The Bavarian Manly Wharf
The Bavarian Manly Wharf is a German restaurant located by the water in Manly that serves hearty Bavarian-style food and imported beers. The venue has seating for around 450 guests and features wooden furnishings, open indoor spaces, and outdoor areas where diners can watch boats pass by Manly Cove.
The restaurant opened in February 2005 and became a fixture in the local dining scene for nearly two decades serving Bavarian food and drinks. In mid-2023, a Brisbane-based company acquired the lease with plans to redevelop the site, leading to the venue's closure.
The name reflects Bavarian traditions, which visitors experience directly through the decor, food, and the way drinks are served in large traditional steins. The setting creates a genuine German beer hall atmosphere where social gathering and shared meals are central to how guests spend their time.
The restaurant is easily accessible from central Manly and sits near other waterfront attractions in the area. It tends to be busy on weekends and evenings, so booking ahead is recommended to secure a table for your visit.
The venue featured seven different German beers on tap and employed an in-house master butcher who made fresh sausages daily. These specialty sausages came with traditional sides like sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, creating an authentic taste experience.
