Comments of The Collaroy
R. W.
The location of the restaurant is very nice. If you can get an upstairs table, you get the ocean views.
The staff here are friendly and provide very good service.
Food served here are decent. Kids mocktail is very nice.
Recommended.
S. j.
food was incredible, great serving sizes. staff are all so friendly and took a great photo of my family when asked. quite loud but still a really nice environment.
K. M.
It’s really great here. Fantastic views, our waitress was very friendly and nothing was a problem for her and the food was delicious. They were flexible with us bringing in a birthday cake for our celebration we had and organising plates and cutlery for that. Will definitely be back, great atmosphere and vibe. Highly recommend.
r. v.
love it ..great location and loved the pizza…spacious ..friendly staff..will be back again…music a bit loud..other then that …great!!
A. S.
The favourite local! Can’t get better location, right on the beach. It’s relaxed drinking, bite, or sit down meal is it’s benefit - all occasions! Tasty food menu too and service with a smile!
M. D.
Great dine and drink place. Went there for lunch with my office. Food was great, but food service was quite slow (we had to wait for a while). Love the view right to the beach. There is an open balcony area looking straight to the beach. Internal interior is also really good. The main issue is limited carpark hours (mostly 1 hour street parking, with maximum of 2 hours). There is a nice children playing area on ground foor.
K. K.
What an enjoyable way to chill out, with good company or solo, upstairs gazing out to sea while savouring the excellent menu and drinks selection
G. W.
Beautiful view and tasty food, although they could do with a more varied menu - very Pub Food like with little salad options. A bit pricey, but worth it for the atmosphere. Parking is tricky and expensive unless you can get street parking.
N. B.
Fantastic venue and location. Great coffee and food. Really lovely staff. The Collaroy hosted our business networking meeting and there was also a mother's group there plus a few other groups. I think it is an ideal venue for these types of things.
A. F.
Top spot for a beer and some food after a surf. The Gamberi Pizza is a favourite..
S. B.
Decent enough bar with sea views and good food.
s. z.
Yummy food, great views.
J. T.
Great place by Collaroy Beach. Go for a dip and then a beer and some grub. Fresh and airy atmosphere that's casual and relaxed. Good for family and social gatherings. There's the pub and bar area and also the restaurant for a slightly more fressed up feel.
J. P.
Fantastic ambiance, food was good
S. M.
Food is fantastic from the entrees up to the massive shared meals. Charcoal lobster was also great. The place has great food and the staff are absolute Legends.
Z. N.
Best service! I had a great experience working with covey Australia and would absolutely recommend them to everyone. Thanks so much
M. S.
Food at the kiosk is quite bland. The pizza had no flavour and the steak sandwich was extremely basic. I hear the restaurant upstairs is much better so I would try that out next time. Great thing about the ground floor is the kiddies corner for those with toddlers.
G. T. C.
The atmosphere and food was 🔥👌🏻💯
V. K.
Great service and the food was amazing. They have a variety of different dishes to suit all needs. I personally thought the open kitchen was a brilliant idea. Definitely coming here again!
In a side note: the mozzarella sticks are a must.
P. S.
I head here for a meal every chance I get. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Had the fried chicken burger last time and I still dream of it regularly. Wine selection is awesome, and if you're driving they even have tasty non-alcoholic beers. Oh, and did I mention the views?
M. M.
Same old Merivale nailing it again. Great Pizza and the burger was hektik. Great view and location right on the beach. Staff are always friendly and knowledgable. Healthy options also available. Of course it comes with the price to match but thats to be excepted at such a location. Great views to be had. This place will be great in the summer time.
C. R.
Everything is first class about The Collaroy . There is plenty of parking so dont hesitate to drive but a bus from city also stops out the front. It has fabulous ocean and beach views. The food is well worth trying , I had a pizza which was superb ( but served 25 minutes late which was bizare ) and sydney rock oysters from Pambula which were fresh and flavoursome. Their wine list is excellent yet the house brand label of Felix house wines are award winning . The waitresses are gorgeous , friendly and helpfull . The Chefs know what they are doing and are highly professional. I have been visiting this Pub for 20 years and even more keen now the Hemmes Family run it. Also this place is not over priced , they are standard pub prices . But The Collaroy does have some teething problems and to just have an ice cold beer and chill out after a few hours on the beach in summer one will be better off going next door to The Club where there are less prams and kids.
