Fun times at Woody's! The bar, the danceflo', the comfy booths (well, I never sat in them, since I…read morewas always getting my groove on, but they appeared comfy!) Some nights, they pump 90's hip hop, which completes my life. They have a super fantastic photographer, all the photos after Woody's nights get posted on their Facebook page. There are pool tables for those who want a break from dancing, and tables around the perimeter if you want to set your drink down and chat loudly. But really, hit the dance floor, I say! Have a great time, but be aware that all of Byron has these new rules now, where bars cannot serve shots, pitchers, or certain drinks anymore... I know, but that's the way it is! Just have some cider, or their beer, and enjoy yourself!

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.

I came for lunch on a warm day so was happy to find indoor seating beyond the shaded seats outside that had been snapped up. The menu is standard pub food to which I chose the sirloin steak. I liked the option of picking two sides to add variety to the usual chips and salad. I loved the mushroom gravy however the steak wasn't amazing. Not overcooked to my medium request but tough and not all that flavoursome. My partner thought the beer was on the pricey side but I was relieved to find the only place so far that could accomodate a simple order of coke. Bottled not canned. We both liked the new order/payment system no doubt spurred on by the impacts of COVID. My partner ordered and paid online. Hassle free with a confirmation SMS that also let us know there would be a 30 minute wait.

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.

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.

A part of me felt that maybe there would be more pubs in Byron Bay, but then when I come to think…read moreabout it there probably are more pubs here than what a town of a similar size would have. This one, well, this one really doesn't fall into the category of Byron's best pubs, but then again there are some really hard acts to follow in this regard. The pub itself wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't one of the best.

This was a great find and I'm so glad we made the little journey off the main BB drag to get there…read more The space itself is very impressive - when you walk in, its all big chrome casks where they brew their beers. Loads of space and tables to sit at, with a big bar area towards the back. Selection of beers was decent - 6 or 7 of their staples, a few pales, couple of IPA's, couple of lagers etc. I went for a paddle of 4, the red was ok, the dark lager was surprisingly good and the two IPA's (especially the Lively) were lush. The 3 of us (including our 9 month old lad) went for burgers - which is the only food option, apart from sides etc. Thankfully, the lack of choice wasn't an issue as the burgers were DEE LISH US. I had the Ozzie Osborne (+ extra egg on Jean Francois' advice - more on him later), Em had the Jimmy Hen Chicks (clever) with the dude having a mini grilled chicken burger. They were perfectly made burgers - beautifully cooked, with soft, brioch-y buns and lovely toppings. The beetroot relish on mine was an absolute standout, and the egg addition was inspired! The chips were great too - topped with sour cream, bacon and spring onions. Accompanied by some locally made chilli sauce, the whole eating experience was superb. Now the service. Our experience so far in Oz has been one of genuinely friendly service. But this place was next level, mainly down to Jean Francois who is a genuinely lovely bloke. He was so kind to Asa (our son), talked us through where the baby change etc was and talked me through the beers, and we had a great chat about him, his Christmas trip to the Devon and his kids. He really did make the trip here unforgettable, and left a great impression. Overall a great place to visit with some lovely beers, food and friendly staff!

Initially, we came for the beer but the draw here is really the music and food. This is also a popular place for live music! An outdoor stage features live bands frequently. When the stage is empty, they play an eclectic mix of fine tunes on their great stereo system. Third, and most impressive, BBB is a destination for casual satisfying food! Highly recommend the bowls, especially enjoy the Asian and burrito bowls. They're in the midsts of a rebranding, which is probably a good move because overall the place feels tired. Indoor and outside seating.

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.

The tour is great value. $35pp which covered 1 1/2 hours of beer history, ingredient knowledge, a walk through the brewery and plenty of taste testers. I honestly can't believe how generous the drinks were. Starting with a cheeky 10am schooner to break the ice, followed by 2 middies and ending with 1/2 a paddle. Safe to say I was feeling very relaxed and before we knew it it was 2pm! The brewery has a great atmosphere in general and our guide for the day Mike was awesome. Very chilled which maybe is how he looks so good. No way he is 40!! We came back the next day to pick up some beers to enjoy poolside at our B&B (sneaking in a garden ale and refreshing seltzer before we left). The seltzer is also gluten free, vegan and low sugar. Returning a third time to get some gifts to bring home for family. I would highly recommend a visit when in Byron Bay. The ethos of this business is something we can all strive for. A place that embraces its community and in turn the community has embraced it.
