Yelp has this incorrectly across the road. It is on the water right behind ferry dock. Clean and busy with limited menu. Good view of ferry side of Manly. Away from the real beach and the chaos. read more

Manly Wharf Hotel - View from bar - Bars Near Me - Manly, NSW

There were many reasons why we chose to go for lunch to this spot. One being it is right next to the ferry, the menu had great options, the space was clean, and the views were great. I loved the interior, the white paneling, and the uniform of all the employees. I also appreciated that they had a large menu with plenty of healthy options. I got greens and grains salad, which was incredible. The food came out quickly and it was such a beautiful day. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the manly beach area. read more

This is a lively pub in a really great spot, right on the water at the Manly Ferry terminal. I enjoyed the Falafel Salad. It was fresh, colourful, tasty, nicely presented and a good sized portion for lunch. The falafel salad pumpkin hummus, pomegranate seeds, cherry tomatoes and green salad. I didn't wait long for it, which was great as it was a busy lunchtime, with many people there. Very nice. Thank you. read more

Always a good place to catch up when in Manly,. great views, the setting is amazing, sunsets sensational and a good crowd. Love the outdoor deck area in these pandemic times as very safe to sit out on the deck and people watch. Pizzas are adequate and amazing options, good size and go down nicely with a cold beer. read more

Excellent spot for a drink, lunch or dinner. The prices go from $10 special to $30 smic meal. Catch the Manly Ferry and turn right to the hotel wharf. On a sunny day, sitting under the umbrellas with Cajun Squid and a beer....it doesn't get better than this. The patrons vary from young families to business types. I was in a group of 10 and all plates went back clean. Food was good! Watching the Collaroy or Queenscliff arrive will help with last drinks call. read more

After arriving in manly, I met my kiwi friends here for a beer, and I was hungry, so naturally, they have pizza, but not normal American pizza, weirdo pizza! I tried the prawn pizza, which was about30 American dollars. That pizza, was soo fricking delish ions, I've never tasted such an amazing creation, it was as if my taste buds and the pizza had a wedding party in my mouth, nothing less then awesome. Service was a bit low, young bartenders, expensive drinks, but whatever, that's how you do it in Aus! Did I fail to mention that it's a bar.. On a wharf! On the water coolness. Yo! read more

So swanky! Pretty people at sunset, drinks galore, great music, super happening scene, and pristine restaurant. We just drinks to take in the amazing vibe, but the food looked good. There's outdoor patio seating and tables inside overlooking the patio. I felt like I was in the Hampton's or something. This place was packed at sunset. Definitely a must when you are in Manly! read more

Wharf bar is where you want to be for an afternoon Sunday Sesh in Manly. It's right on the water (harbour-side). I love this place in the summer. When I lived in Manly I always promise myself I would only stay for a few, but once I showed up I would stay for a "few more." It does get pretty crowded at times. It's probably not a good pick on the weekend if you have a group that wants a table to sit down. My fave snack on the menu are the nachos. It's a HUGE platter. Get them to share with 1-2 friends. Trust me. read more

«Wharfie» or Wharf Bar, as it is affectionately known, is arguably the original and the best. Situated on the stunning Manly wharf, the originally-titled Manly Wharf Hotel is a perfect spot to enjoy a vegetarian pizza for a sunny lunch (my pick of the extensive pizza menu), a Sunday afternoon game of pool or a Saturday night of watching the beautiful people. And beautiful they are - Wharf Bar's clientele (and staff, for that matter) are predominantly young professionals and students, who are mostly blonde, tanned and scantily clad. The cast of Home and Away would not be out of place in this most typical of Northern Beaches establishments. Admittedly trendy, Wharf Bar manages to walk the fine line of being a hotspot without being pretentious. A reasonably-priced food and drinks menu, plus its longevity on the Manly bar scene dictates that everyone can feel ok here and enjoy the stunning views and good vibes. While the young and beautiful reign at night, grandparents enjoy a quiet glass of wine during the evening, tradies come for lunch and tourists filter in at all hours. These warm, fun-lovin' vibes are maybe because of the hugeness of the place - far bigger than most bars, Wharf Bar's white tiles streeeeetch for an unexpected distance. Maybe it's because of it's outlook on Sydney Harbour - it's hard not to smile when you look out to the Heads. Maybe we can attribute it to the saying that is true of all of Manly «Seven miles from the city... One thousand miles from care.» It could be the reasonably-priced drinks and food, or it could be that it's not the kind of place you feel you must drink to keep your sanity. The hotel always manages to take the extra step in making its clientele want to come back, whether it be for a special occasion such as the annual Cup Day party, or just another sunny afternoon on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Unlike many Manly establishments, the Manly Wharf Hotel is always impeccable clean and always feels safe - fights do not start here. read more

