Clubbing in Manly

Report by Ipek T.

Having Fun in Manly

Clubbing in Manly is very different than home in Germany. Weekends are not the only time for partying instead the week days are even more crowded and fun. Tuesdays are called “Uni night”, which means all drinks are half off for students as well as games and activities to play. On Uni Night there are many events for students, a popular one is the beer pong tournament. If you are the winner, you can even win cash prizes!
Be careful with your money when you go clubbing in Manly, your belongings your drinks, since just like anywhere else there might be pick pockets around. Try to bring only as much cash as you need for the night. The Beach club, Shark bar, and Steyne are the most popular places to dance, drink and have a good time. These clubs are often packed with people, especially Tuesdays, Thursdays and on the weekends. If you’re wondering what to wear, these clubs have no specific dress code so you can go in flip flops and shorts!

The New Brighton Hotel

The Shark bar, as I mentioned earlier, is part of the New Brighton Hotel, located right on the Manly Corso. The first floor is called 33 degrees, and they serve lunch and dinner 7 days a week. On Mondays dinner costs 10AUD, and there is Bingo for everybody. The second floor of the New Brighton hotel is the Shark bar, which plays techno, dance, and popular music. This is a perfect spot to go clubbing in Manly!
The third floor then is the roof top, where you can eat dinner, have a few drinks with friends, look at the ocean, and watch the sunset. The beach club is located right off the Corso; on Thursdays drinks cost 5AUD until 11pm. They play a lot of famous pop music and R&B. They also have a second and third floor.

The Steyne

The Steyne is located right on the Corso has also two floors with many rooms. These rooms include bars, arcades, ping pong tables and places to get food. Steyne is more expensive than the Shark bar and The Beach Club. At night, when you’re ready to go home, make sure you travel with a group of people, or split a taxi. Though Manly is a very safe place, you might not want to walk alone in the dark especially on Darley road because there are no street lights here.
