Paihia's nightlife is generally relaxed, with options concentrated around the main waterfront area. You'll find most establishments within walking distance of each other.

The Esplanade, which runs along the waterfront, is where you'll find several bars and pubs. These often have outdoor seating with views of the bay and offer a mix of local and international beverages. Many also serve food and host live music, typically acoustic sets, in the evenings.

Marsden Road, a street parallel to the Esplanade and just a block inland, also has a few establishments. These tend to be more casual pubs where locals and visitors gather for drinks and conversation.
