Bang Bang Byron Bay

Bang Bang is a lively Asian-fusion restaurant on Byron Street, right in the middle of town. The draw for dog owners is the covered balcony: an open-air, shaded perch over the street where dogs are welcome beside you.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining, and the covered balcony is the spot to ask for - shaded, open-air and good for people-watching. Dogs stay on lead and under the table. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own water bowl. Indoors is not an option, as with any NSW food venue.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for Thai curries and stir-fries, with the red duck curry and beef massaman the standouts, plus a cheap happy hour. It is a sit-down dinner spot, so it suits a dog that will settle through a meal rather than a quick in-and-out.

Getting there. The address is 4/1 Byron St. On-street parking on Byron Street gets busy; the council car parks behind the Community Centre are a more reliable bet, and it is an easy walk from anywhere central.

Nearby with the dogs. Main Beach is about a five minute walk for an on-lead stroll before or after dinner, with the wide town footpaths making the trip easy.

Ask for the balcony and aim for the happy-hour window early, before the dinner crowd fills the covered seats.
