Slip into your Havaianas and a sexy seaside outfit. Sip a Singapore Sling then sashay onto the dance floor.
Shore Club occupies three floors of hot seaside property. Overlooking Manly Beach, this relaxed but stylish nightspot is popular among groups of partygoers, with a cocktail bar, party tunes and a tapas menu all on offer. This combination could never be complete without fair-haired sailor-clad girls serving you drinks and fashionable cabana-inspired decor.
The ground-level is equipped with fancy lighting, high ceilings and beachy trimmings, far removed from the opulent and secluded cocktail lounge - only one level up - where you can enjoy a tipple from the impressive cocktail menu. All the classics are here, including thirst-quenching Pina Coladas, Mojitos and Bloody Marys.
Upstairs on the 'Sun Deck' roof-top terrace you can embrace Manly's impressive coastal views. Beat the crowds by starting early afternoon, then watch the sunset, eat, drink and stick around until the early hours of the morning. Tapas-style food is always welcome when alcohol is around, and you can share some olives, gnocchi or dips here - or order a pizza if you're more peckish. You can also fly solo with pasta, before partying on in the Sound Bar.
