About The Cabin Small Bar

Upstairs in Mount Hawthorn, this lodge-style retreat serves thoughtful share plates with warm fireside couches and an elevated sunset balcony. Take a seat for full table service—no queuing at the bar every round, just an open tab while plates of braised beef cheek, pan-fried pumpkin gnocchi, and crisp Shark Bay tiger prawns arrive at the table. Coeliacs and vegans get real menu depth rather than token sides, from dedicated gluten-free options to dairy-free orange and lavender cheesecake. Settle inside by the working hearth with a mulled wine or step out to catch the late afternoon light over Cabernet Merlot.

  • Fireside Lounge & Balcony: Comfortable couch seating surrounds a working indoor fire, paired with an open-air balcony capturing evening sunsets.
  • Full Table Service: Staff deliver food and drinks directly to your table on an ongoing tab, skipping the usual bar queues.
  • Coeliac & Vegan Menus: Broad choices for coeliacs and plant-based diners, including pan-fried gnocchi and dairy-free desserts.

  • Cozy Fireside Hearth Retreat

    Cooler evenings invite guests indoors to unwind on comfortable couches beside a working fireplace with warming food and mulled wine.

    the mulled wine next to the fireplace just made everything perfect considering the winter weather we currently have.

    The vegan gnocchi was pillowy soft and with a velvety smoothe, subtle pumpkin chestnut sauce which didn't over power the gnocchi.
