Mannie and his whole crew are an amazing group of people. With the busy St Kilda festival going on outside, it was awesome to be here to enjoy the delicious food and relax with a few sensational cocktails. The staff here are so friendly, great conversation and a bit of a laugh. Food recommendations were on point. Spanish garlic chicken and their Paella are a must have. Espresso Martini fans their Don Manolo is a must try, best twist to an Espresso. Highly recommend Manolo's Tapas Bar. We'll be back again for a third time for sure.
