more time to browse the full list of coffees and cocktails on offer, alongside the Instagram-ready breakfasts, brunches and lunches."

"People who used to serve up coffee at Top Shop run another popular coffee shop in Byron Bay. At night, The Roadhouse becomes a whisky bar, but during the day it serves Byron Bay organic coffee among other pick-me-ups. Where to find The Roadhouse: 6/142 Bangalow Rd., Byron Bay"

"Back to Byron Bay town itself now and we find ourselves at Loft. As its name implies, this is an upstairs venue that looks down to the bustling Jonson Street below (it’s a few doors down from Miss Margarita) and is an upmarket establishment with lashings of natural light, wood and white furniture that exude the typical beachside Byron lifestyle. You’re welcome day or night, although be warned, past 9 pm the menu changes to snacks and nibbles."

"Located just off Main Beach, the bar has an elevated terrace so you can look out over famous Jonson Street while you relax with friends. This is one of the newest bars in Byron Bay, with a seaside ambience and contemporary Australian food menu which includes a popular weekend brunch."

"The best way to get to this great local hangout is to walk from Byron Bay’s Main Beach out toward the Wreck (local surf spot) and keep heading south to Belongil Beach. Take our tip and leave just before sunset and it will take you twenty minutes to walk to the Treehouse while the sun is setting, colouring the sky with rainbow hues. When you arrive you just have to cross the road to this retro bar and indulge in late afternoon bevvies."

"The Belongil offers beautiful coffee and generous breakfasts. Located in the beachside suburb of Belongil, in Byron Bay, known for its tranquility, undeveloped landscape and beach. Open for brunch: 7am – 2pm."

"Popular hotspot The Mez Club is the breezy bar Byron has longed for with a trendy Mediterranean design and vacation ambiance. Upstairs has been skillfully developed to cater for groups, leaving downstairs for couples as well as pals to laze by the floor-to-ceiling windows flung open to allow the balmy winds and also forage on tapas. Happy hour is leisurely, from 3pm to 5pm on a daily basis and includes local favourites Ink or Brookie’s G&T s for the ultimate sunset sips."

"Should you be basking under the Mediterranean sun right now?. A night at the Mez Club, and trust us: that overseas trip is all but forgotten. The Mez Club is a sensory experience, which will transport you across Europe, Morocco and the Middle East."

"The Rails is what the locals affectionately call The Railway Hotel. The best thing about it is that the railway stopped coming through town about fifteen years ago, but we so loved our local pub that it’s remained open for business. There is a beer garden that spills out onto the car park, plus a cute little public bar that still sits on the dysfunctional railway platform."

"The Rails sure smells like a beer-stained pub, and its indoor-outdoor mayhem draws everyone from lobster-red British tourists to high-on-life earth mothers and #okboomer tourists. The front beer garden –..."

"Known more colloquially as simply The Rails, this rough-and-rambunctious staple of Byron’s renowned music scene is one of our favorite bars on the planet."

"St. Elmo Dining Room & Bar serves up contemporary Spanish tapas dishes perfect to share with that special someone. The innovative, ever-changing menu is inspired by the region’s fresh and flavoursome produce. Plus, with more than 100, carefully curated bottles of wine, St. Elmo offers one of the finest culinary experiences in their relaxed yet intimate dining room."

"Influenced by the tables of Spain where food is made to be shared, St Elmo Dining Room & Bar brings all things to all people in Byron Bay. Located on the corner of Fletcher Street and Lawson Lane, thi... Order OnlineRequest Booking"

"Locura is your late-night hideaway and Byron’s best club for lovers of dance music. The quality drinks list is a micro mecca for tequila and mescal, however music is at Locura’s core, curated by Jono Ma (of Jagwar Ma fame). Look carefully and you’ll spot renowned Klipschorn speakers; designed in the 1940s this sexy sound system was made famous at the Loft nightclub in New York during the disco era."

"This late-night bar is known for its dance music and industrial design. Locura has a quality drinks list heavy in tequila and mezcal, combined with a tapas-style food menu that ranges from pork tacos to ceviche. What really draws crowds though is Locura’s music, collated by renowned producer Jono Ma, which morphs from disco to jazz, soul and deep house at the weekends."

"The folk from Three Blue Ducks opened Locura ('madness' in Spanish), a sleek and sophisticated alternative to Byron's backpacker nightspots. Get your late night techno/DJ fix with a host of guests curated by..."

"The Northern is a great hang out in the centre of town, any time of the day or night. A great place to kick off your first beers of the day on the sidewalk, or in the front bar that opens onto the sidewalk. This pub is what Australia is famous for when it comes to great “counter meals”, lunch and dinner ordered at the bar at a reasonable price."

"Often overlooked by tourists, Belongil Beach is a 2.5km stretch of sand between the mouth of Belongil Creek in the west and the seawall and Byron Bay car park further east. It’s a much quieter alternative to Byron Bay’s Main Beach (see below), which makes Belongil Beach suitable for families, and also dog owners. In 1921, a 2K ton passenger steamship named Wollongbar stranded in the surf right in front of Belongil Beach."

"Belongil Beach is the first northerly beach and is about a one km walk north of Main Beach, it is a consistent beach good for all levels of surfing ability. It works best on a south easterly swell with an off-shore southerly or south westerly wind. It’s a quieter beach than some others which is good for beginners when the waves are small."

"Northwest of the town centre, wild Belongil Beach has high dunes and avoids the worst of the crowds. It's clothing-optional in parts. At its eastern end is the Wreck, a powerful right-hand surf break."

"For over a century, the elegant Cape Byron Lighthouse has graced Australia's most easterly point. Its powerful lamp...More.

"Located south of Cape Byron in Arakwal National Park, Tallow Beach is a very long stretch of sand that connects with Broken Head further south. Lighthouse Road, which leads to the Byron Bay Lighthouse, provides excellent views of Tallow Beach. The northern tip of this beach, also known as the Cosy Corner, is another popular surfing hot spot with surf breaks that are protected from the northerly winds."

"Running from Cape Byron to Broken Head, Tallow Beach is a picturesque ocean beach known for its clean surf breaks. Fringed by Arakawal National Park, Tallow Beach is popular with swimmers, surfers and body boarders. Walkers, sunbathers and beachcombers are also drawn to Tallow and dot the long sandy foreshore."

"Tallow Beach spans all the way from Cosy Corner to the beginning of Suffolk Park. It offers both right and left hand waves depending on the swell direction. Tip: Cosy Corner is one of the few breaks protected from the dreaded northerlies."
