This little gem is mainly for takeout, but there's some high chairs for you to eat in. It's definitely cheaper than dining-in in the hotel restaurant, yet you get the same quality of food as it shares the same kitchen. We watched the cooks prep for our food and it was handed to us fresh off the stove. Food wise, the portion size is simply enormous and we couldn't finish the takeout box despite lots of walking during the day. But that doesn't sacrifice the quality. The salt and pepper squid was on point, yet not overpowering. The deep fried prawns was simply perfect. You can taste the freshness of the prawn just underneath the deep fried batter. Fish was cooked beautifully and didn't fall apart easily when you slice through it. It's already 5 star experience and I would have given a bonus point to the restaurant for having biodegradable wooden takeout cuttery. read more

I will preface that my eating companions really enjoyed their burgers! The Ivanhoe lives as a happy resident on the corso between the wharf and the beach. Visited by Long time friends and new acquaintances. Ivan loves it's Wednesday burger days at 12.50 for a meal. Our trio choose the second floor because the first floor is quite dark but the outside deck is stunningly sunny with wall greenery, flat screen TVs, heaps room, and funky wicker decor. Our burgers arrive swiftly- having come from, I understand the cleanest kitchen in the business. Chips are salty and crunchy and meat has been cooked to preference. My 'beef' with this burger is the size of bun to patty and the taste of the meat. Bun is too big and each time I bite-sauce and bits fall out. And the meat has a game-y flavour. Is it weird to say "animaly"? Not the best burger I've had but the kitchen does offer a huge array of options and I'd eat here again read more

Got the Medium veggie pizza so I could have a free beer with it. When I asked what beers I could chose from, she said them so quickly I could not understand, so I asked her to say them again and the same thing happened. The pizza was vegetarian, but was not at all what was supposed to be on it. 90% squash, which I would not have gotten. Regardless, the crust itself was good so if I return I'd get the cheese or margarita. read more

Ivanhoe Hotel - Veg pizza - Pub Food Near Me - Manly, NSW

Here's a tip for the ladies: Manly was named by Captain Phillip as he sailed into Sydney Harbour and saw an Indigenous man standing on the headlands. The local guy was so statuesque and masculine that Phillip dubbed the area Manly. This may be urban legend or it may be true, I don't know and sometimes Google ruins all the fun so I've elected not to fact-check on this one. One fact i HAVE checked though is the inordinate amount of good-looking dudes live on the Northern Beaches. Well that's if you like your men buff, tanned and metrosexual with a whiff of footy player. You can find these types of guys in every bar in Manly and the Ivanhoe is certainly no exception- and I'm just talking the bar staff. I popped in here for an early weekday pizza and bevvy with a GF and was treated not only to genuinely charming and friendly bar staff, but a pretty damn decent pub pizza and given the early hour a commendable amount of male eye candy.Manly pubs are subject to a bizarre curfew so if you ARE anywhere here late at night and want to nip outside for a ciggie/phone call etc make sure you know the drill or you may not get back inside. read more

The Ivanhoe is like a Manly family establishment meaning that everyone who is a regular as a patron, or who works there from the bouncers, glassies, barstaff to the Manager have less that 3 degrees of separation between them. When it opened in the late 90's the nightclub was the popular level with queues, that floor has seen its dramas and remains closed for now. The queues are still present for the middle floor for the Sat night disco. Its quite a laugh to watch the V neck, skinny jeans and white shoes surf dancing around the floor. The ground floor is great on Thursday nights for live music and watching the 'jolly' kick around to the music which really starts to kick off from 9pm. Ivanhoe is also good to watch sports and to have that infamous $10 steak. Theres the sports bar next door where the punters faces are as regular as the furniture, nice to see a big window across the whole front wall to give them fresh air. Then theres the upper level which has also seen many shades of makeup in its time also. What can I say its an institution without the years that the Steyne has on it but if you want to see the natives in their finest make sure you drop in to enjoy the happenings read more

Ivanhoe Hotel - Pub Food Near Me - Manly, NSW

What an awesome place to eat! If you're looking for the pub meal and pub atmosphere, but want to maintain a bit of class and style, this would be the place for it. And such a great location too - walking distance to manly warf and manly beach, on the main mall in the centre of manly! And because of that, if you live nearby, I'm sure you already know all about it. And I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of Sydney had heard of this place too. As you walk past, the place boasts a $10 steak, which is an exciting prospect for all involved (except Vego's, who obviously wouldn't care, because they don't eat steak, being vegetaerians and all). What I like about the place though, is the space. You go inside and it opens up, so you don't feel crammed in, like heaps of places make you feel. This is a very good thing in Tyler-ville. read more

I was introduced to The Ivanhoe of Manly, or The hoe, at a young age - about six, eating the steak lunch special with my grandparents in about 1998. Now, having reintroduced myself to The Ivanhoe as a Saturday night patron, I don't think the décor has changed inside since the late nineties. Hilariously outdated décor aside, The Ivanhoe is a popular spot for revelers at night, or diners during the day and the evening. The menu is still cheap, still good, and still the same as circa 1998. But hey - why mess with a good thing? Attracting an older crowd than many of Manly's trendy waterside spots, the Ivanhoe on a Saturday night can usually be deconstructed like so: Bottom Floor: Bouncers, old people and a queue - there is ALWAYS a queue outside the 'hoe on a Saturday night after 10pm. "Go earlier!", my mother says. But then there'd be more old* people *Old = over 30. No offence. Second level: People "having a quiet one", which usually descends into a giant mess. Typically a younger crew than the bottom floor invites. ANOTHER QUEUE for the top level Top level: A crowded and fun dance floor; your best bet if you're looking to get rowdy. Don't go here on a date. The Ivy really isn't too bad though - cheapish drinks, a dancefloor and the old favourites on the food menu mean that it consistently offers its patrons a decent night out. read more

