The Boathouse Group has added another banger to its already-impressive lineup, and this time, they've planted it right on the greens. Welcome to The Mona Social, a bar and bistro perched on the edge of Mona Vale Golf Course, with sweeping views of both the fairways and the beach beyond. It’s relaxed, it’s polished, and it’s fast becoming our go-to spot for a long lunch and an afternoon Aperol.
The Mona Social gives you the best of both worlds, laid-back coastal charm with just the right touch of country club swagger. Stylish without being snobby and lively without the chaos, it sits comfortably in that sweet spot. The guys at The Boathouse have done it again. Grab a seat outside and soak up lush views stretching across the golf course to the cliffs of Warriewood Beach. Order a cold drink and some salt and pepper squid and see just how soothing green can be.
The front bar keeps things casual; think pool tables, arcade games, sports on screen, and classic bar snacks done right. Prefer a little more polish? Head to the bustling bistro, where Head Chef Cameron Johnston (ex-Bathers’ Pavilion) reimagines bistro favourites with fresh ingredients, seasonal flavours, and a few creative twists.
It’s not just the setting or the food that has everyone talking. MoSo is one of the few places on The Beaches pouring a proper Guinness, and the drink specials are hard to beat: $12 Margaritas and Aperol Spritz, and $8 schooners of Swingers Lager, every day. No gimmicks, just consistently good value.
Weekends bring the $95 bottomless lunch. Two hours of free-flowing drinks and a two-course meal that feels like a mini holiday. And with regular events, weekly specials (hello trivia night and pasta Tuesdays) plus a venue that’s open daily from 11:30 am, it’s always a good time to swing by.
Whether it's a birthday, wedding, or just an excuse to gather, MoSo makes event planning easy, with semi-exclusive and full-venue options available.
