Go down Quay Street along the river, go to the Criterion, Stadium, always kicking on, or walk a few blocks to a pub like the Ally's, ODowds, The Bruns...plenty of pubs up there
Never had dramas with the locals...they seem to stick to the parks mostly |

What everyone has said is correct. There are a lot of Murries, but the give little dramas in town. Walk drunk through a poorly lit park however....
Pleenty of good pubs with live music and decent Meals, before heading to the clubs. No Noody Bar, as mentioned! Not a bad party town!

It does get pretty bad, I haven't had any trouble with unfriendlies for a long time but everyone that comes to town seems to run into them somehow.
And yeah, plenty of idiots in bogan cars that want to race everybody. That's why I gave up on the 'lap' scene years ago.. It's pathetic most of the time. |

I went there once and probably never again!! didn’t like the place sorry but Yepoon and Emu bay were nice. I will say one thing though they can cook a Killer stake in rocky ;) Bumped into the Brisbane Broncos when I was there at the stake house can not remember the name of the place or where I was staying ?? The Hotel was the big white one next to the bait and tackle shop LOL Chopper and Jacko were staying at the same hotel as they had a show on that night.

The steakhouse you are thinking of is the Cambridge Hotel. They have served me the best steak I have ever eaten there and I am a big steak eater. One to rival the Cambridge is the C ock & Bull in Cairns. They have the second best steaks in Qld and massive sides. |

The Kalka pub on Lakes Creek rd has a good steak too, good feed overall. One of the best pub meals I've had anywhere
