Donny's Bar

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, one of my faves

We had a great time at Donny’s. Food was delicious and atmosphere really good.

We had the best evening. Amazing food, cocktails, live music and service. We planned to just have dinner but ended up staying the whole night.

The food, drinks and service was amazing! Between 5-7pm is happy hour, you get to make the most of 2-for-1 cocktails and $5 wines and beers. Highly recommend.

Second time going to Donny's Bar, as usual a great night out. The meal was delicious, we were able to choose a few smaller share plates then shared a main. It also coincided with happy hour and live music, which made it even better. The staff are lovely and the cocktails are great - would highly recommend

Great night out

Food, service and restaurant all amazing! Our favourite first table and we’ve done many!

Has a great atmosphere, music and outside eating. Great drinks at Happy Hour.

Great music, great vibe, fantastic service with very good recommendations on wine and food. I had the steak - incredible! Cooked to perfection - great flavour in the sauce. The salmon looked amazing too as did the burger! Will definitely be going back - could not fault the evening.

A funky little bar serving awesome cocktails, great food and friendly staff all in a buzzing atmosphere.

Fantastic night! Staff amazing, food sensational and live music incredible. Love this place

Wonderful food and drinks at a great price. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great meal, great value, great atmosphere. We have dined here before and the food was better than we remembered. We probably slightly over-ordered as you can never be sure how big "share plates" are going to be, but theirs are definitely on the generous side. Added bonus of live music and happy hour - we will definitely return!

Amazing staff!

Wow - the service and food exceeded expectations. Donny's have struck a perfect balance between funky casual and attentive friendly service. The beef carpaccio and cauliflower salad in particular were delicious, paired with a beautiful selection of wines.

Super meal! Good service from great staff! Busy, bustling, wine bar atmosphere adding to the overall experience! Will definitely be booking again.....

Excellent food and a lovely quiet spot upstairs

I had an excellent night starting with great service and ending with great food and drink. House beer is always a safe bet, and there's a broad choice of other drinks available if you like other things.

The grilled Chorizo & Leek & Manchego Croquettes were recommended by the waitress and they didn't disappoint, super yummy! The salmon was a decent size and perfectly cooked - definitely worth ordering. Wasn't a a complete fan of the Zucchini salad (hence a 4 instead of a rating), I liked the corn but the sauce & loads of onion didn’t win me over- and it's more that I don't like onion.

A great place for dinner, drinks with friends with a wide selection of dining available upstairs - if the outside tables haven't already been snatched up.
Will go back for food again!

Been to Donnys before, and liked it so much I went back for more! Double bonus if you get a First Table booking as it's then happy hour.
We had yet another great night with fab food and friendly service. Specially love that the mezzanine restaurant section still gets the vibe and great live music from the bar below, And that there's a big mix of customers - so all ages feel welcome.

Amazing food, amazing venue and vibe, the staff were so accommodating and attentive and most importantly the happy hour smooth cocktails were on point. We chose the 'staff picks' option of sharing food and there was so much great variety from different meats, seafood and vego options...everyone was happy! A must go!!!!

Love going to Donnys Bar. Great atmosphere with live music. Friendly energetic staff. Quality food and drinks with lots of choices.

Avoid the 'super egg' on the menu. Not a go to choice. Especially if you are ordering share plates

Delicious food, cocktails and wine! I was happy to find that we enjoyed the food more than the last time we visited a few years ago, which was soon after it opened :-)

The staff were very attentive courteous and prompt. It was a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious.

Great atmosphere with live music, tapas style menu and cocktails to die for (nearly did the next day hehe). Staff happy to be there which is always a plus.

Great cocktails and food reasonably priced. Music & decor great part of the experience. Would definitely return.

Friendly staff, very attentive and food was excellent.

Warm welcome on arrival. Happy hour drinks were great. Had the fried chicken, strip sirloin, salmon and zucchini salad. All dishes were well presented good serving size and fresh tasting. Restaurant is a loft above the buzzing bar downstairs. Staff here are friendly, helpful and make the evening enjoyable. Would go again

Such a buzzy bar with great share plates

A fabulous Friday night out, absolutely scrumptious cocktails, delicious food and friendly and efficient service! Highly recommend for a chilled night out. The live music Is an added bonus to what is already a funky vibes Venue.

Always have a great time at Donny's as it's one of my favourite bars in Manly! The atmosphere upstairs is great, yummy food and excellent wines for happy hour! Service was awesome as well

Fantastic food, service and cocktails. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks very much!

Donny's Bar had a great vibe and food and service first class. Cocktails very tasty. Will go back soon.

Had an awesome girl's night out at Donny's bar. First time eating there so the staff were very helpful when ordering. Fantastic personable service, tasty as food and delicious cocktails! Would definitely recommend and we'll be heading back soon for sure!

Ambience/ lights music on point.
Food was great. Waitress on top level very friendly.

Great atmosphere and very attentive service. It was happy hour too so we got $5 wine and half price cocktails - Great night had by all.

We loved the vibe! The funky spiral staircase lead us to an Art Deco mezzanine level where we were treated by uber cool staff and a menu to match! The perfect girls night out with live music downstairs to enjoy. Thank you!

Great atmosphere in this cosy restaurant/bar in Manly. Subdued lighting and rustic decor add great ambience. Happy hour is 5-7 and First Table is for 6pm, so you get the best of both worlds. We started off with cocktails - two for the price of one - and then started on the food commencing with the pumpkin dip - which was a generous serving. The toast was hot and it would have been nice if the dip was warm or at least room temperature rather than fridge cold.- a minor gripe. For the main shares (ordered one at a time) we had the skirt steak followed by the salmon. Given the generosity of the pumpkin dip, we were a little disappointed that the steak consisted of only 3 strips. It is designed to share, so 4 would have satisfied more. The salmon (again, 3 pieces, but by then we were getting sated) and spiced brussel sprouts - delicious. Music was being set up as we left so next time, we would hang around at the bar. We will definitely visit again.

Really friendly service and great meals. Will definitely be back.

Loved the atmosphere n cosy earthy feel. Food n staff excellent. Definitely a great night out with friends. Sal.

Had a fantastic drinks and meal at Donny's. Between the very generous food servings and the delicious drinks, we rolled out.

Staff were friendly and food was really tasty!

The food was superb, we were really impressed. The cocktails were great too. We'll be back again soon.

Great choices, amazing food, and live music. Dine here for sure.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere!! The menu could be a little bigger though, thats all!

We had a great night at little Donny's. Beautiful food, great selection of cocktails and lively atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

I shared a few dishes with some friends. I loved the chorizos, croquettes and the steak the most however everything we had was nice. We were nicely surprised by the brownie too! Very yummy! First time I tried the menu as I usually go for drinks and the wonderful live musics. I highly recommend to go there for dinner.

Everyone knows if Donny's for live music and great cocktails but it's not somewhere that we had thought to eat in before. The food was excellent. Quite a short menu but definitely a good variance. We had the Chorizo, Skirt Steak, Chicken Skewers, Asparagus and Sweet Potato Chips. Everything was incredible and the portions were great value for money. I only wish we could have stayed for dessert. The service was excellent too! We will definitely be going back!

This is a great place for any occasion! We loved every aspect of the dinner - the service was excellent (especially for dietary requirements) the food was exceptionally tasty and the atmosphere was awesome. Highly recommend.
