Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Byron Bay

"Just down the road from Byron at Byron, the Roadhouse is always buzzing. Recently under new management, the team at the Roadhouse serve delicious Allpress Coffee and pastries, brekkie rolls, hearty porridge and other breakfast goodies in the morning. In winter it is really nice to grab a table inside by the fire, but on warmer days there are plenty of big tables outside in the sun under the tress."

"From toned surfers to boho babes, The Roadhouse is the place to see and be seen in Byron. This laid-back, yet trendy cafe offers a menu filled with vegetarian options. It boasts wholesome and nutritious options, which are curated from ingredients that are sourced and foraged locally."

"Where: 4 Jonson Street What: Bites & Cocktailshttps://loftbyronbay.com.au/. In a previous life, this site pumped out prime rib steaks and seriously curly fries (it was home to Byron Bay’s original Hog’s Breath Cafe). Today, owner Matt Hunt’s dream of creating a cocktail bar with contemporary Australian food and a casual coastal ambience has been realised with Loft.!"

"Loft Byron Bay is styled luxuriously to frame sun-soaked views of famous Main Beach. Our light filled spaces, centrally elevated above Jonson Street and Bay Lane, are perfect for relaxing with family and friends."

"If casual, laid back dining is your style with great cocktails, wood fired pizza and all the ambience, Treehouse on Belongil might just be your new favourite. Located across the road from Belongil Beach, this is a locals fave to pop into after a day swimming and surfing at the beach. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Treehouse on Belongil offers a fully licensed bar, is kid friendly, and if you keep them outside – your dogs can chill closeby too."

"A homespun beach bar where wooden decks spill out among the trees, afternoons are for drinking, and live, original music is played Thursday to Sunday, with DJs playing over summer. Soak up the drinks with a menu..."

"Just a five minute stroll from The Lord Byron, The Mez Club will have you transported across Europe, Morocco and the Middle East as you set yourself inside. While they also serve up shareable mezze-style dishes, it’s their signature cocktails that are calling you. With tipples such as the Mango Kombucha Margarita and the Pass Paloma, you can sure bet there’s going to be a cool drink (or two!) with your name on it."

"Located along Byron’s main high street, The Mez Clubis a must for cocktail hour. This beautifully designed venue has a rustic Mediterranean vibe, with white-washed walls, floor-to-ceiling doors and beautiful Moroccan-style furniture. The cocktails served here are fresh and vibrant and dangerously moreish."

"Drenched in white with woven straw accents, this chic bar-restaurant nails the Greek Islands vibe. Enjoy a lazy afternoon grazing on share plates of crispy haloumi, hummus, pitta bread and lamb kofte, with a... Japanese in Byron Bay"

"Delight in a chilly beer after a day in the sun at Woody’s Surf Shack, and also join the throng of partygoers as the night grows to revel in the music, dancefloor, and euphoric atmosphere of this retro-style bar. Classic surfboards hang from the ceiling, and also graffiti as well as local art work stretch along walls. Comfy cubicles, an exterior patio, and several pool tables give a perfect recess from the dance area."

"A Byron Bay staple, Woody’s Surf Shack is an essential stop on any bar crawl. The decor is inspired by a group of surfers who made the Bay their home in the ’60s and ’70s, and features surfboards, vintage photos and graffiti. Relax in retro booths or on the outdoor patio, shoot some pool, make some moves on the dance floor and enjoy anything from tinnies to bubbles or cocktails."

"Traditionally the last stop of the night, this dark bar now has a lockout time of 2am, so if you fancy shooting pool till the wee hours you'll need to get in before then. It runs a free pick-up Kombi from..."

"Serving regional European inspired dishes, using the abundance of quality produce found locally, in a casual & comfortable setting, for friends & families to enjoy good food & wine together."

"This eatery sits on Jonson Street as the name suggests, but it’s not located on top of the beach, rather it’s closer to Woolworths Byron Bay. You can grab breakfast, lunch or dinner at Jonsons Restaurant. According to some of the Google reviews, it looks to be a fairly popular breakfast joint as people thought they served good coffee."

"Quality, farmers market-sourced ingredients is what allows the chefs at Jonsons Restaurant Bar to produce a delightful array of Italian-inspired dishes and one-of-a-kind drinks. Choose from one of many charming spaces throughout the restaurant: the side street, plush indoor hub, cosy deck, garden, and bar window."

"It wouldn’t be a list of coolest restaurants in Byron Bay without mentioning a vegan joint and Manna Haven is quite possibly the best you’re going to come across. Although technically a vegetarian restaurant, the majority of the menu caters to vegans too, and the menu is shuffled around every week. Regardless of when you visit, expect to bright bold and colourful dishes that put an emphasis on flavour, with curries proving to be particularly popular."

"They have an award-winning vegetarian and vegan spread, made from local produce and served fresh. New menus come in every week and they serve vegan and gluten-free food as well. Enjoy your meals in the outdoor garden-style setting."

"Cape Byron Lighthouse is probably the most famous photo spot in Byron Bay. Not only is this where you will find Australia’s most easterly point, but its picturesque vantage point makes it a great spot to watch both the sunrise and sunset, whilst also dolphin spotting!. TOP TIP – Cape Byron Lighthouse is a lot busier on the weekend, so if you can I would come midweek."

"The café sits atop a cliff beside the Byron Bay Lighthouse overlooking the magnificent Byron Bay coast, a great stop after a long hike. For a touristy spot, the café serves surprisingly good coffee. They also have a variety of food items and sweets as you sip and enjoy the sweeping views of the sea."

"We have great organic coffee, plus decaf coffee, chai, Tumeric Lattes and a selection of fine local teas. We sell the best ice creams in the world which are locally made each day at "In The Pink" Gelateria in Byron Bay."

"Your guess what that has to do with food is as good as mine, but one thing for sure is the quality on display here. It’s a quirky hole-in-the wall restaurant that delivers authentic food at decent prices. Their caramelised chicken karaage, japadog hotdogs, fresh sushi and tasty gyoza, washed down with an Asahi beer, will take you straight to the neon streets of Tokyo straight from one of the best restaurants in Byron Bay."

"If it’s reasonably priced (and portioned) Japanese cuisine you seek, this place has your name on it. You’ll find Japonaise Kitchen smack bang in the middle of Lawson Street, serving authentic, Japanese staples in a relaxed setting. There are an array of the classics to choose from – ramen, sushi, tempura, gyoza – with generous portions of share plates doing the rounds through lunch and dinner sittings."
