The Cumberland

Hidden behind a fridge door in the laneways of Manly, The Cumberland is an underground speakeasy with a Spanish twist. Named after the Parish of Manly Cove in the County of Cumberland, the name is a nod to the history of the area on which the venue stands. Concealed behind a fridge door within a small, bodega style deli, the sophisticated basement bar serves a selection of over 250 whiskies, natural wine, craft beer and an extensive themed cocktail menu including prohibition classics, tipples inspired by original counties from Sydney and surrounds as well as a section dedicated to ingredients that have been locally foraged and found. The Cumberland features ornate and vintage furnishings, including marble benchtops, hand-carved sandstone blocks, reclaimed timber, antique brass and copper accents and a handmade leather banquette seat that wraps the walls of the intimate 75 seater venue.
