The Best Bar in Byron Bay, North Coast

Background Illustration for Nightlife

For a small town, Byron rocks by night. Fire dancing—where bare-chested men dance with flaming torches—is a local specialty. Bars and clubs are generally open until about 2 am on weekends and midnight on weekdays.

Arts Factory Village

Head to this legendary complex—also known as the Piggery—to catch a movie at the Pighouse Flicks, grab a bite, have a beer brewed at the on-site Byron Bay Brewery, or see a live band at the Buddha Bar. A Nomads backpackers lodge is attached to the venue, so expect a lively crowd especially at the weekly talent show.