V. B.
Delicious food, amazing atmosphere and the drinks are yum! I would highly recommend the mozzarella sticks and the gamberi prawn pizza. The restaurant is very clean and the staff members are great. Our waiter was super friendly and very skilled. The best server ever! She was the tall girl with the warm blonde hair! It's a nice place to go for northern beaches locals or for people to visit from other locations!
G. R.
A great little spot for lunch. The restaurant upstairs is slightly more formal than downstairs. The advantage with upstairs is you can book a table, whereas downstairs it’s first come first served. If you have kids then downstairs should be your default, so they can play and you can relax. Sitting downstairs gives you the option of eating off either upstairs/downstairs menus - so the best if both worlds. I opted for a salad, and it was delicious. Good range of drinks at the bar too.
N. B.
Great spot for a weekend lunch. Booking in advance with COVID restrictions limiting capacity. As always with any Merivale venue the service, location and menu at second to none. Parking outside the venue is timed but easily accessible, the B line bus stops just outside. Well worth a visit!
S. M.
Fantastic pub right on the beach front. I'd recommend calling ahead to make a reservation. Staff are very friendly and the whole place has a relaxed vibe.
15% surcharge on Sundays
R. H.
Right on the beach, with a relaxed atmosphere and great food.

Great pub food, friendly staff and the views are awesome. We will definitely be back
O. A.
Nice space, friendly staff yummy food. Tad on the expensive side.
K. A.
Stopped in for lunch with the family. Good pizza and liked the French fries. Good views across the bay whilst eating.
G. f.
Good service and lovely location, however very expensive for what you get
D. G.
A great location but I didn't like the ambience
R. R.
Great dine in place. Only issue is that it doesn't have easy access for wheel chair. Food is yummy and staff are good.
E.
Modern and welcoming place with sea views.
We've had 3 burgers (1 meat, 1 chicken and 1 falafel) and carbonara pasta, all tasty and filling.
That's a wonderful restaurant to chilling out after spending the day at the beach.
K. S.
excellent food , the views and you can get cocktails tuned to your taste buds!
G. L.
Nice setting by the water, and cool vibe but that's not quite enough nowadays. All self service and frustratingly no sauce available. Food is average and not worth the $$ unfortunately. They just need to pick up the portion sizes a bit and offer more sauce or a salad for the prices they charge. Was disappointed
F. R.
Hmmmm love this place and staff are really friendly especially upstairs but do not expect too much in the mornings which is a shame as such a good spot for breakfast. Bit over priced too
G. M.
This place is what we’re missing in the area. The atmosphere is amazing, it’s like casual and sophisticated at the same time. It’s not pretentious but super nice. The food is super nice, but if you have allergies like gluten intolerance the menu is a bit restricted. I highly recommend their dinner menu for those week nights you’re too busy to cook.
A. A.
Good food, the music was a bit loud for midday. Cool atmosphere and friendly staff.
T. S.
Beautiful location great ambience but don't get one glass of champagne 2/3rds full, flat and grumpy bar tenders ... They could do better
K. A.
Stopped in for lunch with the family. Good pizza and liked the French fries. Good views across the bay whilst eating.
C. D.
Great view, great service yummy food!
H. S.
Amazing food and drinks. This place is back post lockdown in all its glory. Great restaurant service by the wonderful Eileen 👏
A. P.
Good relaxed atmosphere, the fit out complements the location, the food is in keeping. I'd rather be here than the (Newport) Arms - it's less "epic".
Was back at the Collaroy again after a Covid enforced absence... and it's still a great place for an informal catch-up, and while the food is still good, the stand out this visit was the staff... wonderful, warm, friendly and accommodating.
Great hospitality is more than a good wine list and good food... it starts & ends with the staff who make it happen... Well done guys & girls... you kick it out of the park!
L. B.
Beautiful bar. Great coffee. No vegan options in Cafe. Nice staff. Cute kids play corner.
S. K.
Great location. Unless you are into pizza or pasta for lunch the menu options are quite limited. Portion size is small for the prices
D. B.
Part cocktail bar/pub, part restaurant. But 100% killer beachfront views.
C. O.
Excellent food, happy hour 5-7pm
Great atmosphere

Nice space, friendly staff yummy food. Tad on the expensive side.

Staff very helpful with gluten free options.
C. G.
The pizza is the standout !
N. G.
The Collaroy is so beautiful after renovations! Well done Merivale, super friendly staff and great atmosphere, so nice to come for a drink after a swim
C. M.
Great vibe! The upstairs is very open and has great views of the beach!
