Groups & sun deck

A waterfront gathering, your way

Bring your people together at Bistro Bondi, a bright, relaxed and practical Manly Wharf setting for shared lunches, social parties, after-work catch-ups and adult occasions. Start with the coastal grill, settle into the craft beer garden or sun deck, then choose whether a visit to the physical casino floor suits your group.

Build the day around the venue

One easy visit, with room for your own rhythm

Plan a gathering that moves naturally from a shared table to outdoor conversation and, for eligible adults who are interested, an in-person casino-floor visit. Each part can stand on its own or become part of a longer social catch-up.

01

Start with the coastal grill

Make a shared meal the opening point for the group. The kitchen gives beach arrivals, workmates and old friends a clear place to settle in, talk and enjoy the venue’s seafood and grill identity before deciding how the rest of the visit unfolds.

02

Take it out to the sun deck and taps

The sun deck brings the open-air side of a Manly Wharf gathering into focus. It is a relaxed place to continue the conversation around the coastal grill and craft beer garden atmosphere, without turning the occasion into something formal or exclusive.

03

Add casino entry if it suits the group

Eligible adults can pair their gathering with a visit to the physical, offline real-money casino floor, where blackjack, roulette, poker, pokies and other gaming are available in person. Gaming is entertainment, so groups can review responsible-gaming information before they enquire.

A bright place to gather by the wharf

The sun deck is the open-air heart of a casual gathering: a place to take in the Manly Wharf setting before or after dining, keep conversation moving and connect food, taps and time together without over-planning the day.

These are simply useful starting points, not fixed packages. Tell us what your group has in mind, and use the enquiry form to share the date, timing and the parts of the venue you would like to discuss.

Food and taps for a shared table

Make the table the meeting point

The coastal grill can anchor the group’s time together, whether everyone arrives from the beach, meets after work or plans to stay on for the casino floor. A shared table gives the day an easy centre, with the venue’s broader seafood identity close to the waterfront setting.

Kitchen 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM

Craft beer garden

Keep the drinks side easy

The craft beer garden is a relaxed complement to a meal and outdoor social time. Keep the emphasis on conversation, a comfortable pace and responsible hospitality, rather than trying to turn every part of the visit into a schedule.

Plan one visit, not separate stops

Use the enquiry form to outline dining, sun deck timing and any interest in a gaming tutorial or casino entry. The team can respond to the request and help you consider the right next step.

Gaming tutorials for first-timers and groups

Learn the floor before you join it

Gaming tutorials are an approachable introduction for eligible adults who want to understand the physical setting, table etiquette and available game types in person. The gaming is physical, offline and real money, but a tutorial is about orientation and informed choices, never a promise of outcomes.

What the tutorial can cover

  • Blackjack
  • Roulette
  • Poker
  • Pokies and other gaming

The session can help visitors recognise the venue environment and consider responsible choices before any individual decides whether to participate. It does not provide tactics, wagering advice or guidance on improving outcomes.
