Why it's worth checking out
Beach Hotel is a Byron Bay pub with a beachfront setting, a restaurant and bar, live music, and an adjoining resort. The venue sits across from Main Beach, with food and drinks designed for relaxed meals and drinks by the ocean. The site describes the kitchen as serving fresh local flavours, seafood and pub classics, while the bar focuses on craft beers, classic cocktails and other refreshing drinks.
The atmosphere is built around a mix of open-air and entertainment spaces. Guests can sit in the beachfront beer garden beneath the umbrellas, or choose a position with a view of the main stage when live music is on. The pub promotes regular gigs and provides a gig guide, making it a natural choice for visitors looking to pair a drink or meal with live entertainment rather than simply having a quiet pub stop.
The drinks programme includes local brews, rotating beer specials and cocktails. The website has featured Tooheys New and Old as a beer-of-the-month promotion, along with Stone & Wood schooners including Pacific Ale, Hinterland Hazy, Citrus Radler, Easy Pale and NRB. Its listed cocktail promotions have included espresso martinis, classic margaritas and pornstar martini slushies. As promotions change, it is worth checking the current listings before visiting.
For groups, parties under 30 are walk-in only, while bookings are available for groups of 30 to 40 at 12pm or 4pm for three-hour sittings. Larger groups can request the beer garden or an area near the main stage; a deposit is required and is returned on the day as a food and beverage voucher. The kitchen is listed as open daily from 11am to 8.30pm, while the hotel trades from late morning into the evening, with later closing times on Fridays and Saturdays. Beach Hotel Resort also offers accommodation for visitors wanting to stay in central Byron Bay near the beach.
