FOOD TYPE Typical pub grub with a Portuguese flair and inspiration

FOOD Outstanding food quality going above the expectation of general pub food. Kick-off with some succulent garlic butter snails with a cheddar cheese topping or get your appetite going with the juicy crumb mushrooms. Half time indulge in the signature dish, Manny's Special, a mouthwatering trinchada of cubed rump soaked in red wine offered with chips or rice. For the big sporting appetite the 'slam' offers the distinct Grand Slam Burger, a massive yet delectable beef patty served on a just as large fresh roll filling any empty stomach. Full time there is a selection of desserts offering quality items to fully satisfy your appetite.

WINE An adequate selection with some offered by the glass.

SERVICE Quick and efficient service as staff is well trained. You can expect a delay during big games but waitresses are always ready on the sideline.

AMBIANCE As expected by any sport bar, décor is simply designed to enhance the sporting vibe with memorabilia of in-house preferred teams. Flat screen t.v's placed to the convenience of any viewing angle as well as the massive screen above the bar. A relaxed atmosphere during quiet times to a boisterous echo of excited fans during peak or high rise games. 

AND … Best to kit up and get there early for important matches/races as parking is limited and you want to ensure your favourite seat. Home boy 'Colin the car guard' will help you find the best spots and keep a watchdog eye on things. Designated smoking and non-smoking areas are available.
