All Front line staff are trained in the Responsible Service of Alcohol

The Manly Hotel supports a number of initiatives which strive to promote the responsible service and consumption of alcohol & reserves the right to refuse service.

The Manly Hotel has a policy to serve patrons in a responsible, friendly and professional manner. Our employees, are on hand to assist patrons in their decision to drink responsibly and, where appropriate, avoid the dilemmas of combining drinking and driving.  It is illegal to serve any person under the age of 18 years, or any patron judged to be at risk due to intoxication or unruly behaviour.  We see our Hotel Policy on refusal of service as important to our business in the following ways:

Ø        Our customers do not want to be irritated by irresponsible drinkers

Ø        The image of our Hotel is compromised by irresponsible drinkers

Ø        We are definitely not being neighbourly by having intoxicated guests leave our premises.

Patron Care

We need to care for the customers in our Hotel.  Should they be refused service we still ensure, as far as is possible, that they have a safe means of transport and that their welfare has been considered.

Our staff will:

Ø        Always greet patrons warmly and treat each equally.

Ø        Always look directly at patrons when speaking with them.

Ø        Report patron complaints to a Manager.

Drink Walking is a killer on our roads.  Last year one third of all adult pedestrians killed had been drinking.  Why risk it?
1. Walk home with a sober friend or group
2. Stay on the footpath
3. Cross only at crossings and traffic lights
4. Catch public transport or a taxi

Drink Spiking happens.
Be aware that rapists are using this new strategy
Educate yourself about drink spiking safety

Stay together with trusted friends

Monitor drinks constantly

Avoid tasting or exchanging drinks with others

Refuse any drinks from open containers

Throw away drinks that taste funny or salty