This place has a great vibe! Directly on the wharf, with a great view over the water and surrounding suburbs, it's a pretty cool little place to sit back and watch. It feels to me to be directly between a pub and a high class restaurant, with a pretty sweet ocean / surf theme, with Kayak rental right outside. I've only been here once, and had some entrées. But whats great is you can choose how you want to be seated. Stools around a high table, or park-bench style seating sheltered, but with views, or out side on couches anjoying the sunlight and breeze. If you come along yourself and take a tour through you'll see what I mean. The foods great, neither cheap nor super expensieve, and it can just a be a meeting place for drinks too if that's what you're looking for. A nice, social atmosphere! Theres even a bar and dining area outside on the jetty; sit on the water while you eat! read more

Despite Manly Wharf being re-developed to make it more appealing and local, interstate and international touristy friendly; it is still difficult to find a great place to eat away from the beach and the corso with some peace and quiet, albeit some civilisation. Max Brenner, forget it: although a great locale: if real food is for you (where you actually want to eat with a real knife and fork) in a cost effective manner; then this establishment deserves your attention and is worthy of your consideration next time you make a day out of it on the iconic Manly Ferry. Even for some quality wedges to munch on; with priceless views in a prominent location. You could easily feel like a million bucks; especially on a warm afternoon on any given day of the week. The weekends will make you feel a little less prosperous; however it is so much fun eating here with the gorgeous view in the middle of the week on an extremely sunny day while nearly everyone else is working; perhaps with a glass of pinot noir or a lemon, lime and bitters in tow. Heaven. In a nutshell, great service and a trendy locale definitely awaits you here. Enjoy your journey. read more

Update required after many more fruitless visits to this big soulless monstrosity that's always packed. The wharf bit is still great but inside is purgatory. The coup de grace? Ordering a coffee at the bar. Being given one of those flashing 'come back when your order is ready' wands. Wait, what? You're pouring that guy a beer. And the coffee machine is right there. Why can't you make me a coffee? So I waited. And waited. And went back with my non-beeping wand to find out they'd forgotten to out the order through, rendering my wand little more than a cheap plastic paperweight. Ugh. read more

Spoiler alert, this isn't a hotel (or certainly didn't appear to be), but rather a large bar/restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed the food (tiger prawns, fish & chips, etc.), beer and scenic waterfront location. Wasn't a fan of ordering at the bar and picking up my own food, drink, condiments, napkins and flatware, or of the picnic table/bench seating. It seemed I was constantly climbing in, out and over my dining mates for one reason or another. The clerks were very friendly and it seemed like there were staffed sufficiently to allow for table service, but that's not their deal. Next time I'll go across the street to Garfish or down the Corso to Manly Grill for full-service, comfortable seating and food that's every bit as good, or quite possibly, better. read more

Good food, good view, good drinks and good set up. All good. You won't be let down. However if your coming here on the weekends don't come starving or dehydrated because you will be waiting a little while to get served. It gets packed on a Sunday evening and honestly I have never seen so many beautiful people in one place...So if your looking to pick up, you better jazz yourself up before you come down on the weekends. read more

Huge space. Or should I say spaces. Right on the harbour, good service, plenty of seating/standing room for hundreds. There's a nice view, although I doubt many of the serious socializers and drinkers present on a late Saturday afternoon noticed. It's right where the Sydney ferries come in, as well as where many boats load/unload passengers at the public dock. There is food, but I only participated in the beer selection. Seated along the water or standing at the bar picking up a beer, service is friendly and efficient. The location by the ferries in Manly no doubt accounts for this establishments popularity. That's fine with me - good place. I should note I have eaten here before, but only for a quiet lunch a few years back. Nothing memorable about the food, but nothing wrong with it either. Again, location, location, location. read more

Ahhhh, the Wharfie... If ever a bar was so perfectly situated and iconic in its sex appeal, it would have to be you. Located directly on Manly Wharf, the Wharf Bar lends itself to sensational summer sunsets had on its outside dock. The dock is huge, with tons of covered seating and a separate bar, which made for the perfect anniversary party this past weekend. Judging by its glorious location, you would assume that drinks would be outrageously priced and you'd have to bring a flask in just to conger up a decent buzz. But fear not! The price is no more than your average townie! Inside is open and flirtatious, boasting tons of windows and funky electronic tracks. We were there from early Saturday afternoon until late into the evening, and the only thing that seemed to grow short were the skirts on the ladies. Yes, the Wharfie becomes more provocative by the hour, but who doesn't? And with the dock staying open throughout the night, there's always an escape route. Our Saturday stakeout required food, and luckily they have a feel good pizza kitchen that sells overpriced pizzas for around $20. They're small, but tasty, and I would highly recommend the prawn or the pumpkin! They also have a typical bar menu, and based on the wedges we had, the food was nothing to write home about. Summary: Head to the Wharfie on a weekend afternoon and sip down cider all the way until sunset! .. and after then, too ;) read more

