Best Nightlife in Manly

"With its doors opened since 2002, this Sydney restaurant is located in the southern section of Bondi Beach, the city’s most famous beach. The main reason why restaurant’s success remains unchanged?. The answer is what is should be: the food."

"Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, 1 Notts Ave, Bondi Beach NSW 2026. 18 minutes from Club Wyndham Sydney. There are a few reasons to pay attention to Icebergs."

"If you're treating yourself to lunch at Bennelong in Summer 2021, make it a Sunday when they're running the Live at Bennelong' concert series on a Sunday afternoon. An extra $30 concert fee on top of your set menu will ensure your repast is paired with live ragtime, blues and tango from curator Phillip Johnston (Microscopic Septet, Wordless!) and friends. Pro tip: A walk around the Botanic Gardens is socially distant, beautiful and a great way to finish your love affair with the city."

"World-renowned chef Peter Gilmore’s artful, imaginative interpretation of Australian cuisine, under the soaring sails of the Sydney Opera House. Why we love it: Much like a ride on the Manly Ferry or the coastal walk from Coogee to Bondi, eating inside the Opera House is a Sydney rite of passage. Both the food and the service are every bit as polished as the magnificent setting."

"Back in the day, a visit to Sydney wasn't complete without a visit to the family-friendly nooks and picture-perfect crannies of the Grounds. You'd know it was a long wait to get in, but it was an honour you'd queue for. While the brand of prettily plated café fare popularised by places like the Grounds has filtered out to eateries around the city, it's still a lovely spot to wander around, pet the pigs and grab a fresh brewed takeaway coffee to sit in the sun with."

"This cafe is constantly rated one of Sydney’s best for a very good reason. The Grounds of Alexandra is a cornucopia of whimsical delights. From the farm animals (meeting the famous pig, “Kevin Bacon” is a must) to the play area, fountain and rambling paths leading through gardens and lanes bursting with flowers, statues and tiny creative details, the external grounds at The Grounds is, in itself, worth a visit alone."

"Affectionately known as ‘The Duck’, Hotel Mosman is the place to go if you want some respite from the relentless hustle-bustle of Military Road. You can sit yourself at either one of its extensive bars: the newly renovated lower level bar looks out on to Boronia House gardens so you’ll get plenty of warm, natural light during the day. Otherwise, head to the venue’s ‘Upper Duck’ or Garden View Terrace which also offers similar views of the enchanting gardens!"

"This local pub offers food, drinks, and entertainment across two levels. Serving local and international beers, wines, and house and classic cocktails, Hotel Mosman is your quintessential ‘local’. There is a garden-view deck for al fresco drinks and dining as well as a buzzy bar for bumping shoulders and making friends."

"For respite from the relentless traffic of Military Road pop into the Hotel Mosman for some of the cheapest steaks north of the bridge. They keep the kitchen open until midnight for all you hungry night owls."

"This Darlinghurst icon is one Sydney venue that has not lost its mojo in recent years, adding to its 20-year legacy as one of the city’s most vibrant night (and day) clubs. Club 77 has transformed from a rave bunker to a stylish underground bar over the years, but has retained its techno tunes – the stark red neon light and cool clientele set the mood for a weird and wonderful night."

"Dance to DJs each week at Sydney’s home of late-night dance, with a history of over 20 years. “Can’t wait to let free and express myself in a safe, underground space!"

"Pitt StreetWhether you’re looking for a good watering hole for after-work drinks or a meal to share, Babylon Rooftop is always packed with city dwellers indulging in middle eastern fare and vino. Located in the heart of the city, Babylon offers Levant cuisine, also known as the food you would find in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Isreal, including flatbread with za’atar, grilled lambs tongue, whole wood-fired chicken, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder."

"For those on the hunt for romantic restaurants in Sydney with a view, Babylon is one of our top recommendations. The gorgeous outdoor terrace is adorned with pretty festoon lighting and toasty heaters for when the chill sets in. Swing by in the week to feast on Middle Eastern cuisine, from loaded flatbreads to smoked beef short ribs and wood-fired kebabs."

"Babylon is more than happy to satisfy your cravings with a menu of elevated mezze and Middle Eastern classics. Whether you're searching for chilled out dates or client meetings, this rooftop spot is sure to impress."

"Far less popular than the touristy Bondi to Coogee hike, the Spit to Manly Walk is a quieter alternative with more natural busy and varied views. A stunning day hike along the North Sydney harbor coastline that weaves its way through a mix of lush bushland and scenic harbourside trails with secluded beaches, indigenous rock carvings, and panoramic lookouts along the way. You can hike the 10km (6.2 miles) trail in 3.5 hours in a hurry, but I recommend you take your time and enjoy the sights and sounds."

"If you fancy stretching your legs, the walk from Manly to Spit Bridge is a pleasant 2-3 hour coastal walk with amazing views over the ocean. Catch the ferry to Manly harbour and head round the coast – make sure not to miss the ancient aboriginal carvings along the way. When it comes to free things to do in Sydney, this is one of the most popular for good reason."

"If you’re vegan, stop and drop everything - we’ve just found a cafe that has graciously made life a little sweeter with playful desserts, donuts and a full brekkie and lunch menu that are all prepared with the best naturally gluten-free ingredients!. At Nutie, they are all about ‘having your cake and eating it too!. Find them at: 44 Holt St,Surry Hills | 13 Beattie St, Balmain"

"This is the go-to place for chemist-enthusiasts who relish the sweet treat of watching your ice cream created from scratch with liquid nitrogen. Watching the servers mix up beakers of goodness over the counter never fails to amaze me every single time. I never thought it possible to have ice cream with flavours like Deconstructed Apple Strudel or Jam Donut, much less have it taste good!"

"Try the banana cream pie, one of our favourite pies in Sydney, combining a foolproof balance between generous servings of banana, sweet caramel and cream. Part of the philosophy of the milk bar is for people to visit with their friends to enjoy American sweet delicacies like pies, cookies, cotton candy and ice cream sandwiches. However, they've also included dinner specialities like gourmet burgers and hot dogs as well as more adventurous dishes like a New Orleans BBQ Shrimp ($28) and A&W Root Beer Braised Chuck Steak ($24)."