J. A. U.
The Collaroy is my favorite restaurant/pub in Collaroy. Easy to get by car or bus. Plenty of carpark. Wheelchair accesible entrance. Nice and friendly staff. Very good pizzas or yumi burgers. Upstairs you can have an awesome ocean view while having dinner. At the moment (2020) there is Salsa dance on Friday nights. Defenitely a great place to have a good time.
K. F.
Great location & amazing views!
J. S.
Very good ocean view and delightful food and drinks at good cost
E. T.
Great views, great food for a pub. Can get busy at the restaurant
E. B.
Service of food needs improvement but lovely venue
M. H.
Great views. Good selection of wines and reasonable pub standard food.
Excellent for a family or group get together on the balcony. Recommended.
C. F.
I had a catch up with my son at The Collaroy. We had planned to go to the movies but it was closed on that day. We crossed the road to The Collaroy and my son had a very enjoyable lunch (I had already eaten) and I picked at a bowl of warm olives. We both ordered affogato which was delicious. It turned into a very long and immensely enjoyable lunch.
G. S.
Great food and service, love the location too!
C. L.
Food is always of a consistently high standard, paired with relaxing view of Collaroy and Narrabean beaches. To round it out the staff are well trained, friendly, and attentive.
A place where a regularly drop in to work through emails when I need a change of scenery.
G. f.
Good service and lovely location, however very expensive for what you get
I. D.
I've only ever had the share plates, and that's all you need to have. The Octopus, Salmon, and Lamb Meatballs are all great. Beer selection is average, nothing that will blow you out of the water. Scenery a solid 10/10 which is enough of a reason to come here.
A. D. F.
Sensational variety of food and brilliant drinks, highly recommend the frozen cocktail
A.
The pub ambience is pleasant. Really nice place to relax and have a couple of beers. Food was really good. Kudos to the kitchen staff ! Will definately come back for more:)
R. Y.
Fantastic staff. They were very friendly. They accommodated for my dietary requirements and were very nice, honest and helpful. The restaurant is neat and clean and has great ocean views. Definitely recommended!
C. B.
Amazing service :)
P. M.
Great place for lunch. Food was good and well priced
S. D.
The food was amazing loved the fish and fresh oysters 😋 😍
B. V. S.
Amelia was our server and recommended the oysters and scallops and wow were they amazing. All the staff were super friendly which rounded out a delicious lunch. Thanks team.
D. G.
A great location but I didn't like the ambience
M. H.
Great food cold beer only downside downstairs bar very noisy due to kids area
A. O.
Great food, view and drinks. A bit crowded.
J. S.
LOVE THIS PLACE! The aesthetic, the food, the drinks, the location and the staff! A couple of my friends went out for dinner recently here and we met one of the staff members Lily! She is so sweet, genuine and personable and has such a great attitude while she's working which is rare for people to have! I've been served by her a few times and she's always so lovely and warm, I needed to leave a review because she made such an impression of my friends and I!
M. C.
Wow.
Tuna bruchetta, mouth watering 😋
Octopus 🐙 sooo tender and delicious omg.
Loved it.
Welcome back.
G. R.
Amazing location , greate sea view. Loved the fish menue.
O. B.
Great view. Good selection of beers on tap. Good staff. Did I mention the great view!?
J. B.
Trendy cute place both upstairs and down which was very child friendly making the downstairs area great for families. We ordered upstairs but when it came to the actual food rather than being large and filling....the rigatoni i had ...like the place itself was cute and dainty. Be prepared to pay a lot of money for a serving size that might satisfy a 10 year old. I guess that is the Collaroys way of getting you to order entree and/or dessert.
d. S.
Great ambiance. Nice pub with wonderful views.
N. J.
We dinned upstairs yesterday for lunch on the balcony, beautiful views best spot in the house! Our food was so delicious, I had the Market fish of the day Barumundi it was first class, the favour of the basil pesto and butter lettuce was light, elegant and fragrant, I loved it so much!! Both my partner and friend had burgers, the beef and spicy chicken burgers with chips which they loved! Thanks for a lovely lunch in the sunshine, we will be back!!
R. F.
Super beachy vibe, with unique tasty meals. The trout was incredible and the iced tea washed it down perfectly.
J. G.
Really nice atmosphere, good staff and service, great food, family friendly. The drawback is the price for the serving size. Ordered from the menu and the servings were small and played pretty lazily. Should have ordered from the salad bowl bar. They looked much more substantial so will try that next time.
R. H.
Right on the beach, with a relaxed atmosphere and great food.
b. k.
