Manly Wharf Hotel to Transform into Mini Seaside Cinema
Spend wintry Monday nights snuggled up by the sea with cult movies, cheap pub grub and cocktail jugs.
Both Mondays and the winter season have a pretty iffy rep; constantly scorned for following sunnier, happier, seemingly more leisurely times. But wintry Mondays are about to become something to look forward to; with one Sydney establishment taking it upon themselves to sweeten the start-of-week deal with a good ol' fashioned free movie night. Manly Wharf Hotel is transforming their main bar into a mini seaside cinema every Monday night from tonight until September.
Locked in for Monday nights from June 1 to September 29, Manly Wharf Hotel's new weekly Monday Night Movies series combines bean bags, $10 movie meals and plenty of popcorn with one pretty excellent film program running on the hotel's two-metre TV — we're talking cult favourites, sleepover classics and a few 'movies you should have seen by now'. Kicking off with perfect seaside film Jaws on June 1, the lineup includes surf classic Big Wednesday, White Russian-accompaniment The Big Lebowski, immortal tearjerker The Notebook, George Miller's original Mad Max, Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and plenty more.
It's a pretty cheap and easy way to start your week off on an effortlessly good note, with the Wharf Hotel kitchen cranking out a $10 movie menu just for Monday nights — think pub classics like barbecue chicken or Margherita pizzas, veggie, beef and chicken burgers. Or you could pop into the Burger Liquor Lobster pop-up and nab a cheeky lobster roll. There'll be $10 Tooheys New and Hahn Super Dry jugs and $10 weekly cocktails — also in jugs. Best bit? You can order from your bean bag; the MWH staff will be running a Gold Class-like in-seat service (without the Gold Class price tag).
