Bangalow Hotel

At the top end of Bangalow’s main street, Bangalow Hotel is a pub set in a historic building, with broad verandahs, a lounge with an open fire in winter and a bar adjoining a gaming room. It is a straightforward place to meet for a meal, a drink or a game, with a big screen, pool tables, TAB facilities and a function room also available.

The kitchen serves global-style pub food made with local produce, alongside an extensive drinks list. The menu covers small plates, salads, burgers, pasta, seafood, steaks and children’s meals, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices identified on the menu. There is also a rotating craft beer on tap, local and craft beers, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic wine options. The food offering includes options such as Korean-style chicken wings, Vietnamese noodle and tofu salad, creamy pumpkin gnocchi, ginger-battered fish and chips, and char-grilled rump.

Live music and entertainment are scheduled throughout the week, and the venue promotes a welcoming local-pub atmosphere. Its mix of verandah seating, a cosy lounge, games, sport on the big screen and a function room gives it flexibility for casual catch-ups, family meals, groups and solo visitors. Children’s meals include a free ice block. Bangalow Hotel is open every day, at 1 Byron Street, Bangalow, in the Byron Bay region.
