Pub Review

One of the best parts of Cairns is the nightlife. Since it is huge vacation/holiday spot, every night is like Saturday. There were alot of new clubs and pubs that opened since the last time I was there. All of them within walkin distance of one another, for your pub crawls. I meant to take pics of the outside of each one but never got around to it, or I just didnt remember to do it when I was there.

1st and foremost the most famous pub and one of the best is The Woolshed. Famous for being full of backpackers dancing on the tables. They also serve food if you get there early enough. Oh and on Wednesdays they have wet tshirt contests around midnight, but I didnt go there....twice.


My other favorite pub was the Rhino Bar. Plenty of drink specials, 3 pool tables and big outside patio. It seemed evernight they had a different theme or special going on. Thursday is free Champaign to the ladies.

If you're looking for a good Irish Pub to grab a Guinness, then P.J. O'Briens is the place for you. Its also one of the good pubs that is open during the day. At nights they live bands, Coyote Girl Dancers on the bar, and of course loud music to dance too.

The Courthouse is also a cool place to go. It has a huge outside area, and during the world cup they had a 30 foot screen set up to show the games. Of course the games never started before 11pm so if you wanted to stay up all night outside watching the games, head there. Its also a hotel if you dont want to walk far at the end of the night.

Honorable mention goes to Gilligans. Like the Courthouse it is also a hotel/resort. The bar has a nice pool and outside area. I think a saw a pool table or two inside too. But the music is more hip-hop, house and techno.

This review is sponsored by Australia's best beer, XXXX Gold. Despite Americas common misconception they dont even drink Fosters in Australia. Fosters is for the birds.