Great place to eat and enjoy the beautiful surroundings
B. t. A. P.
Fantastic view and DJ. The food is also delicious with a fair price.
A. M.
Nice, friendly location. Love the salsa events on Friday night
M. W. H.
When went on a wet and miserable day and unfortunately it seemed it also effected the staff. Hard to get attention and the certainly didn't bring out starters before the main. The basics were good. Burgers and shniddy was. Little disappointed with the linguini
D. B.
Nice beach atmosphere with great views of the beach
R. M.
So noisy!! My chicken parmigiana was fried to death & so dry. Very disappointing
L. G.
The food was generous and fish n chips nice. staff were very accommodating to our group with mobility aids ensuring we had appropriate seating, very polite and helpful. Outlook perfect and nice Decor No disability toilet wax only small issue
G. A.
Excelente Salsa Dance lessons on Friday nights
A. T.
Food was great. Had the tuna salad. They also have white Rabbit (dark ale) on tap. View is spectacular if not a little closer after the storm surf/king tide a few years ago. Staff are helpful and friendly. They are happy to share advice and personal favourites from the menu.
M. C.
Really nice pub/bistro, fun staff and good food, industrial decor and a great view over the beach from the north windows.
Recently went back for breakfast, some really unusual choices, food was great, lovely Outlook towards the beach. Service has always been awesome, lots of fun
You can walk off breakfast around the headland to long Reef, fantastic way to start the morning
F. C.
The lamb rigatoni was very good, but the linguine with bug was rather tasteless.
K. R.
Great location, amazing looking venue, can be quite noisy and fills up quickly when busy.. Staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend.
B. C.
The Collaroy is just brilliant! Awesome food, great service and a space that caters for everyone. The venue was packed from top to toe but didn't feel overwhelming. Amazing spot for families. Everyone I was with raved how good the new Collaroy was. Highly recommend this spot for some great times with family and friends and then easily move to the beach or park for the kids to have some fun!
L. H.
The space is great. Easy to book for a large group. Staff are very professional,friendly and highly competent. I had pork belly for dinner, too salty for my taste. I do eat Asian heavy food so I do have high tolerance to salt but yeh...not keen. everyone in my party did enjoyed their food so probably just a bad choice for me :)
J. D.
5 adults & 1 child, all meals excellent. Great choices available. Staff super nice & great at what they do.
They could do with some higher high chairs for the taller seating as most of the seating is that format.
It does get a little noisy when talking, not an issue for us though.
Right on the beach, what a view on a nice day like today!
K.
The setup of the upstairs and downstairs areas is a bit confusing. Some food can only be ordered upstairs, some only downstairs. Some staff say they're happy to deliver between the levels, others say it can't be done. Who knows?
We've been a few times now, and the food has always been pretty good (except for the meatballs, those were dry and crumbly.) The staff are always real friendly, and there's a great view!
K. O.
Had such a great experience at The Collaroy last night! We had a drink at the bar and the staff were very attentive and welcoming. The restaurant had a great ambiance! I loved the food, the kingfish was my favourite! Brittney looked after us and she did a great job. Will definitely return. :)
J. S.
Very well served portions. Friendly staff. Large menu. You will definitely have an Italian feast visiting Caruso’s.
M. B.
Great place, but $10 for a bowl of out of the packet frozen chips. They are just potatoes!! Talk about having a laugh! Hand cut and triple fry them if your charging 10 bucks! Generally the food and service is outstanding. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the above gripe.
M. W.
Overall, I was underwhelmed, as I was expecting more for a Merivale hotel. Food was just ok, however, our bar tender was extremely helpful (which is why I gave 4 stars).
I reckon it would the perfect place for a cold drink (or a few) with mates in Summer.
B. P.
Reasonable views. Only traditional breakfast item on the menu was a bacon and egg roll. Everything else was a "bowl", some possibly exotic, others not so much. Menu does not match available options. Ordering iced coffee does not mean that you get the one described on the menu.
S. A.
Really nice place and great atmosphere. Unfortunately the linguine was flavourless and could be done much better, felt a little sick after eating it. My partner had the steak which was good.
H. R.
Great Pub, great location
Friendly staff, delicious food, excellent setting. The place had a nice vibe: high ceilings, partial view of the ocean. Food is reasonable, they take bookings.
M. M.
Had a great afternoon function with a big family spanning a few generations and enjoyed the experience.
Food covers the standards you would expect of a beach pub - I rate it for comfort and service, as well as location, but food and beverage probably won't amaze you.
