Since I had been all over Ballina the previous day, I decided to jump on a bus and go for a little…read moretrek. Well, that trek sent me up here were I discovered this rather quaint sea-side pub. Actually, it is a little more than quaint. In fact it seemed to have been recently renovated. However, it was quite nice, and the staff were also pretty cool. Oh, and they had some decent beers on tap, which is something that always grabs my attention.

After leaving Cheeky Monkey we saw Woody's and were immediately intrigued by the signage. No cover…read moreto get in and cool people chilling inside. They have a pool table and different beers along with cool art/pics on the walls. The night we were there the DJ was spinning some good music and it wasn't that full so we were able to share a couch with another group of people who we ended up being quick friends with. Unfortunately, this was also the night of the day the earthquake in Chirstchurch, NZ happened, so that kind of put a damper in the night since we were headed there after Byron. Either way, if I'm ever in Byron again, this will definitely be at the top of my "places to go" list. The vibe is just what you'd expect from a beach city.

Best club in Byron bay. Long lines to the bar and always spilled drinks on the floor. However, this…read moreplace is always bumping when open. Staff is friendly and fast. Definitely find a younger crowd here.

The service is good, but when it's busy the food can take some time to arrive. It's best to arrive early. I've found the staff to be friendly and prices to be about average for a pub in the area.

This pub was pretty cool. In fact it was probably one of the better pubs in Lismore. In fact I'd be…read moretempted to say the best, if it wasn't for the fact that they didn't have any craft beers on tap. Still, this place was pretty cool, though I found the staff to be a little sharp at times. However, they do have a pretty nice area out the back, though the ashtrays on the tables do indicate that it is mainly for the smokers. Still, I did quite like this place, and it was open Sundays as well.

On a fine eve on saint Patrick's day, I browse and roam the…read morestreets of Byron bay looking for a fine pint of Guinness, as any man would on saint Patrick's day. That's when I stumbled upon the Railway Friendly Bar. When I went to the bar, to my surprise, I noticed a Guinness logo on a couple of the glasses in the mini fridge. Boy was I excited. Naturally I asked for a pint of Guinness, now when you ask for a Guinness at some random hipster pub in Australia obviously I'm not expecting much. But this was atrocious. The moment the bar tender started the poor, I knew my tastebuds where doomed. This is by far the worst pint of Guinness I've ever had in my life, and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst of enemies. If your looking for a good pint of G. The rails is not the place.

This is probably by far my favourite pub in Byron. I guess it has a lot to do with it being in the…read moreold railway station, and there is also somewhat of a suggestion that maybe, just maybe, they would like the railway reinstated. Anyway, as a pub it is pretty cool, and there are some awesome craft beers on tap as well, but then again that is something that I have come to expect from Byron Bay. Oh, and there is a pretty large outdoor area, but then again it is the old railway station, so indoors isn't all that big.

What an excellent view whilst having lunch. We did pop in yesterday to make a booking so that we…read moregot a window table today. Two of us went for the light lunch with calamari.....very nice and a good size. Our other diners went for the blue eyed cod and fish & chips. They were suitably fed too. We drank the local beers and they were good. The service was attentive too. Parking can be a problem so go for an early time.

Is there anything better than a pub sitting on a cliff overlooking the beach? Probably, but a lazy…read moreSunday afternoon sipping bubbles whilst you watch the waves crash against the shore is pretty darn good. The Pacific Hotel which sits just above Main Beach in Yamba is one of those country town gems that has the best local feel. There's a bar in the front and a bistro in the back with a main stage in the corner where bands from all around the Northern Rivers come on various days, check their website if coming to see some live music is your thing. Or if you're like me and just want to have a relaxing lunch overlooking the ocean grab a seat in the bistro. All the tables are by the giant glass windows which overlook the cliffs and beach. There's a great bistro menu with classic pub fare as well as fresh seafood from the area (oysters from Wooli and fish from Yamba). The food is great. I had the salt and pepper squid which was tender and fresh, Dad has a steak sandwich which was cooked perfectly on turkish bread (a nice light alternative if you want my opinion) and Mum had pork skewers (an entree but came out the size of a main). Topping off the food I had sticky date pudding for dessert which was the only thing that was a slightly let down. Great flavour but a little dry, thankfully there was plenty of butterscotch sauce and ice cream to remedy that. The fact that the food and service are great is just the tip of the iceberg with this pub. You really want to just come for the view. Any day it's going to be great, rain or sunshine.

Well, that wasn't the case with me as I just came here for a beer, but the staff were pretty cool with that so I'd have to give them some credit. It's a nice little place out of the way of most of the action that happens around Byron Bar, and it is also rather quiet, meaning that I can just sit here and relax. Mind you, they do have table service, which is something slightly different.
