Stowaway is Freshwater’s first small bar. This cool, hidden balcony bar injects bohemian life into this popular beachside suburb. Part Western-style saloon, part nautical-themed bunker, locals anchor inside this hideout for evenings spent sipping well-crafted cocktails, dining on dude food, and having the occasional rowdy night.

Stowaway has built a steady flow of regulars with their reputation of providing a place for friends and locals to drop in for their end-of-day beverage. You can easily hide in here for hours convincing your friends with “just one more shout” not to leave!

It prides itself on its cracking cocktail list, artisan Aussie Gin selection, natural wines and killer food, but it’s the vibe that sees you coming back. Quintessentially laid back and friendly after a couple of visits, the staff will know your name.

Go for … the Eternal Sunshine Cocktail – Cucumber Tequila, watermelon, native Strawberry Gum-infused agave, citrus, flake salt rim with a melon ribbon.

Stay for … the Prawn Hub Pizza – Prawns with sun-dried tomato pesto, caramelised onion, and garlic. Topped with rocket and lemon.

Drink … a schooner of Mountain Culture on tap.
And … if you can’t be bothered dressing up and heading out – they deliver their menu to your door via their website.