You won't go hungry or thirsty though!
Nice little kids play area that is a bit different, and close to the collaroy beach public play area which is great for toddlers and primary schoolers.
Enjoyable, comfortable, worth a visit.
D. C.
Situated in an Old Amusement Hall that has been tastefully renovated, with a split level arrangement, it has great food and a superb beach front outlook.
There is also an excellent bar with enthusiastic clientele, great friendly company, a very pleasant afternoon!
D. R.
Staff are still working it out we were told we couldn’t order pizzas downstairs but then when placing the order we could and we were so happy because they were amazing! The vibe is cool the design is stylish beach chic and so very merivale! Definitely worth a try!
s. j.
Lovely casual dining space, with a varied and interesting menu. Family friendly and the food was delicious. Three of us opted for the grilled barramundi with fennel salad and were not disappointed.
K. R.
One of my favorite bars in Sydney. Chilled out, excellent service ... all the staff have a great can do attitude. Love the mango cocktail and a great selection of food that can be served upstairs or downstairs
B. M.
Beautiful views of Collaroy beach, with a nice relaxed vibe. Service has been excellent on my visits, with super friendly staff that look after you. Sensibly priced considering the view, with decent food. Recommend the pork ragu. A little light on vegetarian options sadly.
S. T.
Stunning place with ocean views of Collaroy beach, nice and relaxed place to have some drinks or dine - great kids menu. They do good wildfire pizzas. Quick walk away from park area and the ocean pool, and just opposite the beach.
S. C.
Great location - view, sun, sand. The restaurant is family friendly and good up keep. Can get busy, so enjoy the place while waiting for food. The Soft Shell Crab bun is notable, yum!
j. c.
good atmosphere except i ordered a vanilla milk shake in hope that it would be thick and rich in flavour and it ended up tasting like milk. I then complained nicely and the waiter came back and said “we just use milk and ice cream”.. what is this! (pizza was good)
M. C.
Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. We really like The Collaroy, the food is very good and reasonably priced considering the location, etc. The staff are the best- very attentive without being intrusive, very friendly and polite. Just a great place for breakfast, lunch (and probably dinner, we've not been for dinner yet).
A. S.
If you haven't been here yet, you need to go. The renovations are beautiful and the menu is out of control delicious. Definitely order one of the salad options as they are just delicious. If you're being naughty the waffle fries are also incredible. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area or feel like checking out a beach side spot.
A. H.
Had a great few hours. I wish I'd booked but only had to wait 20 minutes. Covid safe. Convenient food and wide variety of drinks. Nice clientelle too.
t. c.
Located at the northern part of Collaroy shops, this Indian cuisine restaurant has excellent dishes, we shared. Service friendly and the restaurant itself roomy. Also alcoholic beverages are served as well.
G. C.
Come to The Collaroy for the amazing views looking up Collaroy and Narrabeen beaches, and the relaxed vibe. It's recently been refurbished with very cool decor inside, and looks fantastic. I've been there twice and the food was average - the burger was dry the first time and raw the second. Although the staff were friendly when you got their attention, it has been a bit hit and miss. I'd come here for a beer with friends on a summer's day, it's perfect for that.
K. P.
Superb view, good value food! Had a great veal snitz. High recommend for a lunch booking. Good job with the social distancing too!
D. H.
Food was nice and reasonably priced. Service did their best to look after our large table. However we did feel rushed out of the place at the cost of getting any dessert or coffees.
E. H.
So happy to visit tonight and not see one plastic straw in sight! Good work. About time you started to help to save the planet. Bamboo straws all round!!! Also had a lovely meal and drinks. Keep up the environmental friendly work.
F. S.
Fantastic location, litterally on the beach. The Collaroy is a typical Australian Hotel providing food and drinks, good quality, good price. Staff is very nice usually! 1st floor is better as it offers more choice for food and offers stunning views on Collaroy beach until Narrabeen beach. Good pizzas, cheap and descent kids menu, and classical courses are all worthy trying! Ground floor offers an entertainment space for children! Great idea! Priceless for parents of young Families!!
M.
Walked-in on Saturday and accomadated immediately - even got a seat with a view! Drinks, food, atmosphere and service was AMAZING!!
Highly recommend!!
Thank you 😊
K. M. (. K.
This is very nice Hotel. It is kid friendly with a little kids area. The variety of "bowls" were great. I had the Vietnamese style bowl which rivival my favorite viet shops! Plus the beach was a nice visit after our meal!
