We found an open table on the upstairs outdoor patio with a gorgeous view of Manly Wharf. The bar staff took our order and poured our beers quickly. This location was perfect for an afternoon beer!

(Ask for their 'Chain of Fire' merlot, if we hadn't been riding our bicycles I would've asked for a second glass!) Multiple vegan/vegetarian dishes available for those with dietary restrictions. The kale and capsicum pizza in particular was wonderful! The waiting time for orders was a bit all over the place, and 2 members of our group had to wait an especially long time despite having ordered meals first. The place seemed rather busy but as we'd just arrived via bikes, we didn't mind sitting on their outdoor patio. I'm not a beer person, but the machinery and equipment that comes with a brewery are all up for display through tall glass walls as well if you're into the makings of your drinks! One of the more interesting restaurants I've been to!

They also have a large imported beer selection. When I came, the restaurant was pretty quiet. There was plenty of seating, so I went up to the host and asked for a seat. I already knew I wanted a plate of the prawn Gyoza. It was lovely. It came with a ginger dipping sauce. The Gyoza were tender with a nice chew. The prawn paste inside was minced well and tasted great! I would definitely recommend this place !

Bondi Beach Cellars is a bottle shop that screams Bondi in every sense! It's decorated with…read moregraffiti, the alcohol is set up in a way that it looks like a storage room which adds to the warehouse-chic vibe, and there are plenty of bargains. My favorite thing about this bottle-o is their selection of wines of under $10. Just to the right of the counter, on the bottom shelf you'll find an array of red wines that taste great and cost as much as one drink would at the bar! They have plenty of Jacob's Creek, any of the Shiraz's are nice. They have the same selection with white wines, which you'll find in the fridges on the right. They sell all the best beers and ciders in longneck form, the locals wouldn't have it any other way. The lads that work there add to the authenticity, fresh faced locals that probably skate to and from work. They're always friendly and up for a chat. If you're stumped on what to get, they'll lead you in the right direction.

Nothing beats sitting on the beach or the rocks sipping on a cold longneck of Coopers on a sunny day. Or nothing would if it were *ahem* allowed to do so... take your rubbish with you people! Nirvana Beach Liquor makes very good use of its space, with a great wine selection for a pretty tiny bottle shop, and every spare inch of floor covered with shelving and display boxes. You can find pretty much anything you want for beach-boozing here as they also kindly stock bottle openers and plastic cups. Very reasonably priced and they play good music!
