Dee Why Hotel
834 Pittwater Road,
DEE WHY NSW 2099
The rebirth of the new and improved Dee Why Hotel proved somewhat disappointing. The media hype and talk between party-hungry teens gave the impression of a reinvented Mona Vale Hotel. However, upon entering, my imagined standards were not met. The bar was packed and the room was so loud; resembling that of an RSL club.
Bad impressions aside, the bar service was very fast (a great contribute to a messy night). Drink prices were fairly reasonable, with beers ranging from $4-$6 and mixed spirts between $6-$8. But fear not, if you have two legs, eyes, arms, and ears, and resemble (if even remotely), a female, I guarantee a guy will be buying you a drink here. Yes, Dee Why Hotel is creep central. The packed out function room allows those quick arse-grabs to go about unnoticed....
Interior design was very trendy, and the dim lighting created an intimate atmosphere. Like an RSL there was generous amounts of food avaliable all night for cents, and a stylish, secluded gambling room, but to my dismay no dancefloor!!! But all in all the Dee Why Hotel definately created a buzzy bar experiece, which it claimed to do so.
