Manly has become the go-to suburb for savvy restaurant and bar operators, and Short Black hears Merivale is about to join the party.

With everyone from the Hugo's team to bar giant Keystone opening, the suburb has earned a reputation as a staging post for northern beaches expansion.

The chatter among high-powered Manly promenaders is that Merivale has cut a deal to open at Manly Wharf. A Merivale spokeswoman refused to comment and chief Justin Hemmes was unavailable for comment, but it would be a great addition for a suburb in the midst of a spit and polish, with The Ivanhoe pub on The Corso being the latest to be given a makeover.
