Harlem on Central

It used to be, only a few years ago, that a night out in Manly, home of the silvertails, sandy beaches and surfers, involved heading down to the Corso and into a big ol’ beer barn. There’d you’d order beer, if you were a guy (it’s a beer barn, after all), and you were likely wearing a T-shirt.

Which is not to say that is bad, because there is a time and a place for that. But that was all there was. And it couldn’t be further from the truth today.

Foley Lane, just up the road from Shady Pines in Darlinghurst, is bringing all things Iberian to the area.
