The Northern - Byron Bay

The Northern Hotel - Byron Bay

The Northern front bar overlooks Byron's main street in the center of town; ideal for people watching and taking in the diversity the Bay has to offer.

Heritage features and an old-school traditional charm give a relaxed feel during the day, while at night the region's best blues, rock, and folk performers grace the stage.

Come in for a locally brewed ale, stay for dinner, and then get involved on the dance floor until the early hours of the morning.

If the walls could talk in the Northern's famous Backroom, they would speak volumes about Australia's live music scene and the musicians keeping it alive.

The Backroom has undeniable energy derived from over 30 years of rock n roll antics, huge personalities, extreme fans, and musical highs.

The Backroom has hosted everyone from the White Stripes, to Bloc Party, to PJ Harvey, while also supporting young local talent and possessing a philosophy that aims to bring quality free music with unmatched sound and production to Byron Bay.