Good option for lunch in Manly near the water. Lots of options for food varying from salad, pizza, burgers, mains as fish and steak. Huge servings though so be prepared!! It was pretty noisy and busy when we were there for Sunday lunch but understandable as it's an institution in Manly. I had the fish with pumpkin risotto. It was a little too oily for my liking but nothing in couldn't handle. Wouldn't order it again though. The prawn mango salad my friend had looked much more tastier. read more

I guess you're paying for the view here right? I paid $20 for fish and chips that would have cost me half the price anywhere else in Sydney. Everything looked to be a bit overpriced for my liking. And for a pub really? You want people to pay silly prices? No thanks. The only reason I stayed to eat was because I was outvoted by work mates who just wanted a bite to eat and you were there. The only reason this place got 2 stars was because the staff were lovely and the view was nice. That's about it really. read more

This might be a big call but overall this is my FAVOURITE drinking hole in Manly. If the sun is shining on a Sunday afternoon and you not here then, as Lara Bingle once said, where the bl**dy hell are you? The infamous Sunday session is on like donkey kong every Sunday...rain, hail or shine. The crowds may thin a little in the winter months but it is a guaranteed good scene all year round. Someway or somehow all the good looking, trendy young residents of the Northern Beaches wake up from their weekly hibernation and converge on the Wharfie on Sunday afternoons. My favourite locations would be the Jetty Bar or the deck just off the restaurant. These are excellent spots for checking out the scenery (aka hotties) and the ocean view ain't bad either. The place has a good selection of ciders and beers plus a cocktail bar. I like the nachos, wedges and pizza too. Well, who doesn't like those? Only downsides of Wharfie is that it is pretty noisy during a sports match and they have introduced pokies. But as the bar staff said, they need to turn a profit. This is also only of the only places in Manly that the dreaded 18s crowd has not managed to ruin. Overall, I love love love it! read more

I drifted to finally try the newest addition to the Wharfie - Chur Burger. I was a bit skeptical to see if it tasted as good as the Chur in Surry Hills, but I have to say I was quite impressed! The service was crap but the taste was just as delicious. The main perk was there was, wait for it...NO WAIT! No line out the door or fight for a table, just walk in, order and boom you're eating :). I of course still prefer the fun vibe of the Surry Hills one more! read more

This bar is always packed. It's a perfect little sun trap, and so convenient for everyone coming off the ferry. Whilst it's kid friendly, it's also super popular with the trendy crowd. Eye candy (both sexes) abounds, it's a great place to people watch. Definitely a 'thumbs up" from me. read more

Located on the ferry terminal, and with outdoor seating on a pier, this pub affords what is probably the best views in Manly. Simply sitting outside, drinking a beer while overlooking Sydney Harbour simply can not be beating in this part of the city. Okay, there is a boat harbour near it, but that simply does not undermine the views that you get. Not surprising it is also a very popular pub, having a nightclub here as well. Mind you, you can't take your beers from the pub out onto the Wharf, but that problem is solved by having a bar out on the Wharf. The only drawback was that when I went here the second time, while I was having a beer with my brother, it started to rain, meaning that everybody on the Wharf had to rush under one of the umbrellas. read more

Yes, it's a bit soulless, a bit overpriced, and a bit crowded. But it's big, with a variety of indoor and outdoor areas. It's open and airy and painted white to make it feel light and spacious. It's a very comfortable, relaxing, spot if you go outside of peak times (which are evenings and weekends). Location! It's easy to get to, being in the ferry terminal, and has lots of spots - indoor and outdoor - looking out over the harbour. I was here on a recent Monday with my wife for some late-afternoon beers and it was really nice and refreshing. read more

Wharf Manly attracts a young crowd on the weekends and in the evening with plenty of groups swarming in and around Wharfie. It is definitely the place to go and be seen. Having been with a group and with a smaller crowd, I definitely recommend going with a larger group. Otherwise it can feel a bit overwhelming. It can be difficult to get a seat and sometimes you are forced to sit in the restaurant area which can be a little dull. There is a balcony which looks onto the water but isn't very wide. There are many people out there smoking and drinking so that too can be difficult to secure a place to sit. It's a great place to meet people and hang. Wharfie is best for pre drinks before heading to one of Manly's many clubs. read more

