Club Totem delivers unpretentious Northern Beaches comfort with cold tap beers, dependable bistro classics, and a relaxed refuge from busier coastal hubs. Regulars drop in for Monday steak nights, Thursday trivia, or a quiet post-work beer paired with the afternoon meat raffle. Upstairs in the Forty Baskets dining room, the kitchen plates hearty lamb shanks, garlic prawns, and crisp schnitzel with chips and gravy, while down at the bar, counter food orders keep running even when the restaurant dining room takes a break.

  • All-Day Bar Counter Service: Bar food ordering stays open even outside standard restaurant dining room hours.
  • Community Club Rituals: Weekly traditions run on steak nights, Thursday trivia, and weekend afternoon meat raffles.
  • Attentive Milestone Hosting: Dedicated function layouts feature perimeter wall seating that lets family gatherings and memorial wakes mingle comfortably while catering is continually refreshed.