Stumbled onto this gem of a find as I walked down towards the ocean at Manly it was very hot outside and this place had it's air conditioning pumping and the beers were cold the service was great as was the choice on the menu however I had the wings and they were not really up to standard when you think wings you tend to think Cajun hot spicy wings. Overall the sports bar was very convenient just to watch Aussie rules on the big screen and see winks win win it's 15th race. The bistro was comfy and cozy, great toilets too. read more

Pretty good. I love seeing the food being prepared. So organized and such amazing team work. They're brilliant in the kitchens!!! Although they got our order almost completely wrong. We ordered salmon and salad (we got salmon and chips) we ordered tartare sauce and we got plain mayo the chips were pretty delicious! The service was amazing also! Will be back! read more

A really cool space with the new(ish) renovations, but The Ivanhoe has the least consistent kitchen you'll ever experience. In general, the burgers and pizzas are pretty alright - but if they creep up in price anymore, I'm out (they're already pushing it on anything of the non-plain burgers and pizzas). Some of the staff are really lovely, others are real assholes. Also on Wednesday lunch times (I never go any other times), it's old people central. Not that this is a problem, except they always make the staff close the sunshades. read more

Fool proof place to eat. Being a large pub in a main tourist beach spot they have to be good or they will be taken down by the competition. Pulled pork sliders are perfect and pizzas are made really well with fresh ingredients. Wash it down with a nice beer on tap or a glass of any other booze you could want. Beer garden is a great spot to hang out with some drinks and watch whatever sports game is on- shame about the smokers but whatever. Plus if your feeling wild the Ivanhoe club on the top level will leave you with a great hangover and sore legs from dancing to trashy music- all round good times. read more

Returned again to the Ivanhoe this time brought the family.... Kids meals came out first which is perfect for a relaxing enjoyable meal, I had the Spaghetti Prawn all reasonable priced. read more

The Ivanhoe's had a face-lift! I find it pretty difficult to fathom queuing to get into the Ivanhoe at 10pm on a Saturday night but that's the case these days! Pretty nice decor and outside sections are a welcome relief for those needing fresh air. Actually no, I take that back - they would be if everyone wasn't smoking out there! Didn't see the infamous $10 steak on the updated menu... read more

It is not surprising that all of the pubs that I visited on the Corso at Manly were exceptional pubs simply because Manly is such a draw card for tourists (and much easier to get to than Bondi). This pub was certainly no exception, with two levels, a pretty cool beer garden as well as a balcony. I guess the only drawback that I had with this pub was the VIP Lounge (otherwise known as a pokies room) but then again I was hard pressed to find a pub in Sydney that didn't have one. Oh, and this was the only pub on the Corso that didn't have a view. read more

Depending on the time of day you can feel very old at the Ivanhoe. I dropped in with a mate at about 10:30 PM on a fairly quiet Friday night. As such there was only the very top bar open and it appeared to be solely the haunt of those who were only very recently legally allowed to be there. As such, the drink selection available and the quality of them were not the greatest. Decor and layout wise it's a nice pub and when there are more levels open it's easier to find somewhere you're likely to feel comfortable but it's never going to be the place making amazing drinks. read more

The bouncer checked my friend's driver's licence (which proved that he was 25), but singled him out of his group and wouldn't accept this as adequate proof of age. My friend asked if he would like to see his credit card, and the bouncer demanded to see his Facebook. My friend complies and shows him his Facebook, but then the bouncer requests to see his credit card. After seeing my friend's platinum credit card, the bouncer finally lets him in. 1. How is Facebook a legitimate form of ID? 2. As a security guard, you only have the right to request for a driver's licence, passport or a photo card. You have no right to request for someone's Facebook or credit card. Besides, what if someone didn't have any of those two? 3. If a security guard suspects that a licence is fake, this is a matter for the police, not for the club/bar. Your responsibility is to check for ID. As long as you have completed your duty, it is not your problem if it is fake. You can call the police to verify if you wish. As per the Liquor Act 2007 NSW, a minor with a fake licence would be responsible and charged for this, not the club/bar. This bouncer's requests did not make sense and were not reasonable. We were all shocked by this treatment of this bouncer towards my friend, and we hope that this has nothing to do with the fact that he was the only Asian out of his group. My friend has been to The Ivanhoe many times before, and has never experienced this. In fact for the last 5 years, he has rarely been asked for ID, let alone have a security guard question the validity of his licence. We can understand that it is a mandatory responsibility of security guards to check IDs, but we cannot accept the unjust and unreasonable treatment exhibited towards my friend. read more

Looked good on outside. However, rude and very poor service. Maybe it's because we were Americans. Really didn't seem to want our money.

Don't go here! If your not from NSW They will not let you in if you do not have a NSW ID, they are rather racist to other cultures and are ruining there customer base by doing so! Very unprofessional and childish. A terrible way to run a business, considering that I have 5 years experience in 5 star and Michelin star restaurants I do know the standard quite well. read more
