Why it's worth checking out
Elixir Music House sits on Abbott Street in the heart of Cairns City, in the tropical-north Queensland hub. A much-loved live-music venue, it's become a genuine highlight of the local scene — combining a great program of live music and performances with good drinks and a warm, intimate, characterful atmosphere, the kind of in-the-know spot that music lovers seek out.
The appeal is that combination of quality live music, a good drinks offering and a welcoming, characterful setting in central Cairns, ideal for a night of live entertainment, a drink and a great atmosphere. An intimate music venue with a strong program really stands out, and Elixir has clearly won over a devoted following among locals and visitors who love live music.
With a 4.7 rating from 300 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The live-music program, opening hours, drinks and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current schedule before you go — particularly for a specific act or event — though for live music, a drink and a great atmosphere, it's well worth seeing who's playing at Elixir Music House in Cairns.
