The Collaroy Is the Latest Northern Beaches Pub to Be Acquired by Merivale
The beachfront hotel will join Papi Chulo and The Newport.
Hospitality heavyweight Merivale has barely dipped its toe into Sydney's north, but where is has, it sure has done it a bang-up job of it. Proof of that lies in Manly Wharf's much-loved Papi Chulo and sprawling Pittwater pub The Newport, which Merivale reopened back in April 2016.
Now, the group's announced plans to again beef up its northern beaches portfolio by taking over the beachfront Collaroy Hotel. Perched right on the sand and boasting some pretty special ocean panoramas, there's no doubt that this beach boozer is primed for the signature Justin Hemmes treatment. What's more, it's bound to work pretty well as a sister venue to The Newport, which will unveil its second stage — a new indoor restaurant and bar — this summer.
At this stage, there's no word on exactly what we can expect from The Collaroy's newest incarnation or when exactly it's expected to open. We'll keep you posted. But for the time being, The Collaroy will remain open as usual.
