Great $12 meals which are generous in serving size plus you get a free drink. Friday and Saturday night is $5 pizza night WOW. We (2) had dinner on Friday night for $18.50. That has to be the cheapest meal in Cairns :) More

Not now though, even though it does boast a nice collection of restaurants outside facing the marina. But the inside has become very dreary and customers seem to be few and far between. A shame to see an icon like this to have gone downhill so much More

We ate at The Pier several times. During the week it's great and so quiet, whilst on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday it is packed. They have fantastic deals where you get a house wine/beer and a meal for $13.00. Would definatly reccommend it for a cheap night out More

There are some fabulous places to go for a drink or dine at The Pier but the shopping area is somewhat desolate these days. More

There are several restaurants in the complex, most with outstanding water views. The restaurants themselves can be a little overpriced but all in all its OK. There are also a range of travel and tourist style... More