J. O.
The Kiosk at The Collaroy is sublime. Superb food choices. Delicious coffee and tea. Spectacular views. Sensational seating and decor settings. Comfortable, peaceful surroundings right on Collaroy beach. Delightful friendly staff, polite, fast service, attentive with very professional skills too. The atmosphere is set with the high roof, the long tables in the centre, rows of higher seating settings along the windows to take advantage of the glorious views. There are also.lounge chairs where a family with babies was settled for a lovely gathering. Wheelchair accessible through front entrance. Convenient parking. Easily accessed by public transport as well.
T. E.
I have been here a few times before but wow they have improved on great. Service was great, staff were very friendly and attentive and kept ensuring the packed dining area were constantly looked after. The manager himself comes around ensuring service is in order and I am very happy to write it was perfect. Well done The Collaroy!
Service from Lilly
Manager Luke
J. G.
Great ambience and a great place to have a meal or just a drink. Lighting and furniture have been well thought out, this place is inviting and has a beautiful view. Always bustling and full of gorgeous people. Love it!
M. v. S.
Merivale have done what Public House group couldn't and have turned this place into what I'd consider one of the best beach side restaurant / pubs in the beaches well worth heading to the Collaroy for lunch and beer. Can get pretty busy though so best to book.
D. P.
Southern comfort now available! Recommend the prawns!
j. L.
A lovely place went with one of my mates. Knew one of the staff and had a pleasant experience. Food was great and enjoyed it very much. Only wished that they had a set time of closing due to arriving and having to order quickly due to kitchen closing at a random time.
A. M.
Great place with beautiful views, very nice and relaxed vibe. Staff is great and coffee pretty ok. The location is one of the best.
C. S.
I don't get it. Burgers upstairs, not downstairs. Order upstairs get then take down. Drinking bar seems to be downstairs but only salad bowls. The new decor is pleasant but the lack of sound insulation makes downstairs extremely loud if the windows aren't open and it's over half full.
Been twice thinking teething issues but still seems a bit chaotic. On the plus if you can get food it's bloody brilliant.
L. D.
Upstairs of The Collaroy (accessible by a lift or stairs) is a bright and breezy venue. The food is fresh and the service is very obliging.
J. P.
The staff were great but food was ordinary.. chicken wings were tough and dry. Would go for drinks but not food.
J.
Amazing service. To the guy agreed to swap the egg in the meal I wanted for mushroom to make it vegan, it was a simple action but no other restaurant has ever agreed to do this for me before, it meant a lot, thank you
S. H.
Awesome renovation with a trendy yet relaxed vibe. Some of the best pizza you'll find in Sydney. We ate upstairs. Loved it and been there 4 times already with different friends.

I went to The Collaroy the other week for lunch, and it was superb! The staff were all really friendly, and the food delicious and fresh! I would highly recommend the Vitality salad with prawns- possibly the best salad I've ever had in a restaurant! The décor was beautiful and really bought out the colours of the sweeping view up the coast.
Will be heading back soon!!

It wasn't bad for a Saturday pub lunch. Pizza price was pretty reasonable and the quality and flavour was decent. Service was a little slow with the orders and bill but not terrible. Atmosphere was very Merivale.
". ".
I had an amazing experience last night at Collaroy. Britney looked after us, she was lovely and made our night very enjoyable. Food was fantastic, wines and drinks were on point. I am define-te coming back, well worth the trip from the eastern suburbs.
R. F.
Nice ambient and good food. The wood fire over pizzas are great.
Beautiful view from Collaroy beach with friendly staff.
M. K.
Great spot to have some overpriced food and drink.
S. D.
Two story. Food, coffee, alcoholic drinks. Good atmosphere. Nice view over the beach.
A. C.
Excellent for lunch - great views + lovely staff - thank you!
L. D.
Great view and layout. If i'm paying $18 for a cocktail - teach the staff how to make them or don't offer them. I have seen on many occasions terribly made half full espresso martini's where even the bartender can see they don't know what they are doing
J. D. S.
Great place. Very delicious burgers! The chefs take great pride and cook their meals to perfection. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff! Good prices too!
S. H.
It's a beautiful café with a great view. Right next to the ocean. It's industrial style. They have a room for kids to play. Coffee and food is very good. Sundays they charge you extra.
There's a parking spot almost right next to the café.
A. G.
A nice pub to relax and watch the footy whilst grabbing some food and drinks. The downstairs area is a decent size and the service is reasonably quick.