Manly Wharf Hotel or known by the locals "Wharf Bar" is one of the best restaurants in Manly with a great venue for some amazing food. Take a great, relaxing ferry ride from Circular Quay and enjoy the Sydney Harbor. I ate some pizza and some wine at Manly Wharf Hotel which was the best I've had with a great sunset overlooking the harbor. There is seating in and outside, right by the ocean with some great views. It is casual dining and family friendly. Definitely a must do when visiting Manly and don't forget to see other attractions such as Manly Beach which is an 8 minute walk down the Corso with great shops, cafes, and pubs along the way. Great beach front views and a great destination to visit! read more

Beers and seafood on the Jetty bar. We went Thursday lunch and they don't take bookings. They had their steak special $10 including chips and salad. Reasonably priced and nice view. read more

Delicious pineapple and cinnamon margarita. A must try! The scenery is not bad either!!

Update! The pulled pork burger used to be really delicious, but it seems they've changed it recently and taken away the BBQ sauce - which in my humble, is what makes pulled pork the glorious thing it is - and replaced it with mayo and what I think was pâté. Not entirely unpleasant, but not something I'd ever order again and it's certainly put me off bothering to go back. The chips have also become really average. read more

It's a fun place, large with multiple sections and a stunning view, and that's where it ends. It's your typical pub full of noisy people pretending to have a splendid time or maybe they actually are. But as I maybe belong to a slightly older generation now, I like the outdoors Wharf bar, which on a sunny day or warm evening is the perfect place to unwind. It's casual, and fun if you can ignore the sticky floor..Their food is average, like how pub food is supposed to be, heavy and unimaginative, but then I never go to a pub for food unless it is some chips and schnitzel I am craving! The newly opened Chur Burgers serves pretty good burgers and milkshakes though, and I am told is exactly like it's Surry Hills cousin. I will take your word for that! read more

Nice bar with a modern younger feel .. Grate sunsets on this side of manly . Very bizzy weekends more relaxing in the week.. read more

Way too crowded today for Mother's Day. Menu looked alright but we opted for Chur Burger which shares the same kitchen. Unfortunately service today was below par, but the chips with chilli salt hit the spot, along with a house red from the bar. The chicken burger was ok, perhaps a bit lacking of flavour. Value for money and relatively quick service was beneficial on a pretty busy day for hospitality. read more

Manly Wharf Hotel is definitely a must do when in Manly. Located directly at the wharf you got great views. In addition drinks and foods are good and not too expensive. read more

Waited for our order for over an hour. $38 bucket of prawns had 8 prawns in it!! My salmon order came with stone cold potatoes and broccoli. I had actually asked for only green veg due to allergies. Salmon was ok. So busy and had waited so long for the meal that everyone else at our table had finished so I just ate the fish and left. Won't be rushing back!!! read more

The wharf hotel is great for a night out or a spot to eat. Great for a few drinks on a Sunday night but also really nice during the day for lunch. The pizza is great and on certain nights you can get one with a free drink. Definitely a great place to spend a summer afternoon! read more

This place is awesome! The multiple bars make I.T easy to have a drink for whatever mood you are in. It is right off the manly wharf so it's super convenient for someone like me who is staying in Sydney to just hop over on the Manly ferry. The views of the city are also incredible and it's so great watch the sunset and ferries coming in and out. read more

The people here are absolutely lovely - I regularly visited the bar and the bartenders Millie and Katie learnt to recognised me because I was very picky with my food and very experimental with my drinks. They were amazingly friendly and willing to humour my weird combinations. Looking forward to coming back, hopefully sometime soon. read more

Tiger prawn and mango salad was surprisingly good and filling. Overall good value for a busy part of town.

slow bar tenders, food is shit, beside the nachos. view is good. crowd = douche

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 the bouncer that this was crazy and we wouldn't have ordered dinner if we couldn't eat it as a group. He told me it wasn't his issue and I was being rude and to speak to a manager (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 bouncer "look i'm sorry - I realise it's not your fault" and was going back to my seat and he 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 bouncer walked up and I said "this is crazy"and excused myself and sat back down with my group. He 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). He then returned with the money - threw it at me and literally PUSHED me out the door. As an adult (especially someone that was not intoxicated or violent) I simply CANNOT believe that these morons they employ can physically touch people WHO WERE LEAVING ANYWAY - as far as i'm concerned this is assault. They of course thought it was hilarious and smirked at me like it was some kind of football match. I was with a group of witnesses who ALL were trying to get a manager to be involved / instead was then bullied by a group of bouncers who came to end the situation. Awful customer service. What a shame this still exists in 2013. Only on the Northern Beaches! read more
