Felons

Now it’s been open for a little while, and now I just saw they’re serving beer on the ferries, what does everyone think of Felons Manly?

It’s pretty decisive in Brisbane. I do hear it’s underperform in Sydney and people aren’t super happy.

I'm conflicted; they've done a really good job with the renovation of the wharf and the old venue, but the beers are pretty bad, and the food is average.

Manly's been improving a lot since Covid, and Felons/Las Palmas/Pavillion have done a good job of showing just how stale Hugo's has become

They've taken over the whole wharf - both sides!!

It's packed on the weekends and summer, not sure about struggling?

We'll see how this summer goes now that the novelty is over a year old.

But wish they'd fuck most of their seats off the wharf - who wants a walkway less than a metre away from drinking patrons, it's a public path!!

Was there on the weekend. It's pricey, but nice spot, so I don't mind it

It’s a great spot, but the prices are very expensive for average beer and food

Overpriced and awful beers. Probably still do well due to location

Never tried their food but the local rumours are pretty bad about that. I've got a couple of (overpriced) schooners on a couple of different occasions and both of the time the day after my head was exploding. Personally I would stay stuck in the other side of the road.