If you are tempted to get your dancing shoes on, the upstairs area has a DJ and dance floor.
B. B.
This place has been renovated recently and has a great athmosphere, situated on the beach at Collaroy. They do all meals, kids have a decent play area, there is also a busy, buzzy restaurant upstairs, but dont try to talk to each other, too noisy! Sorry! Not exactly cheap either..
L. K.
Great views but for the prices charged you would think they would take your orders from the table.
Z. W.
Top location with views, friendly service and great food. Usual favourite fare and not too pricy. You might even snag a park outside but better to get the bus to the door so you can get on the cans.
M.
We had one of their pizza's there upstairs looking out onto the ocean. Very nice. Had table service for drinks too so that was a nice suprise. No need to order food or drinks at the bar..
D. C.
Great venue, staff were fabulous and the food was delish! You should definitely check it out.
E. B.
Lovely place. Would be awesome if they had some vegetarian options other than pizza & a salad. 3/5 for me.
J. K.
Three stars. Lucky to get that considering we can't drink beers where we smoke ciggies at 11am.
14 bucks for a bacon and egg roll 28 bucks for 2, add a beer and a juice we got a dollar change from a 50.
Very beachy and nice and the staff were lovely because they looked away when I skulked my beer.
T. D.
The food was delicious. The wine is overpriced and we did not get a view, so don't expect to, you might get lucky.
P. R.
Ordered a latte and a mocha, got a cap and a chai. Feel like I'm bothering the bar staff when I put them out by ordering and paying for things. Have a kids play room and high chairs, but tables with bar stools which dont suit kids. Have full menu til 5pm then only pizza. Overall very confused.
T. E.
Good to see the Northern Beaches stepping up its game. Day time was a small menu but tasty and fun area for the kids to play. So everyone was happy!
S.
Since the latest renovation it has lost its local appeal. With concrete floors it can be so loud you can’t hear the person in front of you. The expensive prices don’t reflect the quality of the food and drinks. Collaroy is not Bondi. The best part of The Collaroy is it’s location and fantastic views.
A. M.
Great pub with a nice mixed crowd and good staff. More a place for groups than couples due to the noise levels. Hard floors, walls and pillars make it a shouty place!
J. M.
Food was ok. Service was average. Got our meals wrong sent a childs meal vs adults. So I had to wait and no apology. Nice place visually but probably won't return
A. S.
Great food in a relaxed beachside setting!
D. B.
Nice food but the staff ask for a tip while saying that there's 'no obligation'. Of course there isn't. Australia thankfully doesn't have an American tipping culture, so I'll only tip if the service is special and I'm not asked.
C. M.
Great place to come and enjoy a few drinks and fantastic location.
Staff friendly and attentive.
It does get very busy though so finding a place to sit can be tough.
S. L.
Great coffee and amazing view
D. P.
A lovely pub restaurant with a real beaches feel. The staff were very pleasant.
A. G.
Great food. Amazing views!
J. D.
One of the best views in the city! Great atmosphere, lovely people , and delicious food! What more does one want.....
A.
Nice place, tasty menu, great spot next to the beach
A. C.
Been here many times and always fantastic. Great vibe and food is always great.
C. A.
Heard a lot of hype about the new renos and menu...it lived up to it all!Place fits in perfectly on the beach, staff are smiling and those Fish Tacos will be getting a solid workout from my new local!!! My only qualm, though the Tap Beer is crisp and cold, it could show a bit more variety....
You will be seeing a lot of me once I get signed up for the local membership card!
Cheers,
Charchie
A. M.
Fantastic view, great selection of beers and friendly staff. Love this place
L. M.
Great fish and chips, loved the food here. very fast service.
k. m.
Overpriced. $20 for coffee and a bacon and egg roll. Nice decor and food but you'll get the same quality for a more decent price just across the road.
J. M.
Our local pub and we are lucky to have such an awesome place. The prices aren't low but the quality and view and place are stunning. We love going there.
S. W.
A modern cozy cafe. Nice breakfast spot overlooking Collaroy beach. Breakfast menu a bit limited, but the granola & coconut yogurt bowl was delicious.
C. G.
Great food. Just a little loud if you plan on going with people you plan on trying to talk in a group
s. B.
I only had a coffee, but the service was friendly and the coffee was good. Lots of space, and nice views. A good atmosphere.
L. 4.
Covid19 safe, only had drinks . Cocktail 🍹 ok. Good specials at happy hour.
