One of my favourite bars in Manly! It’s small however has Cool vibes, nice staff and great deals including happy hour 5-7pm 2-4-1 Cocktails woo! The food is really good also.
Great little find. Quirky decor, relaxed atmosphere. Popped in on a Friday evening, had some of the share plates and the cheeseboard. Pricey wine, but good selection. Pleasant staff, no complaints! Will def visit again.

Donny's Bar has a real charm to it incorporating a two-storey New York loft style with a relaxed Australian bar. They have a great menu too - dumplings and modern Australian tapas with a bit of an Asian influence.
Richie's signature dish follows - Barramundi & Salmon Wellington. Twice baked Tasmanian salmon & ocean barramundi stuffed w/ baby capers, roast capsicum, sun dried tomato, garlic prawns, asparagus layered on a basil & lime puree.
Great small bar! Blood oran.... Great small bar!
Blood orange and chilli margaritas were perfect
Friendly bar staff, fantastic live music. Will be back
What an experience! Atmosph.... What an experience!
Atmosphere ++ & a barman with ultimate flair
I will go as far as saying the Goodlooking Swedish man behind the bar is a creative Mixologist bringing a touch of Europe to Manly.
An experience not to be missed and planets ahead of similar bars/eateries located on the Manly Esplanade.
Donny's is a must see Destination
Amazing. Came here for an anniversary with my girlfriend, I cannot fault this place, apart from the fact I may be a bit too bulky to travel down your spiral staircase after enjoying just a good meal. Came here on a groupon voucher for a 3 course dinner, booking was accepted on the night. How do I even begin the food was amazing, the service was exceptional and very efficient. Try this for time, me and my partner finished a 3 course, cooked to perfection in an hour! The chef is very skilled and open to suggestions. The place is tucked in an alley, I loved the atmosphere and design of the restaurant, perfect for a catch up or an intimate gathering. I will definitely come back. Keep up the good work!!
Diamond in the rough. This venue is well worth the detour off the main strip. The service was impeccable - we were well attended, staff was cheerful and the timing of the deliveries was perfect. The dumplings are great and far better than those I've had in Chinatown. The mezze plates were ideal for the four of us, with ample warm bread served with good quality dips. The tapas plates which followed were reasonably good value - they were great quality and priced accordingly. Thankfully, despite what I've read elsewhere, our wine was served in wine glasses, rather than jars, so don't believe all that you read in past reports! The venue itself is lovely. The live music helps to create a relaxed and friendly environment. The downstairs area was quite crowded and noisy upon our arrival at around 7pm (which could be great if not intending to dine downstairs), but thankfully the seating area upstairs was quieter, very comfortable and more amenable to dining with friends.
A big thank you to you wonderful staff at Donny's!
This is my first time visit to Sydney, so I got on the cruise and arrived Manly Beach. We had a Tuesday special steak , very good fries and steak. We also asked the bar to prepare two cocktails, which were very delicious.
Very relaxing here and enjoy the music very much 👍
Great customer service with good drinks and food was not bad (kingfish ceviche from their Cali menu was good). Music was at a good volume - not too loud. Nice location too, slightly tucked away from the main esplanade area
Such a nice vibe, playing great music for those of us born in the 90's. The happy hour special is such good value, and such delicious cocktails. Food was fantastic and staff were chill and friendly - will definitely be back.
Great place for a few late afternoon drinks outside and dog friendly. We even got given a water bowl :)
I had dinner and drinks upstairs last night and it was excellent! Food is great, amazing cocktails and great live music. It’s a special spot which I think is the best in Manly.
