It’s not often a Club reopens after more than a decade, but with a complete rebuild, a committed CEO and Board, and some very loyal members – The Manly Club on Gilbert Park has done just that – and indeed done it very well. 

They have created a ‘New Local’ venue which is a roaring success due to a carefully thought out plan on how to promote and engage their target market. The venue has a modern fit out complete with live plant installations which truly brings the outside in. 

The location, opposite a beautiful park tucked away from Manly’s ‘tourist trap’ venues, means it is attractive to many locals and visitors alike.

The Club has fast become a favourite, with consistent 5 star google reviews. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all top quality. 

As well as The Garage Restaurant which is the namesake of the heritage-listed building where old meets new, the Club has a bar, gaming room, bistro and sports lounge. There are craft beers on tap, an extensive wine list and affordable sophisticated cocktails to enjoy as you relax in a very appealing and well thought out interior. 

What I enjoy most is on a busy
night just sitting in a corner
and watching the happiness
in the place.