W. S.
Elements of Ye Olde Surfrock are missed; cranking dancefloor, the non temptation to purchase food (it wasnt great) alas change for thee better!
Great interior fitout and quality (well overdue) full revamp (re-opened Dec 2014) of one of the landmark pubs on the Northern Beaches.
Bar service is very good with fresh faced local employees.
They operate the bistro as take-a-numberstand-and-we-bring-the-meal service which is always refreshing for a pub rather than one of those annoying buzzers than interupts in your midst of an important conversation surrounding the latest Star Wars Ep. 7 movie.
Good selection of beers on tap and is an Aligned CUB pub.
Had my first glass of Carlton Draught Tank Beer here and gosh it was a goodie!
Also have PureBlond, some crafts (ugh) and Great Northern (The Cairns Midstrength which is quite watery, doesn't taste as good as 4XXXX - would rather have Carlton Mid overall)
They cook a damn good steak for only a small kitchen, the arincini are awesom as are the sweet potato fries (poss best on the beaches?!)
All in all a good package with views of the surf beach and plenty of parking in the immediate area.
Family friendly as has a dedicated kids play area.
Better crowd of citizen than the adjoining Collaroy Servicemans (RSL) Beach Club.
4* - good, multifaceted venue
J. H.
Went for the salsa dancing and was very happy. Not with my dancing but with the teacher and the venue.
N. G.
Great view, excellent food, friendly staff, reasonable prices
E. H.
The northern beaches is called the insular peninsula... It's an awful place to live populated with some of the least inspiring humans in Australia. In this context the Collaroy is ok.
K. L.
Too loud and still can't hear when screaming in my partners ear. The DJ does not need to play that loud at dinner time but at midnight if there was a dance floor yeah go hard - No coopers green on tap ? Sydneys most popular drop ... menu is a bit to processed should be fresher natural options
W. C.
Had an excellent white wine in a fantastic location. The menu was nit the greatest. A bit over ambitious not enough basic food
A. E.
Good meals. I had the duck breast with pomegranate salad. The fish and chip with the tartare sauce was the best I had in years. Right at the beach with spectacular views.
A. N.
Very good treatment by staff.
R. G.
Great location, great atmosphere and some pretty good food. And the beer selection is decent, although it would be good to see some of the local craft beers on tap.
R. R.
Lovely decor, pizza was delicious, and the service from our waiter was excellent.
Like everything though, some of the prices are a little steep.
M. I.
staff are great as always... a place I'm yet to come back too however. bit pricey for a casual few beers. prefer the club next door.
F. F.
Loved the chicken wings, the best I ever had, good beer and price and the view is magnificent!
J. A.
Great food, great atmosphere. Lose a point for tap beer selection (no independents) and staff, but otherwise a great spot for a feed
S.
Great value whole fresh prawns with an unparalleled view.
N. T.
There is nothing that could have been improved on. The building itself is beautiful, the food was INCREDIBLE, the service was friendly and professional, the price was very reasonable. 15/10. I would 100% reccomend.
L. G.
First time here but could be an honest mistake, check the bill for additional items and pull 'em up if there are any additional items that you didn't have.
Nice place though and the food is good!
R. F.
Awesome venue with a good costumer service. All the staff are really friendly and treated us really well, especially Lily and Manuela
J. S. S.
Our local with nice cold beers and atmosphere. What an amazing spot. A great place to bring visitors or for that special occasion to take in the views.

The Rib Eye, not for the vegetarians. Absolutely awesome meal, relaxing ale and a great view out over the Tasman.

B. H.
Nice and relaxed place, friendly bar staff and great service
T. W.
My mate Taylor met his missus here. Single blokes should take note cause he has a head like a half sucked mango. Beers are reasonable and your missus won't complain cause there's a view and the decor is well up to scratch. Everybody wins!
M. A.
Great food, staff and amazing view
F. h.
Beautiful bar but why the hell would you turn the best outdoor area overlooking the beach into a smoking area after 10 o'clock?? 5 stars only for that.
r. c.
Food and location is good but had to wait almost an hour for food and it wasn't even busy. Found out the order wasn't put through to the kitchen. Wasn't going to post this but heard of this happening to someone else.

Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly staff and good food. Highly recommend!

Burgers were good..I don't understand the decore of the place particularly coming to the old collaroy the current fit out is better suited to inner city than beach

Right on the beach, exceptional views and good solid food. Service was professional and the beer was cold, 5 stars

The food/coffee/drinks are nice. The interior is beautiful. Customer service is usually not that great.
