    Magnum’s

    Imagine a giant bottle of champagne. Now imagine five hundred sunburned 21-somethings jumping around in a vast outdoor venue with cheap champagne and cheap beds. Magnum’s is a classic backpacker party; we say whack it on an ironic ‘do-before-you-die’ list.

    Mama Africa

    Just a stumble across the road from the main party bars, this African-style safari nightclub throbs a beat that both hunter and prey find hard to resist.

    Beaches

    Late afternoons here are heaven by some definitions. More of a sit-and-whistle than dance-ya-pants-off kind of crowd; there’s also a great pool if you get too hot to handle.

    Phoenix Bar

    Locals and curious tourists quaff drinks in more intimate surrounds at this brand-new bar, yapping about how much they’re ‘over’ the all-night parties.

    Uber

    This ubercool bar and restaurant is the classiest in town. Come for cocktails, lounge in comfortable nooks on the alfresco deck, or just savour the uber-ambience.

  10. Sails Sports Bar Bar

    This outdoors bar with sports memorabilia on the walls can get rowdy at night, but it's a great place on Sunday arvo with live music and a marina outlook. Mackay Harbour is 6.5km north-east of the centre (via the Forgan Bridge).
