Blue Sky Brewery
Here’s a sparkling new drinking hall and brewery that caters for foodies and beer-lovers. A ‘snow rail’ keeps the average barflys’ beer cool, and you can try all seven premises-made brews on a taster-tray for $16. Foodwise, the malt from the brewery goes to the tablelands cattle, which end up in the kitchen. True-blue beery beef.

Court House Hotel
The scales of justice fly high in this heritage building (over the bright central bar, in fact), and there’s an outdoor cinema. Don’t miss Wednesday night’s cane toad racing, and live bands on Sundays.

Cairns Yacht Club
Patrons here tend to sport a leathery tan and a nautical appearance - think boat shoes without socks. Drinks are extremely well priced, and big meals are turned out of the bistro-style kitchen.

Nu-Trix
Drag shows are a feature at Cairns' only gay venue. The shiny metal-clad exterior acts as armour against the morning sun, keeping things dark and doofing until late.

Woolshed
Once the $10 spag bol and free drink has gone down, the booths and balcony get very, very rowdy, especially on ‘wet jock’ comp night.

Shenannigans
With a massive cool beer garden, Shags Bar is no doubt the starting point for much shenanigans. Loads of screens showing sports.
