Bar entertainment in Cairns

    Shenannigans

    The huge beer garden with barrels for tables, big screens and a music stage is the stand-out at this marginally Irish-themed pub attached to a backpackers. Entertainment spans trivia nights, karaoke and live bands.

    PJ O'Briens

    There are sticky carpets and the smell of stale Guinness, but Irish-themed PJ's packs 'em in with party nights, pole dancing and dirt-cheap meals.

    Rhino Bar

    A high-energy crowd downs cocktails and shots and spills out onto the enormous 1st-floor balcony. Can get messy.

    Cadence

    Up a zillion steps the vibe is cool crossed with comfy leather lounges.

    Woolshed Chargrill & Saloon

    Another backpacker magnet. A young crowd of travellers and diving instructors gets hammered and dances on the tables.

  7. Vibe Bar & Lounge Bar

    Walk through the unassuming street entrance to the cathedral-like back room with funky artworks adorning the walls and couches in the corners at this 'Melbourne-style' lounge bar. The dance floor cranks from 9pm nightly. Gay-friendly.

    Salt House

    Next to Cairns' new yacht club, Salt House has a sleek nautical design that has seen it become the city's most sought-after bar since it opened a couple of years ago. It's actually two bars: the luxury yacht–styled Sailing Bar, with live music, and the Balinese- influenced Deck Bar, with killer cocktails and DJs hitting the decks.

    Pier Bar & Grill

    A local stalwart for its waterfront location and well-priced meals. The Pier's Sunday session is a must.

    Hotel Cairns

    This grand-dame hotel is a low-key alternative to Cairns' hurdy-gurdy party scene, with nightly piano and double-bass performances.
