At 67 Esplanade in Cairns, Rattle n Hum is a relaxed bar and grill with a cosy, family-friendly atmosphere. The venue suits casual lunches, dinners, drinks and group occasions, with a lively setting close to the city’s central activity. Its style is informal and welcoming, making it suitable for families, friends, couples and larger gatherings.

The menu covers familiar bar-and-grill favourites, with a large stone pizza oven producing wood-fired pizzas alongside steaks, burgers, grilled chicken, fresh seafood, pastas and salads.

Rattle n Hum balances the feel of a busy bar with the practicality of a casual restaurant. The setting works for a relaxed meal, a drink after exploring the Esplanade or a longer evening with a group. Friendly service and an easygoing atmosphere add to the venue’s social character, while the broad menu allows different diners to choose from pizza, grill dishes, lighter salads or pasta.

Several areas can be arranged for different group sizes and event styles, with options for seated meals or cocktail-style occasions. A dedicated beer garden includes greenery, festoon lighting, a retractable roof, varied seating and a large projection screen, creating a flexible setting for group events and shared viewing.
