For the uninitiated, Manly's Peanut Butter Jelly is more of an experience than a venue. An eclectic array of street art from local and international artists adorns the walls of the five separate areas that make up the venue. Featuring everything from a casual bar area and outdoor seating to a private dining room, there's a spot for whatever vibe you're after.

The menu draws inspiration from the best parts of Caribbean, Asian and American (both North and South) cuisine — think jerk beer can chicken, pork belly bao and beef brisket tacos.

But its the Hot Bird burger ($22) that takes centre stage, featuring buttermilk fried chicken thigh, pickled jalapeños and smoked chipotle cream — you can also throw on another fried chicken thigh for an extra $5. It pairs well with the house Jelly Belly Lager, thus completing the indulgent experience that is a visit to Peanut Butter Jelly.
