The Rabbit Hole

Bars & Nightlife

Mackay is still a relatively relaxed and small city. However, with its premium location on the Pioneer River and by the Coral Sea, it has slowly started gaining a reputation as a party city at night. There are numerous venues, both pubs and clubs, ensuring there is always something happening every day of the week. Each Thursday the local newspaper 'The Daily Mercury' prints a list of the bands that are playing and where.
