Why it's worth checking out
The Espy sits on West Esplanade in Manly, one of Sydney's most popular northern beach suburbs. With 76 reviews behind its 3.9 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is a relaxed bar in a lovely beachside setting — a great spot for a drink, a catch-up and a bit of atmosphere, perfectly placed on the Manly foreshore near the ferry and the beach. Its location makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Drinks lists, events and trading hours change over time, and weekends can get busy. To be sure of a spot and the latest details, it's worth checking directly with the venue before you plan your visit.
