Cairns has pubs and bars to cater to travelers, students, and locals. The nightlife is vibrant.
Rattle 'N Hum
67 the esplanade. â +61 7 4031-3011. the rattle 'n hum is a bar and grill in the midst of one of the busiest parts of the esplanade. it's quite large and getting a seat is seldom a problem: sit out back once they light torches in the evenings. competition for the pool table is not formidable so you should be able to get several games in. they do a number of main meals, including wood-fired pizza for around $20. the staff are highly variable in quality, ordering a cocktail can be risky, but they're certainly able to pull a beer.
