    I arrived mid arvo as I'm visiting from Perth and organised for a group of adults to meet me for some food and cocktails. Everything was fine for the start. However they don't offer table service and our group started to order meals and return to where we were sitting. However as the place got busier we couldn't actually all eat together as we weren't allowed to back to our seats because of apparent number issues (even though our whole area was fairly empty). I said to them that this was crazy and we wouldn't have ordered dinner if we couldn't eat it as a group. They told me it wasn't their issue and I was being rude and to speak to a management (Which I was not being rude - I was rationally explaining my situation). I said fine and went inside and asked to speak to management - who let me through with my food so I couldn't join my party. I said to the staff "look i'm sorry - I realise it's not your fault" and was going back to my seat and staff replied "you're making my job really hard". I asked if this was a restaurant and was told it was only a bar and you get what you pay for. A second staff walked up and I said "this is crazy"and excused myself and sat back down with my group. They then came over and asked me to leave (weirdest thing that has ever happened to me in a restaurant!) and I said I would leave if I was refunded for my meal (that I obviously hadn't eaten). They then returned with the money - threw it at me. Awful customer service.

    Beautiful place to sit down and relax with a cold beer on a hot day. Take in the ocean, the breeze, and be reminded of how great it is to be alive.

    If you're headed over to Manly for the day, I can definitely recommend lunch and a few beers at the Manly Wharf Hotel!
    The atmosphere is really great on a nice day and the view rivals that of any other waterfront pub/bar/restaurant in Sydney.
    The food is also really reasonably priced!

    I was here recently with a mate. We were having a few beers when we decided it was time to leave. We made a deal that we would get the next ferry to arrive... it came and went... three times. We stayed. We just couldn't bring ourselves to leave!

    On a nice day, sit outside or on the jetty but be prepared to fight for a table!!

    Recently visited here and enjoyed a bottle of wine and bite to eat on the jetty. I was very impressed, having not been to manly in many years I wasnt sure what to expect. however I was extremely impressed. The whole jetty has had a huge makeover at it looks fantastic. This is the perfect spot to get together with friends and enjoy a drink and bite to eat... I found the food wasn't too expensive for the view either... Staff were pretty friendly. Would be great for a sunday sesh.

    Best pub food in Sydney. Waterfront location and great atmosphere. A shame they close early on Friday / Saturday nights!

    Great location by the wharf on top of the water. Mixed crowd and relaxed setting - semi-formal. I find food is consistently good though not quite Wow spectacular. Still with a good group of friends, round of drinks... nice spot to each and catch up....

    Great atmosphere and great place to meet friends on a SUnday afternoon. Lots of our friends have little babies and this is really good for them out on the courtyard. Food is also very good.

    Situated right on the waterfront this hotel is the perfect place for a casual drink or meal, though its a little noisy when really busy in summer.

    Place to be after work on a Friday - or mid after noon on a lazy Saturday.
    Drink prices are very reasonable and great snack food,

  • Manly Wharf Hotel

    Ultimate Sydney

    Thursday, July 22, 2010

    If Manly Wine is this season’s must-have little black dress, Manly Wharf Hotel is your favourite leather jacket: fun, familiar and perfect for every occasion. This vast pub, which shares Manly Wharf with the ferry terminal, is packed night and day with locals and visitors alike. There are three indoor bars, an undercover jetty bar, a bustling bistro serving top-notch pub grub and a separate pizza kitchen. There’s also music most nights, and on Saturdays it’s party central.
