Light Years (Byron Bay)

Light Years is an airy bar with Vietnamese-inspired design reminiscent of French-colonial Hanoi. Offers with authentic street food such as roasted duck pancakes and succulent bao buns. Pop in mid-week for Hot Pho and ice-cold beer — the contrast is devilishly delicious. Their cocktail menu is an artisanal delight. Netflix and Chill comes highly recommended — the perfect marriage of toasty popcorn and smokey rum.
