The Lounge
with its plush surrounds, intimate lighting system and Dj's 7 nights a week, sets the mood for what is certainly the best lounge bar in Cairns. It's actually a hip mini dance club; small enough to feel cosy, big enough to swing your hips without inviting a stranger to a pump and grind session! Locals and travelers mix it up, and I would have to categorically state that The Lounge is the only lounge bar or dance club in Cairns that is busy every night of the week. It's located under the Famous Woolshed Bar (there's internal stairs between the two bars), so backpackers are more than welcome to meet up at The Lounge. While at The Lounge we recommend you induge in a few of their delicous cocktails, have a chat and a dance up it up all night long. You will also find the lighting system mesmerising and the music just the right balance, always the last bar open in Cairns... check it out! SHIELDS STREET.
The Pier Bar
The Pier has the most enviable location in Cairns, overlooking the water, across the Coral Sea. This beautiful view of the lapping water and incoming boats and yachts, belong to (possibly) Cairnsʼ classiest venue. However, the hospitality is down-to-earth and itʼs for this reason that the sun deck starts to fill with locals and tourists as soon as the sun starts to set. It has famous pizzeria and char grill food on offer, and is decked out in modern décor inside and out. Professional competitions are held regularly including Bartercard Miss Indy Australia and Best Model Australia, which have attracted some serious contestants

with major prize packages on offer. These are held on a Friday or Sunday night, and the Pier is the place to be seen most nights of the week. THE PIER, THE ESPLANADE
